FUSION-MPT device management user s guide 1-1 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. chapter 1 FUSION-MPT device management product this chapter provides general information about the FUSION-MPT device management technology. this chapter contains the following sections: ? section 1.1, ?usion-mpt firmware, bios, and device drivers ? section 1.2, ?verview ? section 1.3, ?escription 1.1 FUSION-MPT firmware, bios, and device drivers lsi logic provides a common device-level interface for FUSION-MPT compatible devices, which use a single, binary device driver for both scsi and fibre channel (fc) devices. the supported lsi logic devices are the lsi53c1030, lsi53c1020, lsifc929, lsifc919, lsifc909 controllers and their supported host adapters. this set of controllers represents the lsi logic common architecture. this guide documents how to install the FUSION-MPT ?mware, bios, and device drivers. 1-2 FUSION-MPT device management product version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 1.2 overview the FUSION-MPT architecture bases its architecture on industry standard arm processor technology and supports ultra320 scsi and fc protocols. FUSION-MPT architecture encompasses the lsi logic ?mware architecture, the lsi logic scsi and fc hardware architecture, and the operating system device drivers. FUSION-MPT technology supports the intel 32-bit and 64-bit architecture and provides 64-bit pci/pci-x interfaces for high host side performance. FUSION-MPT technology is readily extensible across different physical interfaces, such as scsi and fc, as well as emerging technologies such as in?iband and serial ata. the FUSION-MPT technology provides the highest performance i/o architecture available by encapsulating all the information necessary for i/o controllers to autonomously complete an i/o. additional bene?s include reduced host cpu utilization and a decreased number of host interrupts per i/o to streamline i/o transactions. it also provides host software binary compatibility between the lsi logic fc, ultra320 scsi products, and future interface controller products. description 1-3 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 1.3 description the FUSION-MPT design supports a single binary device driver, intelligent ?mware, and various hardware cores. 1.3.1 single binary device driver FUSION-MPT technology uses a single, binary, operating system device driver to support both fc and scsi. this technology provides common drivers for windows nt 4.0, windows 2000, windows millennium, windows 98, solaris, unixware, open unix, and linux operating systems, thus reducing system integration and certi?ation effort. lsi logic uses the same device driver ?ename ( symmpi.sys )for different windows operating systems. the driver ?es are packaged either in separate subdirectories based on the windows operating system or on different driver diskettes. you can also download current drivers from the lsi logic web site at http://www.lsilogic.com . 1.3.2 FUSION-MPT firmware the FUSION-MPT ?mware presents a multiprotocol service layer. the ?mware isolates the host drivers from the hardware and provides a high-level message passing interface (mpi) to the host drivers. the ?mware manages all phases of an i/o request and optimizes interrupt management for the system. for fc systems, the ?mware also manages all fc-2 through fc-4 services, which minimizes the amount of fc-unique services required with the host driver. 1.3.3 FUSION-MPT hardware the FUSION-MPT hardware encapsulates various technologies that deliver new levels of performance. FUSION-MPT fc products utilize gigablaze transceivers and amba bus architecture. FUSION-MPT scsi products utilize lvdlink transceivers, surelink domain validation, and an ahb bus architecture. furthermore, the FUSION-MPT interface isolates the hardware from the host, making hardware upgrades transparent to the host. 1-4 FUSION-MPT device management product version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. FUSION-MPT device management user s guide 2-1 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. chapter 2 flash and nvdata utilities for scsi devices this chapter explains the ?sh utility and the nvdata utility. this chapter contains the following sections: ? section 2.1, ?lash utility ? section 2.2, ?vdata utility 2.1 flash utility this section provides information about the dos-based lsi logic ?sh utility, which downloads ?mware and bios images to boards using the lsi53c1030 or lsi53c1020. the ?sh utility: ? supports host adapter selection for updating the flash rom. ? provides a means to identify the ?mware or bios image version on the adapter or residing in a ?e. ? provides for complete flash rom erasure. ? provides the means to modify ascii banner information in a bios image prior to downloading to an adapter or for writing back to a ?e. ? supports command line execution. this utility allows the user to update the FUSION-MPT firmware and/or scsi bios. the board must have an on-board flash rom to use this utility. 