Emulex LPe11002 BIOS BFS

I have one Cisco UCS C200 M2 rack mount server with Qlogic CNA installed. I have removed Qlogic CNA and inserted Emulex LPe11002 HBA, connected the HBA to the fabric, and assigned one LUN with single-path to the UCS server. The installed OS is RHEL5.4, and the OS is seeing the LUN.
Now i need to install the OS on the LUN. I rebooted the server, went into BIOS setup, but in the boot disk order i am not seeing the Emulex HBA, and nor the LUN. Only the local disk is displayed in the BIOS.
Then i booted the server with it's installed RHEL OS on the local disk, installed HBAnyware, and flashed the latest Emulex firmware and boot code. Then i rebooted the server, went into BIOS setup, but still i am not seeing HBA/LUN. And also i am not seeing any Emulex BIOS message whenever the server is booting.
Please anyone tell me, what i am missing? Why Emulex BIOS is not showing during POST? Why the LUN is not displayed in BIOS Setup?
Thanks.

Sounds like the option ROM isn't loading/flashed correctly.
What version/package of Option ROM boot code did you use? I assume you've already disabled the Quet Boot in the C2xx BIOS and are still not seeing the Emulex BIOS (Ctrl+E). Being able to see the LUN in the OS (when drivers are loaded), but not during boot points to the Option ROM.
The EFI Flash utility is the easiest way to update the firmware image. Current version is EFIBoot Version 4.12a7.

Solaris 11.1 Comstar FC target

Hello,
I have a problem with the comstar as a FC target.
New install of Solaris 11.1
HBA is an Emulex LPe11002
Brocade 5100B switches
2x 10x 3TB NL-SAS disks in raidz2 in pool
It all works, but the speed is unusable slow to the LUN.
iSCSI work and I am able to hit the max of the network so there is no problems with access to access the disks.

It seems no one is using Solaris as a FC target anymore and since we do not have 10Gbe in our lab and some systems cannot communicate via IP to others, FC is the only form of backup.
Can someone please let me know if they are using Solaris as an FC target and perhaps some pointers. On the example above I am trying to clone using VMware from a LUN on an EMC array to the Solaris node. As I mentions the speed is good in OI, but then it seems there is a driver issue.

We have tons of other devices connected to the Brocade 5100B switches. I tried connecting the system to two different switches individually with the same result. We are basically 100% Emulex shop and I only have the one qlt card
I have now tried a brand new Emulex LPe11002 card in a different PCI-E slot, new cable and different FC switch.
I have similar problems with Openindiana and no problems with any of the emc vnx/cx/data domain connected to the same switches or any of the hosts connected to them as the targets using the same LPe10000/LPe11002/LPe12002 cards.
Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Accidentally found this. Some comments. Unfortuinately, we run Solaris FC as initiators/clients to san target LUNs on NetApp and HP.
1. There were patches in sol 10 for fc cards for bugs, driver and firmware upgrades, fcode/bios which I believe is for san boot only.
I read somewhere these patches for sun/oracle branded FC cards would not be released under Sol 11, have not looked.
Sample patches for Qlogic for Sol 10 are 114874-07 for fcode/bios and 149175-03 for everything else. Unfortunately we're most Qlogic and only have a couple Emulex in Linux systems. So is 11.1 really supporting these FC cards now or is the user responsible for downloading drivers and firmware from vendors and installing?.
2. Have heard when zfs gets to around 80% capacity i/o performance can suffer. This may have been fixed, been avoiding with quotas.
Then of course if looking for continuous speed don't turn on compression.
3. Do you have/need the sol 11.1 multi-path package when Solaris has the targets/LUNs? Are you configured for MPxIO?
pkg info system/storage/multipath-utilities
4. Do you need any kernel changes to /etc/system for performance? Some below are x86.
set sd:sd_max_throttle=64   sparc
set ssd:ssd_max_throttle=64   x86
set maxphys=1048576
set ssd:ssd_io_time=60        x86
5.   Do you need to worry about 4K alignment from client side?
These are all things I worry about but Solaris is an initiator in our environment along with every other platform.
This is old and hopefully resolved by this time!
where (s)sd_max_throttle= 256

