This document discusses FC HBA PCI cards, not the embedded FC interface on server's system board.
Note: Ethernet/IP Network Interface Cards (NIC) with Fibre Channel Interfaces can be mistaken for FC HBA cards.
Regardless if a fc hba port is seeing any storage devices the fc hba card itself is normally recognized by the Solaris Operating System and listed in several command outputs including:
- fcinfo hba-port (Solaris 10 and above)
- cfgadm -al
- prtdiag -v
- luxadm -e port
- prtpicl -v
Note: NON-Oracle fc hba cards using Oracle FC HBA Drivers will be listed in above commands as well. NON-Oracle fc hba cards using NON-Oracle FC HBA Drivers will only be listed in following commands:
- fcinfo hba-port (Solaris 10 and above)
- prtdiag -v
- prtpicl -v
If issue is determined to be defective card your NON-Oracle FC HBA card support vendor will need to be contact to troubleshoot and/or replace the card.
