Hi all.
Sorry for my english.
I have E4800 server, T3 array and SAN. My server have 2 FC adapters. One for T3, other for SAN (HP EVA5000, QLA2300). After reboot I see:
qlc driver trying attach to both FC adapters, but cannot attach to QLA2300. I installed driver qla2300 from HP.com, but not initialized. Always qlc driver trying to attach to FCA 2300. What do I need to do ?
The first thing to check is who's HBA each is by looking at the PCI identifiers.
Look at the output of the "prtconf -vpD" command.
Each HBA will have two lines that are important. The first to appear is "compatible:" and the second is "name:"
compatible: 'pci1077,2.1077.2.5' + 'pci1077,2.1077.2' + 'pci1077
,2' + 'pci1077,2200.5' + 'pci1077,2200' + 'pciclass,10000' + 'pciclass,0000'
###SNIP###
name: 'QLGC,qla'
Now the OS will then look for a "name" listed in the /etc/driver_aliases to match a driver to the HBA. If a "name" is not found the OS starts using each of the compatible entries and will match drivers to those entries.
What you could do is run the following commands and post their output here and I'll tell you what's wrong:
prtconf -vpD | grep 1077
grep ql /etc/driver_aliases

I extracted the file adapter.properties from the QLogic SCLI utility. It has an index of the identities of the QLogic cards. That first one of 1077,106 is a Sun Amber-2 X6767, not an HP card as you thought.
The two 1077,4082 cards are Sun Amber HBA ports.
Lastly the 1077,2200,5 is probably either a generic qlogic card or a fibre down if this is a SB100/280R...