How to reconfigure Cards installed in PCI slots

Hi All
My customer has OEL linux. installed on his HP DL380 G7 server. It has 4 Emulex LPe11002 dual port cards installed. The cards in PCI slot 3 and 5 are needed for network connection.
So he needs to configure the cards in PCI slot 3 and 5 to be used for the network using port 0 on the cards.
Any guidance help would be appreciated.
Thanks

those are HBA FC cards
What protocol your costumer want to have on those cards?
IPoFC ?if yes, I haven't done my self, how ever, I did read about time ago, and looks like due the costs of the hardware/switch, all the progress went to 10GE/24GE and infini band.
not sure if IPoFC is something in the normal skill set of a linux sysadmin.
What's the speed of those FC cards and switches?

Maximum number of fabric logins

Hi there
I need to provide documented references for a large SAN, and have a few queries.
I have the show tech-supports for an edge-core-edge SAN consisting of 2 redundant fabrics.
There are 4 host edges, 1 core, 4 storage edges per fabric. All are MDS 9500 series directors, running SAN-OS 3.2.2a.
In the Large SAN Design Best Practices whitepaper
(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/ps4159/ps6409/ps5990/white_paper_C11-515630.pdf)
there is a reference to the maximum number of fabric logins.
"The Cisco MDS Family supports up to 10,000 fabric logins in a physical fabric, regardless of the number of VSANs in the network."
1) Is this specifically refering to the number of f_ports?
2) If not, what is the 10,000 referring to?
In the Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 5.0 Configuration Limits
(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/sw/5_0/configuration/guides/limits/limits_50.html)
there is a mention of 10000 FCNS entries per fabric.
This is the only reference I can find that correlates the two limits.
The Configuration Limits for Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5989/prod_troubleshooting_guide_chapter09186a0080679fd4.html)
makes no mention of FCNS or fabric login limits.
3) Is the reference to 10000 FCNS entries (in the NX-OS 5 limits) also the number of fabric logins?
In the show tech-support, there is a command
`show tech-support fcns`
`show fcns database vsan 1-4093`
VSAN 431:

I would really appreaciate answers to these questions.

John,
Cisco NXOS Configuration Limits (reference/background link)
1) Is this specifically refering to the number of f_ports?
   Answer: Yes, the 10k logins in the Design Guide Whitepaper refer to the number of Fabric logins, not the number of physical ports. This is because you could have a single F_Port that has multiple logins as part of it. For example, an Nexus 5000 in NPV mode could connect to a MDS 9513 via one F_port (NP_Port on the Nexus 5k), but have many Fabric Logins (technically, one FLOGI and multiple FDISC).
2) If not, what is the 10,000 referring to?
     Answer: Number of devices logged into the Fabric not the number of ports in the fabric.
3) Is the reference to 10000 FCNS entries (in the NX-OS 5 limits) also the number of fabric logins?
     Answer: Yes, since every device out there that FLOGIs into the fabric registers with the nameserver.
4) In the below output does this mean that there are 1066 fabric logins?
In the show tech-support, there is a command
`show tech-support fcns`
`show fcns database vsan 1-4093`

It shows that most of the entries have the port-type: N.
Answer: An N_Port is an end device like a storage port or an HBA, which connects to an F_Port (Fabric Port) which is the corresponding port on the switch. This is why you see it as an port-type of N, rather than NL (Node Loop) F, E, or FL (Fabric Loop), as only N or NL can represent the end device itself and not the port on the switch.
Hope this helps,
Seth

