Fcode and includes these topics:

•

Section 3.1, “BIOS Features,” page 3-1

Section 3.2, “Troubleshooting,” page 3-14

3.1 BIOS Features

A BIOS is the ROM code that is loaded by the system to facilitate booting

from Fibre Channel drives. The BIOS also contains an embedded

conﬁguration manager, used to conﬁgure options provided by the

ﬁrmware. The LSI Logic BIOS integrates with a standard system BIOS,

extending the standard disk service routine provided through INT13h.

Two types of BIOS are available for the LSI7202CP:

•

Intel BIOS for Intel-based platforms

Fcode for Solaris SPARC platforms.

Both Intel BIOS and Fcode concurrently reside on the boards.

3.1.1 Intel BIOS

This section provides the features, description, and installation of the

Intel Fibre Channel BIOS.

3.1.1.1 Intel BIOS Features

The LSI Logic FC Intel BIOS features support:

Selection and conﬁguration for up to 256 adapters

•

LSI7202CP CompactPCI Dual Channel 2 Gbit/s Fibre Channel Host Adapter 3-1

•

Boot device selection from any four host adapters

Automatic INT13 drive mapping for Fibre Channel drives

3.1.1.2 BIOS Overview

During the boot time initialization, the Intel BIOS determines if there are

other hard disks, such as an IDE drive, already installed by the system

BIOS. If there are, the Intel BIOS maps any Intel drives it ﬁnds after the

drive(s) already installed. Otherwise, the Intel BIOS installs drives

starting with the system boot drive. In this case, the system boots from

a drive controlled by the Intel BIOS.

3.1.1.3 Intel BIOS Boot Speciﬁcation (BBS)

The Intel BIOS provides support for the BIOS Boot Speciﬁcation (BBS),

which allows you to choose which device to boot from by selecting the

priority.

To use this feature, the system BIOS must also be compatible with the

BBS. If your system supports the BBS, use the system BIOS setup menu

to select the boot and drive order. In the system BIOS setup, the Boot

Connection Devices menu appears with a list of available boot options.

Use that menu to select the device and rearrange the order. Then exit to

continue the boot process.

3.1.2 Starting the Intel BIOS Conﬁguration Utility

The LSI Logic Intel BIOS allows you to change the default conﬁguration

of your host adapters, using the embedded BIOS Conﬁguration Utility.

When the BIOS loads, the following message appears on your monitor:

Press Ctrl-C to start LSI Logic Configuration Utility...

This message remains on your screen for about ﬁve seconds, giving you

time to start the utility. After you press Ctrl-C, the message changes to:

Please wait, invoking LSI Logic Configuration Utility...

After a brief pause, your computer monitor displays the Main menu of the

BIOS Conﬁguration Utility.

3-2

BIOS Features

Note:

Not all devices detected by the Conﬁguration Utility can be

controlled by the BIOS. Devices such as tape drives and

scanners require that a device driver speciﬁc to that periph-

eral be loaded. The BIOS Conﬁguration Utility does allow

parameters to be modiﬁed for these devices.

3.1.3 Using the Intel BIOS Conﬁguration Utility

This section provides the menu formats and user inputs available to

inform users about this utility prior to running it. All BIOS Conﬁguration

Utility screens that display various menus are partitioned into ﬁxed areas.

This area provides static general help text information.

3.1.3.1 Main Menu

When you invoke the LSI Logic Intel BIOS Conﬁguration Utility, the Main

menu appears. This screen displays a scrolling list of up to 256 host

adapters in the system and information about each of them.

To select an adapter, use only the arrow keys and enter key. Then, press

Enterto view and modify the selected adapter’s properties (and to gain

access to the attached devices). After selecting an adapter and pressing

Enter, the FC Link bus is scanned and the Adapter Properties screen

appears.

On the Main menu, two selections are the Boot Adapter List and Global

Properties menus.

Boot Adapter List allows selection and ordering of boot adapters. Refer

to Section 3.1.3.5, “Boot Adapter List Menu,” page 3-5 for more detailed

information.

