2 LSI40909G-S PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for Sun Solaris
Problem Area (E000708)
Problem Description – Release 5.01 of the Solaris driver does not
provide an automated method to create persistent bindings between
Solaris target IDs and FC target World Wide Names. Rather, the user
must edit the ssd.conf and itmpt.conf files manually.
Suggested Solution – LSI Logic now provides two utilities, “lsiadm” and
“lsiprobe” which, when implemented, replace the manual editing of the
ssd.conf and itmpt.conf files, as documented in version 1.0 of the
LSI40909G-S PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for Sun Solaris User’s
Guide. This erratum covers the installation and use of these two utilities.
Expected Resolution – The next version of the LSI40909G-S PCI to
Fibre Channel Host Adapter for Sun Solaris User’s Guide will contain this
documentation, inserting a new section 3.2.2, as shown below.
3.2.2 Sun SPARC Fusion-MPT
®
Utility Installation
The LSI Logic driver, itmpt, allows the Solaris SPARC operating system
to interface with the FC devices connected to the LSI40909G-S. In order
to preserve a consistent mapping between Solaris target IDs and FC
target devices, the driver maintains a configuration file with entries that
map each Solaris target ID to an FC target World Wide Name. Note that
this is done for all FC target devices, and is in addition to the Root Boot
persistent target ID selection, as described in section 3.1.5 of the
LSI40909G-S PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for Sun Solaris User’s
Guide, Version 1.0.
By default, the itmpt driver does not maintain persistent bindings
between targets and WWNs. However, persistent bindings are
recommended for most RAID controllers such as the LSI Logic
MetaStor
®
data storage disk arrays. To enable persistent bindings, LSI
Logic provides two utilities to configure the driver:
• The lsiadm utility is used to maintain persistent bindings between
targets and WWNs, by automatically adding bindings to, or deleting
bindings from, the /kernel/drv/itmpt.conf file, used by the itmpt
driver.
• The lsiprobe utility automatically adds extended LUN support to, or
deletes extended LUN support from, the /kernel/drv/ssd.conf file,
used by the itmpt driver.

3.2.2.1 Installing the Sun SPARC Fusion-MPT Utilities
These instructions provide details to install the LSI Logic/IntraServer
itmpt driver to an existing Solaris operating system installation. Execute
the pkgadd procedure to add the itmpt utilities to the operating system.
Execute pkgadd from the directory that contains the utility tar bundle.
See Figure 3.5.

3.2.2.2 Using the Sun SPARC Fusion-MPT lsiadm Utility
The lsiadm utility is used to maintain persistent bindings between targets
and WWNs, by automatically adding bindings to, or deleting bindings
from, the /kernel/drv/itmpt.conf file, used by the itmpt driver.
The following options are provided:
lsiadm -p itmpt – This option scans all LSI Logic FC controllers in the
system, and identifies all targets attached to each controller. The utility
returns the targets currently attached to each FC controller. For each
target ID, the target’s World Wide Name is displayed, as well as an
indication of where the target ID persistence is currently maintained
(either in NVRAM, in the Config File, or none defined). See Figure 2.
lsiadm -pa <controller list> – This option adds all the targets identified
during the scan, for a selected FC controller, to the bindings maintained
in the /kernel/drv/itmpt.conf file. See Figure 2. The argument is
either “itmpt”, meaning all controllers, or is a list of individual controllers
such as “itmpt0 itmpt1”.
lsiadm -pd <controller list> – This option deletes all the targets for a
selected FC controller, from the bindings maintained in the
/kernel/drv/itmpt.conf file. The argument is either “itmpt”, meaning
all controllers, or is a list of individual controllers such as “itmpt0 itmpt1”.
Figure 3.6 shows examples of the lsiadm utility operation. The command
to be entered is shown in bold print. Responses received from the
system are in italics.

3.2.2.3 Using the Sun SPARC Fusion-MPT lsiprobe Utility
The lsiprobe utility is used to extend the itmpt driver to support more than
one LUN per target, which is the default for most RAID controllers such
as the LSI Logic Metastor Controller. The utility automatically adds
extended LUN support to, or deletes extended LUN support from, the
/kernel/drv/ssd.conf file, which is used by the itmpt driver.
Figure 3.7 shows examples of the lsiprobe utility operation. The
command to be entered is shown in bold print. Responses received from
the system are in italics.
The following options are provided:
lsiadm -p itmpt