2-2 flash and nvdata utilities for scsi devices version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 2.1.1 running the flash utility the utility s executable is flsh1030.exe. it requires the dos extender, dos4gw.exe. lsi logic strongly recommends placing both ?es on a dos bootable diskette and running the utility from this diskette. you can run the ?sh utility from a hard drive. however, the hard drive cannot connect with a board that you intend to update, and the dos4gw extender must reside in the same directory as the ?sh utility. to run the ?sh utility: step 1. insert the ?sh utility diskette into the a: drive. step 2. boot the system to the a:\> prompt. step 3. type flsh1030 and press enter. the utility starts and displays its main menu. 2.1.2 menu options the main menu allows the user to select the scsi device that performs the selected tasks. the utility displays two entries for dual channel. only one of the paths must be chosen; the utility re?cts the data to the second scsi channel. the main menu screen appears as: choice vendor id device id bus device ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- 1 0x1000 0x0030 0x3 0x10 lsi logic, inc. lsi53c1030 ultra320 scsi 2 0x1000 0x0030 0x3 0x11 lsi logic, inc. lsi53c1030 ultra320 scsi 3 refresh which pci chip (0 to quit)? flash utility 2-3 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. after you select a chip, the utility displays another menu list: a identify the identify option displays the version number of the ?mware or bios on the selected adapter. if multiple bios images are present, this option returns the version of the FUSION-MPT bios. this option can also provide the version number of the ?mware and bios image ?es. to do so, input the ?ename of the image to check. b download flash the download flash option provides the user with choices for downloading images to the flash rom. downloading of the ?mware and bios images are separate choices and require the corresponding image ?e name as an input. this utility supports FUSION-MPT bios download ?es that contain multiple images concatenated together. to enable a streamlined process when downloading identical ?mware and bios images, you can use a complete image as the input ?e for a ?mware download. this utility enables you to alter the ascii banner string in the bios image. you can do this prior to downloading to the adapter, or you can write the altered image to a ?e. the utility prompts the user for the new banner contents and informs the user of the maximum allowable length. after the banner has been altered in an image, that image cannot be the input for this operation. flash a - identify b - download flash c - upload current flash to a file d - erase flash misc. z - select pci chip q - quit 2-4 flash and nvdata utilities for scsi devices version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. c upload current flash to a file the upload option uploads the flash rom contents and writes them to a user-speci?d ?e. this image contains the ?mware image, bios image, and any unused areas of the flash rom. this utility cannot separate the ?mware and bios images. the image size is 512 kbytes. truncated upload images can result if the destination disk is not large enough to hold the entire upload image. d erase flash the erase option erases the flash rom on the selected adapter. 2.1.3 command line options the ?sh utility supports the following command line options: -/a update all boards this option causes the ?sh utility to update the images on all the boards with the images that the /b or /f options specify. this option causes the utility to ignore the /d option, if it is entered. -/b:?ename download bios image this option causes the ?sh utility to download the bios image given by lename. the ?sh utility ignores this option if the user omits the ?ename. -/c:?ename concatenate bios images this option must precede the /b option. this option causes the ?sh utility to concatenate the image speci?d by lename with the image speci?d by the /b option. the concatenation occurs before the utility downloads the resulting image. the utility ignores this option if the user omits the ?ename. -/d select chip this option enables the user to select the current chip from a menu. the utility uses the selection to process the command line arguments that follow this command. -/e erase flash rom this option causes