IBM Blade HS23 Emulex Adapter Woes

I inherited an IBM Blade chassis with three HS23 blades in it, each sporting an Emulex 10GbE VFA Advanced II module.
I have been tasked with adding three additional blades to the chassis with the same cards. I am having terrible trouble setting these up or finding documentation that may describe the process.
One very interesting thing I have noticed is the new blades have a BIOS option for "Emulex iSCSI EFI Configuration Utility" the original blades do not.
If any of you out there have advice or could point me to documentation it would be greatly appreciated.
I have submitted a ticket with IBM but they have yet to respond.
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hi ciscolive,You do not need to install software FCoE adapter because the LOM has a capability of hardware FCoE initiator. On the screenshot, adapter type is corrrectly shown as "Fibre Channel" and it looks that the host recognizes the LOM correctly. Ref) Configuring FCoE Adaptershttps://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp#com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc_50/GUID-A9503ED6-2622-4278-890E-B869C3971A9F.html Hardware FCoE AdaptersThis category includes completely offloaded specialized Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) that contain network and Fibre Channel functionalities on the same card.When such adapter is installed, your host detects and can use both CNA components. In the vSphere Client, the networking component appears as a standard network adapter (vmnic) and the Fibre Channel component as a FCoE adapter (vmhba). You do not need to configure the hardware FCoE adapter to be able to use it. Thanks,

Downgrading Emulex HBA firware on C 200 series servers

Currently all of our Emelux HBA firware version 2.82A4 onto all of C 200 series server. After installing Hitachi multi pathing software (HDLM) windows 2003 servers ended up with blue screen. Now Hitachi is saying that current HBA version is not supported by HDLM and it should be STOR Miniport 2.33.008 or less. It would be greatly appreicated if anybody give or share ideas to downgrade HBA firware? I am pretty much new with Cisco servers. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you

Chandra,
If the C 200 is managed by UCSM, it's a simple task. You simply can change FW versions of the adapters via the GUI using a Host Firmware Package. Instructions for this can be found on the UCS support pages. Keep in mind any FW versions offered will be supported by Cisco. Earlier versions may not.
If the C 200 is a standalone server (not managed by UCSM), then you will need to use one of the Emulex HBA utilities to flash the firmware on the card.
Q. Which model of Emulex HBA do you have exactly?
You can pull down the FW and flash util from the Emulex Website. You'll just need to ensure you select the correct model and select "Previous Versions" tab when looking for the FW revision.
Ex.
http://cmw3wbp1.emulex.com/files/downloads/hardware/lpe11002/prev_fw.html
I don't see many FW versions earlier than 2.50.x, so if you can't find it on their website you may need to contact Emulex directly.
Regards,
Robert

Bfs breaks kvm-intel

Tried the kernel with BFS and it broke my kvm-intel module so VirtualBox wouldn't use VT. When we tried to modprobe kvm-intel, dmesg would show "kvm: disabled by bios". Obviously this is not usable.
This may have been a compile error on my part as I'm new to kernel-building, but I kept the whole virtualization section checked on make menuconfig, so maybe not. But it doesn't make a lot of sense because afaik a scheduler change shouldn't do anything to make a KVM module refuse to load, so maybe I just built it wrong.
If anyone else has trouble with bfs and kvm-intel, try using a stock kernel and see if it fixes it. It did for me. If anyone feels this may be a legit bug and not just user error, let me know and I'll send a report to ck.

I disabled this check by commenting out the error in kvm/x86.c. It resulted in a hard lock when I tried to start a VM, as one might expect.

I tested a few things and did another fresh install (just because I like having a clean slate when experimenting) and installed the kernel26-bfs kernel image again. All seemed fine. Rebooted, shutdown and power upped a few times. Still good, so I shut down the laptop for the day and went to bed. (changed NO config files) Next morning I woke up and turned on the computer, which took a lot longer than usual. I found that when prompted at Lilo boot screen I couldn't type "bfs" (my kernel image named) but it ended up booting it anyway (after 50 seconds) since it was my default image. During the startup sequence it freaks out and kernel panics, trying to look for "device 802", whatever the heck that is. I don't know where it got that from since I had rebooted, etc, the previous day where it looked for "device /dev/sda2". So it shows a bunch of "kernel panic" lines and comes to a halt.
Here's what it says when it boots, where the errors come in:
Waiting 10 seconds for device 802..
Root device '802' doesn't exist. Attempting to create it
/bin/mknod /dev/root b 8 2
:: Initramfs Completed - control passing to kinit
IP-Config: no device to configure
Waiting 0 s before mounting root device...
kinit: Unable to mount root fs on device dev(8,2)
kinit: init not found!
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Pid: 1, comm: kinit Not tainted 2.6.30-ARCH #1
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff8054d401>] ? panic+0x9a/0x154

