NAME
     emlxs - Emulex-Sun LightPulse Fibre Channel host bus adapter
     driver

SYNOPSIS
     SUNW,emlxs


DESCRIPTION
     The emlxs host bus adapter driver is a  Sun  Fibre   Channel
     transport   layer-compliant  nexus  driver  for  the  Emulex
     Light-Pulse family of Fibre Channel adapters. These adapters
     support  Fibre  Channel  SCSI and IP Protocols, FC-AL public
     loop profile, point-to-point  fabric  connection  and  Fibre
     Channel service classes two and three.


     The emlxs driver interfaces with the Sun Fibre Channel tran-
     sport  layer  to  support the standard functions provided by
     the SCSA interface.  It  supports  auto  request  sense  and
     tagged  queueing  by  default.  The driver requires that all
     devices have  unique hard addresses in private  loop  confi-
     gurations.  Devices  with conflicting hard addresses are not
     accessible.