the flash utility to erase the flash rom. flash utility 2-5 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. -/f:?ename download firmware image this option causes the ?sh utility to download the ?mware image given by lename. the utility ignores this option if the user omits the ?ename. -/m multiple flash images this option indicates that the bios image speci?d by the /b option contains multiple images. this option must precede the /b option. do not use this option in combination with the /c option. -/o:?ename redirect bios image output this option causes the flash utility to redirect the modified bios image to a file. the utility modifies fields in a new bios image to reflect the chip type. if the user specifies the /o and /b options, the utility modifies the image that the /b option specifies for the chip type and then writes the modified image to the file that the /o option specifies. the utility does not download the image to the board. the utility ignores this option if the user omits the filename or enters the /a option. this option must precede the /b option. -/? help this options causes the ?sh utility to display the help screen. 2-6 flash and nvdata utilities for scsi devices version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 2.2 nvdata utility this section describes the nvdata.exe utility, version 1.01.00. the nvdata utility allows the user to test and write default nvdata to the serial eeprom on FUSION-MPT scsi devices. the nvdata utility enables each serial eeprom to support up to four adapters. because dual channel adapters share a single serial eeprom, a dual channel adapter is considered a single adapter for the purposes of the nvdata utility. 2.2.1 command line usage syntax you can use the nvdata utility interactively or with command line options. the command line usage is: nvdata [/?] [/upld] [/conv] [/ci] [filename(s)] a .img ?e is a serial eeprom binary image, which is typically 2 kbytes in length. a .dat ?e is an nvdata ascii text ?e, which is typically greater than 20 kbytes in length. table 2.1 describes the command line options for the nvdata utility. table 2.1 nvdata command line options option description /? this option prints help information. /upld this option uploads the serial eeprom .img ?e from all adapters. /conv this option converts an nvdata data ?e to an ?mg ?e. the nvdata ?e is speci?d as ?ename.dat. the .img ?es is speci?d as ?ename.img. /ci this option concatenates the nvdata image ?e to the ?mware image and creates a new image ?e. you must specify three ?enames after /ci. file1 is the ?mware image ?e. file2 is the nvdata image ?e. file3 is the ?al concatenated image ?e. filename this ?ename speci?s the .img or .dat ?e. if you only specify the ?ename, the utility downloads the .dat or .img ?e to the serial eeprom. nvdata utility 2-7 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 2.2.2 command line examples this section provides examples of command usage. 2.2.2.1 downloading a .dat ?e to the serial eeprom to perform this operation, type: nvdata filename.dat this command causes the nvdata utility to run a pattern test on the serial eeprom that tests its functionality. the utility reads, parses, and converts the input ?e to the correct image format and writes it to the serial eeprom. the utility then saves the serial eeprom image to a ?e named image?.img, where ? is the adapter number and can be either 1, 2, 3, or 4. the command generates a log ?e, log.txt, that indicates whether the update passed or failed. this test uses default data from filename.dat and calculates the necessary sizes, lengths, page versions, bytes, and checksums. you can skip the pattern test by placing /notest in the command line. 2.2.2.2 downloading a .img ?e to the serial eeprom to perform this operation, type: nvdata filename.img this command causes the nvdata utility to read the serial eeprom binary image from filename.img and to write the data to the serial eeprom. this command generates a log ?e, log.txt, that indicates whether the update passed or failed. 2.2.2.3 uploading .img ?e(s) from the serial eeprom to perform this operation, type: nvdata /upld this command causes the nvdata utility to read the serial eeprom binary image from each adapter and to save it to a ?e named image?.img, where ? is the adapter number and can be either 1, 2, 3, or 4. 