NAME
     hpfc - Agilent fibre channel host bus adapter

SYNOPSIS
     PCI   pci103c


DESCRIPTION
     The hpfc fibre channel host bus adapter is a SCSA  compliant
     nexus  driver  that  supports all Agilent fibre channel host
     bus  adapters,  including  the  HHBA5100x,  HHBA5101x,   and
     HHBA5121x  models.  Agilent  host  bus  adapters support the
     fibre channel protocol on private fibre  channel  arbitrated
     loops  and  fabrics.  The driver supports up to ten host bus
     adapters, with a maximum of 125  fibre  channel  devices  on
     each host bus adapter. The hpfc driver supports a maximum of
     256 LUNs per target.


     The hpfc driver does not support the BIOS  Int  13  feature,
     which  enables  the  booting  of  an  operating system. As a
     result, you should not install an operating system  on  dev-
     ices attached to the hpfc driver.

CONFIGURATION
     The hpfc driver  attempts  to  configure  itself  using  the
     information in the /kernel/drv/hpfc.conf configuration file.


     By default, the driver supports only LUN 0 for  each  target
     device.   To   add   multiple   LUN   support,   modify  the
     /kernel/drv/sd.conf file.


     Before upgrading the hpfc driver, backup the sd.conf file to
     save  customized  LUN  settings  and  then  use pkgrm(1M) to
     remove the old version of the driver.


     The host bus adapter port is  initialized  to  FL_Port  when
     connected  to  a  fabric switch. To change it to F_Port, add
     the init_as_nport=1 entry to the hpfc.conf file  and  reboot
     the system.


     To conserve system resources, at least one disk  drive  must
     be  attached to the hpfc driver. If no devices are attached,
     the driver will not load.