[<ffffffff80253df2>] ? sys_exit+0x22/0x30
[<ffffffff8020c442>] ? system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
That's what the kernel says, anyway. This could be the issue for my HARDWARE? Even without trying to boot Arch, I'm still unable to type. So,....
Anyway, I manually had to power down my laptop and I put in a LiveCD (Knoppix), it still wouldn't let me type with my keyboard, so I had to manually power down again. I tried the Arch LiveUSB image. Still nothing. I tried everything I could think of. I can't even hit the F9, F10, etc, keys during laptop start to enter my BIOS. I noticed a weird delay that I never had before. Usually when I start my laptop it would show the Hewlett-Packard BIOS Help screen immediately, but during that first morning when things went awry, it delays about 10-15 whole seconds before showing the HP screen.
SO, my question is... does it seem like my laptop had a hardware failure? Or do you think my MBR was seriously 'harmed' somehow? I can't access any log files seeing as I can't TYPE anything on that laptop. So, I'm kind of screwed when it comes to providing detail. I've had this laptop about 8 months, new w/o box, or so they say.. I may end up getting a new laptop if I can't fix this.

Ok, I guess it was a BIOS and/or motherboard related issue. How I solved this (for future readers of this issue) is by taking out the battery-pack and leaving it out for about 5 minutes, then, right before I put the battery-pack back in, I hold the Power button on my laptop (without the battery in it) for about 30 seconds, then I put the battery-pack into my laptop again and Power it on. The laptop boots quickly and I'm able to use keyboard again to enter BIOs and/or enter my Arch partition using LiLo. This solution was a way of resetting the motherboard.
I'm marking this solved as this solution solved my situation. May not be for everyone. Thanks for your help MadTux. Topic can be closed if needed.

Lock ups in BIOS

Hi I'm using the 7.8 BIOS and accessing the "PC Health" Page in the BIOS locks my system. This happened before and a later BIOS cured it but it's back again (sorry for the vagueness can't remember exactly when). Has anyone else had this issue?
Bugger forgot to update SIG I have a Twinx1024 4000 mem kit @ 200FSb in there aswell

Cheers for the reply Wonkaboy
my first post illustrates the hazards of of inputting your specs into your sig, they will always prove wrong after about a week. I had two drives but I got fed up with the cabling so I bought a combo instead. the cpu heat thing is a good idea though, just replaced the cpu so I might take the heatsink off and recheck all the gunk and that.
oh yeah the cpu fan is direct to the psu

Memory modules not working on HP Touchsmart 600-1050sc desktop - update BIOS ?

Hi
I just bought 2 x 4GB DDR3 PC3 12800 memory modules from Cruical (see http://eu.crucial.com/eur/en/touchsmart-600-1050sc/CT5311446)
The modules does not work on my HP Touchsmart 600-1050 sc desktop. Acc to HP specs it should support 2 x 4GB (max 8 GB in total).
But the computer does not start (I have installed the modules correct). The manufacturer advises me to update my BIOS.
I wanna ask you guys, before I try suhc a thing, is there any chance this could help?
Thanks

You do not need to disable the onboard.
As for the plug-in card, there is nothing in the BIOS to make it work 8x or 16x.
Make sure your card is seated correctly, else it will work but at lower number of lanes.
What program is telling you it's 8x?