2-8 flash and nvdata utilities for scsi devices version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 2.2.2.4 converting a .dat ?e to a .img ?e to perform this operation, type: nvdata /conv filename.dat filename.img this command causes the nvdata utility to convert a .dat ?e to a serial eeprom binary .img ?e. the utility uses the default data from filename.dat and calculates the necessary sizes, lengths, page versions, bytes and checksums to create filename.img. 2.2.2.5 concatenating images to perform this operation, type: nvdata /ci file1 file2 file3 this command causes the nvdata utility to concatenate the nvdata image ?e to the ?mware image and then to create a new concatenated image ?e. file1 is the ?mware image ?e. file2 is the nvdata image ?e. file3 is the ?al concatenated image ?e. 2.2.2.6 running in interactive mode this command is for advanced users. the command line usage for this command is: nvdata this command causes the utility to display a list of host bus adapters (hbas) that the nvdata utility found. after you select an adapter, the utility displays a menu of action options. the options are as follows: 1. erase serial eeprom memory (0x..) this option writes 0s to the serial eeprom from the speci?d address to the end of the serial eeprom. 2. serial eeprom memory pattern test (0x..) the option tests the serial eeprom by writing and reading a prede?ed pattern to and from the serial eeprom. 3. serial eeprom memory boundary test (0x..) nvdata utility 2-9 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. this option performs a boundary test on the serial eeprom by reading and writing random data in an incrementing pattern. be aware that this test takes a long time. 4. display raw nvdata this option displays the raw data in the serial eeprom. 5. display formatted manufacturing settings this option displays the autodownload data, pci con?uration data, and option rom offsets. 6. display fw variables this option displays ?mware speci? data. 7. display formatted nvdata header this option displays the formatted master data header. 8. display formatted nvdata page data this option displays menus to select the desired con?uration pages. it then displays the selected con?uration pages. 9. save nvdata to a binary ?e this option saves the current serial eeprom content to a binary ?e. 2.2.3 creating custom input files the .dat ?e is an ascii text ?e that contains the default nvdata information that is stored in the serial eeprom. the .dat ?es follow a de?ed format that coincides with the FUSION-MPT data structures. any deviation from this format causes the nvdata utility to fail. to create a custom input ?e, edit the provided .dat ?e. you can modify the several data ?lds within the .dat ?e. the modi?ble data ?lds are any data ?lds other than: ? checksums ? ioc number ? pageversion ? pagelength ? pagenumber ? pagetype (except for manufacturing pages 0?) 2-10 flash and nvdata utilities for scsi devices version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. ? total bytes of nvdata ? nvdataversion ? mpiversion the nvdata utility calculates these data items. the nvdata utility reads all other data items directly from the .dat ?e. note that you can modify the pagetype ?ld for manufacturing page 0 through manufacturing page 4. the data entry ?lds are in the form: field=data where field is the name of the data structure ?ld and data is the field value. for example: chip_name=?1030?device_id=30 use hexadecimal numbers for numerical data. enclose strings by double quotes. precede comments with a semicolon. note that vpd data is not supported. FUSION-MPT device management user s guide 3-1 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. chapter 3 scsi bios and con?uration utility this chapter presents general information about the FUSION-MPT scsi basic input/output system (bios) and con?uration utility (cu), version 5.02.00, for 32-bit systems. this chapter contains the following sections: ? section 3.1, ?verview and features ? section 3.2, ?nitialization ? section 3.3, ?tarting the scsi bios con?uration utility ? section 3.4, ?sing the scsi cu 3.1 overview and features a scsi bios is the bootable rom code that manages scsi hardware resources. the FUSION-MPT scsi bios integrates with a standard system bios to extend the standard disk service routine that is provided through int13h. during the boot time initialization, the scsi bios determines if the system bios has already installed other hard disks, such as an ide drive. if so, the scsi bios maps any scsi drives it ?ds behind the already-installed drive(s). otherwise, the scsi bios installs drives starting with the system boot drive and the system boots from a drive controlled by the scsi bios. the FUSION-MPT bios supports the bios boot speci?ation (bbs). the FUSION-MPT scsi bios: ? supports the lsi53c1030 and lsi53c1020 ultra320 scsi devices ? supports con?uration of up to 256 adapters ? provides int13 bootrom support for up to four adapters ? supports surelink domain validation 3-2 scsi bios and con?uration utility version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 3.2 initialization this section describes the bbs initialization and cd-rom initialization procedures. 