Global Properties allows changes to global scope settings. Refer to

display this menu, select a device under Adapter ﬁeld on the Main menu

and press Enter.

3.1.3.3 Persistent IDs Menu

The Persistent ID screen is used to review the automatic mapping

between a drive WorldWide Name and its assigned logical SCSI bus and

target ID. You can also use this screen to force a drive to a speciﬁc

logical Target ID.

Selecting Add WWN at an unused location clears out the associated

WWN/DID ﬁeld and allows you to enter the ﬁrst 16 characters of the

WWN. Pressing <Enter>afterwards allows the last 16 characters to be

entered. The CU automatically adds any leading zeros if necessary. If

you make an entry by mistake, select Erase on the appropriate line to

remove the entry.

Logical ID selection defaults to be the lowest ID available. This can be

changed by using the <+> or <-> keys to cycle the numbers. The Bus

ﬁeld always defaults to 0 and cannot be changed. It is displayed in the

case where an outside utility reserved a different number.

Next Page and Previous Page options are provided on the persistent ID

screens, through the F2 key, which moves the screen forward or back by

16 entries. However, the CU requires that any modiﬁcations to the

current page be stored before new entries may be viewed or modiﬁed. A

conﬁrmation window pops up asking to store or discard changes if

needed.

3.1.3.4 Device Properties Menu

The Device Properties menu allows you to view and update individual

device settings for an adapter.

Note:

The number of ﬁelds on the menu requires that you scroll

left/right to view all of the information. When accessing this

menu, use the Home/End keys to scroll to columns cur-

rently not displayed. The scroll indicator on the bottom of

the menu shows where the cursor is relative to the ﬁrst and

last columns.

3.1.3.5 Boot Adapter List Menu

The Boot Adapter List menu speciﬁes the order in which adapters boot

when more than one LSI Logic host adapter is in a system. You can

select up to four of the total adapters in a system as bootable; however,

you can use only one of the four “active” adapters to control a Boot

Volume.

To select this menu:

1. Press F2 while on the Main menu to move the cursor to the menu

area.

2. Move the cursor to Boot Adapter List with the arrow keys.

3. Press Enter.

You can add or delete adapters using this menu. To add an adapter to

the boot list, press the Insert key while on the Boot Adapter List. Use

the arrow keys to select the desired adapter and press Enter to add it

to the end of the Boot Adapter List.

To remove an adapter from the boot list, press the Deletekey while on

the desired adapter in the Boot Adapter List. You can also change the

boot order by using the “+” or “−” keys. For example, place the cursor on

the adapter that you want to change, and use the “+” or “−” key to raise

or lower the boot order.

3.1.3.6 Global Properties Menu

The Global Properties menu allows you to pause if an alert message has

been displayed, to view display boot information, and to set display and

video modes.

2. Does the LED on the adapter indicate LINK? (note that LINK is only

valid after the device is probed)

3. Does the LED on the switch or remote enclosure indicate LINK?

4. Does the LINK-SPEED parameter selected by the adapter match

that of the bus (1G, 2G, or Auto)?

If you do not see disks, the following additional debug information may

help to identify the problem.

3.1.5.3 Verifying Correct Installation

Use this procedure to verify installation of your Fusion-MPT adapter in

the system:

Step 1. Power on the system.

Step 2. When the banner displays, press the Stop-A keys to interrupt

the boot process and stop at the ok prompt.

Step 3. Use the show-devs command to list the system devices. You

should see an output similar to the following:

3.1.5.4 Adapter-Speciﬁc Settings

In certain circumstances, the advanced user may want to change

settings for an individual adapter or port, without affecting the other

adapters in the system. Speciﬁc examples of such settings are Fibre

Channel bus speed, host adapter ID (SCSI only: Not Applicable to Fibre

Channel), and Interrupt Coalescing.