Z77A-GD65 Multiple BIOS Issues - B4 Hang, Splash Screen Blinking

Back in November 2012, I built a home server with a Z77A-GD65. Lately, I've noticed some strange things happening that I've been trying to research but to no avail.
First off, I get the B4 code hang-up whenever I'm booting. This doesn't matter if it's a cold boot or a reboot, it hangs on B4 for about 10-15 seconds, flashes 92 really quick, and then goes to A2 which it stays for another 5 or so seconds. After that I get the MSI splash screen for about 1 second, then it blinks 5 times. After that it goes into Windows just fine.
The blinking is a new issue, the B4 hang is not. I've read from multiple posts that this is a USB issue. When I disable USB legacy support, the issue goes away, but of course then I can't have legacy support. I have yet to figure out what exact device is causing it. In the process of trying to figure this out, I updated BIOS to A.A0. After updating to this version of BIOS the splash screen blinks 5 times before going to the "Starting Windows" splash screen. This is a more difficult issue to figure out why it's doing this because if you search for "BIOS" and "flash" or "flashes" or "flashing", you typically get results for flashing your BIOS. Hence, why I'm using the term "blinking". But even then I can't really find a solution out there.
I also happened to see that the website for the Z77A-GD65 is showing a newer BIOS version, but I'm unable to flash this (at least using M-Flash). I threw it on a USB, re-enabled USB legacy and whenever I click on it to install, the BIOS screen hard locks. The screen just freezes exactly where it's at in the BIOS and the mouse is dead. However, I can CTRL+ALT+DEL on the keyboard and it will reboot the system so I don't need to power cycle the computer. Not sure why this is happening either. Perhaps I need to flash this a different way? Maybe I don't need to flash this at all?
I could really use some input here on why this is happening.
As for the specs on my system, they're as follows:
i7-3770K overclocked to 4.2 Ghz by using the Turbo Mode in BIOS
32GB Komputerbay DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz DIMM with Low Profile Blue Heatspreaders Quad Channel RAM | 9-9-9-24 XMP ready
AMD PowerColor 7870 Myst Edition GPU - currently not overclocked although overclocking this doesn't seem to affect any issues
2 - 128 GB Corsair SATA III SSD - one runs the OS, the other I use to load games from
2 - 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM Sata II HDD's mirrored via Windows 7
1 - 750 GB Seagate Barracude 7200 RPM Sata II HDD
1 - 1 TB Western Digital MyBook USB 2.0 external
2 - 3 TB Seagate USB 3.0 external
ASUS DVD Burner - not sure which one, it's a cheapy $20 from Newegg
1 - PCI USB 3.0 expansion card
Antec TruePower New TP-550 Modular 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
NZXT Switch 810 gunmetal - currently have 4 fans running but plan on more, also the Switch 810 has the multi-card reader in the front with 1x SD Card, 2x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0
for peripherals
1 - Microsoft 360 Wireless controller adapter (legit one, not the knockoff although I had a knockoff prior to getting the real deal)
1 - Logitech Wireless USB Keyboard with Touchpad
I tried to be thorough. Thanks in advance for any help!

Probably a USB device problem.
This is a candidate, as well as mouse and keyboard. Disconnect USB devices one at a time to find the culprit.
A lot of devices running. PSU a +12V single rail or is it multi rail? A rail going to the graphics or components may not be enough amps. My best guess is the card reader.
For UEFI/BIOS flashing, select your mainboard here and use the forum flash method;
I'll definitely try unplugging some of these USB devices to see if that helps with the B4 hang issue.
As for the PSU, according to the description for it on Newegg: "Four industry-leading independent +12v rails are provided for more stable and safer power output." It has two rails going to the GPU. The GPU is a new addition to the system and so I wasn't running it until recently. The issues were occurring beforehand, but you're right that this PSU is underpowered for the rig considering PowerColor recommends a minimum of 500w. I'm going to be buying a larger capacity one sometime in the very near future. Any recommendations on good modular PSU's? What's a good way to tell what wattage to get?
Thanks for letting me know about the forum flash method. I'll be back later when I have some results.

Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) - What is new in BIOS 1.9?

Hi,
I have a A300 PSAG8E and I would like to know what news between BIOS 1.7 and 1.9?
The new BIOS can change the fan control? On my A300 it is so loud.
Thank's, regards, cricri975.

Hi!
Have you checked the Toshiba website if there is a change log available?
Normally there you can check if its a change log available or not.
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
If you cant find a change log on the Toshiba website there is no change log available. ;)
Bye

What is new in the Bios aviable for Satellite A100-PSAA9?

i canot found a chanlog :(

Hi Bela
What do you search for? Do you need informations about new BIOS version or what?
At this time you will find a newest version of BIOS on the Toshiba page.
I have checked the site and it seems the 5.10 version was released on 25/01/07 and its OS independent.
Unfortunately, you will not find any information about modification of the new BIOS version.
It seems Toshiba European site doesnt provide such details.