3.2.1 boot initialization with bbs the FUSION-MPT scsi bios provides support for the bbs, which enables selection of the boot device. if the system supports the bbs, use the system bios setup menu to select the boot and drive order. 3.2.2 cd-rom boot initialization the FUSION-MPT scsi bios supports boot initialization from a cd-rom drive. the ?e types of emulation are: ? no emulation disk ? floppy 1.2 mbyte emulation disk ? floppy 1.44 mbyte emulation disk ? floppy 2.88 mbyte emulation disk ? hard disk emulation the type of emulation assigns the drive letter for the cd-rom. for example, if a 1.44 mbyte ?ppy emulation cd is loaded, the cd-rom drive becomes the a: drive and the existing ?ppy becomes drive b:. 3.3 starting the scsi bios con?uration utility the FUSION-MPT scsi bios and cu allow you to change the default con?uration of the scsi host adapters. you can change the default values to resolve con?cts between device settings or to optimize system performance. during boot, the system displays the version number of the scsi bios. if the cu is installed, the system displays the message: press ctrl-c to start lsi logic configuration utility... this message remains on the screen for about 5 seconds. after pressing ctrl-c , the message changes to: using the scsi cu 3-3 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. please wait, invoking lsi logic configuration utility... the system displays the main menu of the FUSION-MPT scsi bios cu. the system might display the following messages during the boot process: ? adapter removed from boot order, parameters will be updated accordingly appears if an adapter is removed from the system or relocated behind a pci bridge. ? configuration data invalid, saving default configuration! appears if the nonvolatile (nvram) information is invalid. ? adapter configuration may have changed, reconfiguration is suggested! appears if less than four adapters are in the boot order and more adapters exist than are shown. pressing ctrl-e or ctrl-a after memory initialization during reboot allows you to re-enable and recon?ure devices. note: the FUSION-MPT bios cannot control all the devices the the cu detects. devices such as tape drives and scanners require a device driver that is speci? to the peripheral. the scsi bios cu allows parameter modi?ation to support these devices. 3.4 using the scsi cu this section describes the scsi bios cu. the options in the scsi cu depend upon which bios and ?mware you have installed. you could have installed either the standard scsi bios and its associated ?mware, or the im-enabled scsi bios and its associated ?mware. all of the scsi bios cu screens follow fixed field areas. the header area provides static information text, which is typically the product title and version. the menu area provides the current menu and uses a cursor for menu item selection. the footer area provides general help information. 3-4 scsi bios and con?uration utility version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 3.4.1 user input table 3.1 summarizes the

FUSION-MPT device management user s guide 4-1 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. chapter 4 scsi efi and con?uration utility this chapter contains information about the lsi logic efi 1.1 FUSION-MPT scsi boot services driver and the associated con?uration utility (cu). this chapter contains the following sections: ? section 4.1, ?ntroduction ? section 4.2, ?eatures ? section 4.3, ?oot services driver ? section 4.4, ?fi con?uration utility ? section 4.5, ?xiting the scsi setup utility 4.1 introduction the extensible firmware interface (efi) FUSION-MPT scsi bios is a native ia64 efi 1.1 boot services driver (bsd) that provides pre-os support for the FUSION-MPT architecture lsi53c1030 and the lsi53c1020 scsi processors. a bsd is a bios for systems based on intel architecture and the efi speci?ation. the bios is delivered as one executable, and contains a bsd and a cu. 4.2 features the efi FUSION-MPT bios: ? supports up to 256 host adapter channels per pci function, with up to 15 targets/channel and 8 luns/target. ? supports media removal and media change for scsi removable media device types. 