To select a speciﬁc Fusion-MPT adapter as the current adapter, use the

selectcommand. Selecting a port or adapter will bring the port online,

and will allow you to show or set certain adapter speciﬁc parameters.

You should use caution while issuing the following commands, as certain

commands could render the bus unusable (such as forcing 1 Gbit/s

operation on a 2 Gbit/s Fibre Channel loop).

select – Use the selectopenboot command to select the adapter entry.

This will open the port to bring the port online.

3.1.5.5 Interrupt Coalescing

Interrupt coalescing allows the ﬁrmware on the Fusion-MPT device to

group I/Os together to minimize the overhead to the host system. This

feature can result in signiﬁcant performance beneﬁts when I/Os are

rapidly coming into the adapter, as is the case while performing small

sequential reads from a disk.

LSI Logic has performed signiﬁcant testing under multiple I/O conditions,

and has determined that the interrupt coalescence values that are

beneﬁcial over a wide range of I/O conditions are a depth of 4, with a

timeout of 160 microseconds. This means that the host is interrupted

only once for four I/Os processed by the chip, unless 160 microseconds

has passed since the host was last interrupted.

Although LSI Logic has determined that these settings are optimal for a

wide variety of situations, your own I/O load may beneﬁt from a deeper

queue or a longer timeout. LSI Logic provides a mechanism to modify

these values and write them to the nonvolatile EEPROM on the adapter.

Select the port or adapter shown (use the port name your system assigns):

ok select /pci@8,700000/IntraServer,fc@1

ok show-interrupt-coalescing

Interrupt coalescing timeout is a0 (160 decimal) microseconds

3.1.5.6 Set Fibre Channel Link Speed

There are two modes of operation for Fibre Channel, 1 Gbit/s and

2 Gbit/s. It is important to match the speed of the port with the speed of

the loop or fabric to which the port is attached.

LSI Logic has implemented auto-negotiation on the 2 Gbit/s capable

Fusion-MP devices. If you are experiencing difﬁculty with the auto

negotiate algorithm on your fabric or loop, or you wish to manually set or

show the link speed for the adapter, use the following procedure:

3.1.5.7 Persistent Device Naming

Under certain conﬁgurations, such as when the Fibre Channel disk is the

boot device of a system, it may be preferable to lock a target disk to a

unit number. LSI Logic Fcode allows the system administrator to write a

nonvolatile map of IDs to the Fibre Channel controller.

The following is an example of how to map devices in the persistent

device table.

Select the controller you want to modify, as follows:

ok show-disks

a) /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,fc@2/disk

b) /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,Ultra2-scsi@1/disk

c) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/cdrom

d) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/disk

by your system, check the following:

1. Is the Fibre Channel enclosure powered ON?

2. Does the LED on the adapter indicate LINK? (note that LINK is only

valid after the device is probed)

3. Does the LED on the switch or remote enclosure indicate LINK?

4. Does the LINK-SPEED parameter selected by the adapter match

that of the bus (1G, 2G, or Auto)?

If you do not see disks, the following additional debug information may

help to identify the problem.

4.3 itmpt Device Driver

The LSI Logic itmpt driver is designed to Sun Microsystems SCSA

speciﬁcations for device drivers. This driver allows connection of devices

to LSI Logic adapter cards on PCI-based machines. Refer to

Section 4.3.1, “Installing the itmpt Sun SPARC Solaris Driver,” for

information on installing the itmpt device driver.

4.3.1 Installing the itmpt Sun SPARC Solaris Driver

The LSI Logic LSI7202CP uses the itmpt driver for Solaris systems. This

driver is included with your adapter kit. The following sections describe

the procedures to install the itmpt driver on Solaris based systems.

Note:

If you plan to use an LSI Logic adapter for your system

Solaris Software Requirements

4.3.1.2 Network Installation Procedure

If you are using your LSI Logic adapter to support your Sparc Solaris

system disk, you must install the Solaris operating system using a

network install. This section describes a complete installation of the

Solaris operating system to a client system using LSI Logic adapters for

the system disk. The method described in this section allows you to

install the LSI Logic itmpt driver onto a network boot kit, making it

available during the Sparc installation process.

