2 LSI40909G-S PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for Sun Solaris
Problem Area (E000703)
Problem Description – Section 3.1.5 in the LSI40909G-S PCI to Fibre
Channel Host Adapter for Sun Solaris User’s Guide, Version 1.0
contained some errant information regarding how firmware version 1.01
operates to map devices into the persistent device table.
Suggested Solution – Section 3.1.5 should be replaced with the new
section 3.1.5 as shown below.
Expected Resolution – The next version of the firmware will reflect the
original intent of mapping devices into the persistent device table, as
described in the current section 3.1.5 of the LSI40909G-S PCI to Fibre
Channel Host Adapter for Sun Solaris User’s Guide, Version 1.0.
3.1.5 Root Boot Support
The LSI Logic Fcode BIOS that resides on the host adapter allows the
system administrator to configure a target device that will become the
Root Boot device. The host adapter keeps this information persistently in
nonvolatile memory. When the Root Boot capability is required by the
system, the LSI Logic Fibre Channel host adapter may need to be
configured to allow the target device to be locked to a persistent unit
number.
The number of devices attached to the host adapter will determine the
need to configure persistent unit number, as follows:
• If only one target device is attached to the LSI Logic host adapter, a
persistent unit number should NOT be configured with the LSI Logic
host adapter.
• If more than one target device is attached to the LSI Logic host
adapter, ONLY ONE of the target devices should be configured as
persistent unit number with the LSI Logic host adapter.
Note: These guidelines must be followed to insure that the Root
Boot feature functions as expected.
The following is an example of the user interaction with the Fcode BIOS,
to select target devices to be mapped in the persistent device table.

All configuration commands are specified from the ok prompt in the
Fcode BIOS. The command to be entered is shown in bold print.
Responses received from the BIOS are in italics.