4-2 scsi efi and con?uration utility version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. ? installs the following efi protocols for each supported host adapter channel: device path scsi pass thru ? installs the following efi protocols for each supported scsi target/lun: device path block i/o ? supports efi 1.1 driver binding and con?uration protocol. ? provides full control of the con?uration settings through the cu. 4.3 boot services driver the FUSION-MPT efi bsd conforms to the efi 1.1 driver model speci?ation. the bsd integrates with efi system ?mware and extends disk services by installing block io (lba) interfaces for supported scsi devices. at load time the driver automatically detects all supported scsi i/o processors and attached scsi devices. the driver then installs block i/o interfaces for the scsi hard drives, removable media devices, cd-roms, write-once, and magneto-opticals (mo) devices. platform ?mware can use the driver services to boot from any supported scsi device. systems normally use the driver services to copy an os loader to boot a system, but can also use the driver services for ?e system i/o at the efi shell. efi con?uration utility 4-3 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 4.3.1 bsd installation use the efi shell load command to load the bsd. from the efi shell change to the ?e system that contains the lsimpt.efi boot services driver ?e. this is the same as switching to the desired drive in a dos prompt environment. type load lsimpt.efi to load the boot services driver. the bsd detects all the FUSION-MPT scsi devices. the bsd then installs the necessary efi protocols. you can also load the lsi logic bsd from an option rom with the lsimpt.rom ?e. load the lsimpt.rom ?e onto the flash rom using the lsi logic efi ?sh utility. if a system supports option rom loading, the system installs the lsi logic driver at boot time. after installation, this form of the bsd functions identically to the .efi form of the bsd. 4.4 efi con?uration utility this section describes the scsi bios efi cu. the efi cu provides viewing and editing of controller parameters. the cu uses the efi 1.1 con?uration protocol, and can be invoked with the drvcfg command. the cu can change the default con?uration of the scsi host adapters. alter the default values if there is a con?ct between device settings or to optimize system performance. one or more of the FUSION-MPT scsi host adapters must have an nvram to store the changes. all the scsi bios cu screens follow xed ?ld areas. the header area provides static information text, which is typically the product title and version. the menu area provides the current menu and uses a cursor for menu item selection. the footer area provides general help information. 4-4 scsi efi and con?uration utility version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. the cu uses several input keys that are not directly supported by all terminal emulation programs. refer to your terminal emulation program documentation to determine which alternate key to use. table 4.1 summarizes the possible user inputs. the cu grays-out the selections that are not permissible. 4.4.1 main menu when invoked, the cu ?st displays the main menu, which contains a scrolling list of up to 256 lsi logic pci to scsi host adapters and information

FUSION-MPT device management user s guide 5-1 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. chapter 5 fibre channel firmware and con?uration utility this chapter provides information about installing and con?uring fibre channel (fc) ?mware and con?uration utility (cu) for standard operating systems. this chapter contains the following sections: ? section 5.1, ?eneral description ? section 5.2, ?c firmware ? section 5.3, ?nstalling the firmware ? section 5.4, ?on?uring the firmware ? section 5.5, ?unning a linux operating system 5.1 general description the lsi logic fc chips and host adapters contain ?mware that presents a multiprotocol service layer based on the FUSION-MPT architecture. the fc ?mware provides fcp (scsi-3 over fc) initiator, fcp target, and lan interface services to the host system. the fc929.rom ?e contains the ?mware that supports the lsifc919 or lsifc929 chips and their related host adapters. 5-2 fibre channel firmware and con?uration utility version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 5.2 fc firmware this section includes the features, description, installation, and con?uration of the fc ?mware. 