If you are simply installing an LSI Logic adapter as an additional storage

adapter in an existing system, use the driver installation procedure

described in the “Distribution File Install” portion of Section 4.3.1.1,

“Existing System Installation.”

Setting up a Boot/Install Server – Refer to the “Preparing to Install

Solaris Software Over the Network,” section of the Solaris Advanced

Installation Guide, available at http://docs.sun.com.

The basic steps to set up a boot and install server are as follows:

Step 1. Insert the Solaris distribution CD in the boot/install server’s CD-

ROM drive.

Step 2. Change your directory to the Tools area on the distribution CD:

cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_2.8/Tools

Step 3. Use the setup_install_server script to copy the boot and

installation ﬁles to the boot/install server:

./setup_install_server /export/home/install

Installing the itmpt Driver on the Boot/Install Server – After you

have set up the network boot and install server, follow these steps to run

the install.sh script, using the –nparameter to copy the driver kit to

the boot server’s boot ﬁles:

Step 1. Place the diskette in the ﬂoppy drive and execute the volcheck

command to ensure the system sees the ﬂoppy.

Step 2. Change the directory to the root of the ﬂoppy:

cd /floppy/floppy0

Step 3. Execute the install.sh shell script to add the itmpt driver to

the boot installation area:

itmpt Device Driver

4-7

./install.sh –n /export/home/install/Solaris_2.8

Notes:

For Solaris 2.7 boot ﬁles, the installation directory is

/export/home/install/Solaris_2.7.

For Solaris 2.6 boot ﬁles, the installation directory is

/export/home/install/Solaris_2.6.

You can safely ignore the message: “major number

maximum based on server, not client.”

Running the install.shscript this way copies and installs the LSI Logic

drivers into the Tools/Boot/ area of the boot ﬁles and allows LSI Logic

adapters to be booted for installation using the bootserver.

Adding Clients to Your Boot/Install Server – For each machine that

boots into the boot/install server, follow these steps to add a client entry

on the boot/install server:

Step 1. Change the directory to the boot/install kit:

cd /export/home/install/Solaris_2.8/Tools

Step 2. Use the add_install_client script to add the client machine

./add_install_client -i ipaddr

-e ethernetid client_name platform_group

Where:

ipaddr

is the tcp/ip address of the client

ethernetid

is the ethernet hardware (mac) address of

the client

client_name

is the client’s system name

platform_group is the client’s vendor deﬁned hardware

group

Example: ./add_install_client -i 192.168.103.124 –e

00:08:26:02:25:34 sunsys sun4u

Note:

You can obtain the platform_group from a machine of the

same type as the target client using the uname –m

command.

Booting the Client Using the itmpt FC Driver – Now you can begin

the installation of the Solaris operating system to the client target

4-8

Solaris Software Requirements

machine using the boot and install server. On the client machine, boot

the network install kit you created in the preceding steps as follows:

ok boot net -v

Important: Choose “Manual Reboot” rather than “Auto Reboot” during

the installation of Solaris on the target machine. If you

choose “Auto Reboot”, you will not have the opportunity to

complete the installation of the LSI Logic drivers and your

system will fail to boot.

After the installation is complete and the system is waiting to be manually

rebooted, proceed to a console window and run the following script:

/sbin/itmptinst

This script copies and installs the drivers from the boot server to the

newly created Solaris installation. After this script is run, the LSI Logic

device driver installation is complete and the system can be rebooted.

Notes:

You can safely ignore the message: “major number

maximum based on server, not client.”

Your Sun machine will prompt you to allow power saving

automatic shutdown. You must answer no to this question

if you are using the LSI Logic adapter to support your boot

disk.

If you change the disk drive conﬁguration of your machine,

it may be necessary to issue the command:

touch /reconfigure

and then reboot the system to allow it to detect and cor-

rectly install your new disks.
