Applies to:Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 ServerSun Fire V210 Server Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server Sun Fire V215 Server Sun Fire V240 Server All Platforms To discuss this information further with Oracle experts and industry peers, we encourage you to review, join or start a discussion in the My Oracle Support Community, Entrylevel Servers. GoalThis document will assist the user to identify if the HBA controller is on-board (integrated on the motherboard) or installed as a PCI card, as well as it's status.Available for this topic, a Video Tutorial; Brief how-to video tutorials that provide step-by-step instructions answering Sun's most frequently asked questions.

SolutionVerifying the HBA controller path and status on Sun SPARC systemsTo troubleshoot a specific HBA controller, the user needs to identify if the controller is onboard or resides on a plug-in PCI card. To determine if the controller is on-board you need to examine the device path for the specific server platform. The device paths for the different server platforms using an onboard LSI disk controller (LSI1030, LSI1064 and LSI1068) are: V440: /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2 V215: /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@a/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@1 V245: /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@a/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@1 V445: /pci@1f,700000/pci@0/pci@2/pci@0/pci@8/LSILogic,sas@1 T1000: /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2 T2000 using factory installed PCI-X card (370-7696): /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0,2/LSILogic,sas@2 T2000 with on-board controller: /pci@780/pci@0/pci@9/scsi@0 T5120/T5220: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0 T5140/T5240: /pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@0/ T5440: /pci@400/pci@0/pci@1/scsi@0/
280R: /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4 V480/V490: /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2 V880/V890: /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@2 For more details on supported LSI disk controllers refer to Technical Instruction: <Document: 1007109.1> Support Differences on Internal LSI-RAID controller on SPARC platforms . For a complete device/slot map of the different servers refer to: <Document: 1005907.1> Solaris[TM] Operating System: Matrix of Recognized Device Paths . For the FC-AL controllers the status can be checked with the 'luxadm' command. Here is an example for V880/V890: v890-b# luxadm -e port Found path to 5 HBA ports /devices/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0:devctl <-- onboard FC-AL /devices/pci@9,700000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0:devctl <-- PCI slot 6 /devices/pci@9,700000/pci@3/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0:devctl <-- PCI slot 5 /devices/pci@9,700000/pci@3/SUNW,qlc@5/fp@0,0:devctl <-- PCI slot 5 /devices/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0:devctl <-- PCI slot 7 In this example, the first line in the 'luxadm' output is for the on-board controller, the remaining lines represent Qlogic HBAs installed in different PCI slots (dual port HBA in slot 5, also HBAs in slot 6 and 7). Note: When using PCI plug-in card(s) as an HBA controller, always verify that a supported card is installed. Using unsupported or 3rd party HBAs may cause different problems.