5.2.1 features the lsi logic fc chips and host adapters: ? support FUSION-MPT, version 1.2 ? support concurrent initiator, target, and lan roles ? act as a multiple initiator ? provide auto negotiation between 1 gbit/s and 2 gbits/s operation ? support auto topology con?uration (ability to con?ure n-port, nl-port, or default auto mode) ? support storage networking industry association (snia) system management firmware interface ? support fc device hot-plug ? support fc tape 5.2.2 description the fc controllers operate in an environment where one or more host drivers serve as the interface layer between the operating system and the FUSION-MPT services provided by the lsi logic fc ?mware. the host driver is responsible for initializing the controller, building request message frames, issuing request message frames to the controller, and processing reply message frames received from the controller. the lsi logic firmware translates FUSION-MPT message frames into fc specific sequences, frames, and primitives that are delivered to the fc transmit and receive physical interfaces. the firmware-based link services library transparently provides all link service support used by the host for all fc topologies. the firmware manages all link exceptions, which isolates the host driver from fc-unique exceptions. the FUSION-MPT architecture enables the use of parallel scsi host drivers with the fc controllers, with little or no modification to the scsi host driver. installing the firmware 5-3 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 5.3 installing the firmware you can use the fc flash cu to update the fc ?mware. 5.3.1 installing the flash con?uration utility the fcutil.exe program runs on dos on intel-based hardware. follow these steps to install the flash cu. step 1. make a directory on your local hard drive by typing: c:\ md fcutil step 2. copy the fcutil.exe into the directory by typing: copy a:\fcutil exe c:\fcutil\*.*/v step 3. for the flash cu to work, you must also type: copy a:\dos4gw.exe c:\fcutil 5.3.2 running the flash con?uration utility use the fcutil.exe program to update the FUSION-MPT ?mware on the fc controllers and/or host adapters. to execute the fcutil.exe program, follow these steps: step 1. type: fcutil the system displays: ?hich chip (0 to quit)? step 2. type the number on the left side of the menu and press enter. the system displays menu options with the world wide port name and world wide node name for each port of the fc device. this menu also displays each port s current topology, each port s current board speed, the current device path setting, and the current ?mware loaded in the flash. step 3. select the download firmware option. 5-4 fibre channel firmware and con?uration utility version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. step 4. enter the name of the ?mware: fc929.rom fc929.rom is the default ?mware ?e name. during the download operation, the controller validates the ?mware image and displays a message while loading the ?mware image. flashing the ?mware takes approximately 45 seconds. step 5. cycle the power. 5.4 con?uring the firmware the lsi logic ?mware supports several con?uration options for the fc host adapters. the FUSION-MPT flash cu provides the ability to con?ure the fc host adapter(s). impor tant. to ensure the con?uration change takes effect, reboot your system before selecting another option. follow these steps to con?ure your host adapter: step 1. type: fcutil the system displays a menu of the detected fc host adapters. step 2. select the host adapter to update. the system displays: ?hich chip (0 to quit)? step 3. type the number on the left side of the menu and press enter. step 4. the following items detail how to con?ure various options. refer to table 5.1 for information about con?uration options. 1. to change the port speeds, use the autonegotiation option. by default, autonegotiation is enabled. if port 0 is set to a 1 gbit/s operation, the menu displays: toggle port 0 board speed to 2 gbit/s toggle port 0 board speed to auto if port 1 is set to 2 gbit operation, the menu displays: toggle port 1 board speed to 1 gbit toggle port 1 board speed to auto con?uring the firmware 5-5 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 2. to change the interrupt coalescing values on port 0 or port 1, use the interrupt coalescing option. the default values are queue depth = 9 and delay time = 500 ms. 3. to change the device path, use the multipathing option. by default, this option is enabled. 4. to change topology, use the autotoplogy option. by default, this option is enabled. 5. to change adapters, use the change adapters option. 6. to exit from this utility, use the quit option. table 5.1 con?uration options for fc adapters option description autonegotiation this option allows the fc chip to automatically adjust to 2 gbits/s or 1 gbit/s operation, depending on the link speed of the other nodes on the link. some older switches or peripherals might prevent this option from working. in those cases, manually set the link speed to either 2 gbits/s or 1 gbit/s. interrupt coalescing this option optimizes system performance by con?uring the number of i/o replies that the controller posts to the host driver per host interrupt. the queue depth speci?s the number of i/o replies that the controller queues before generating a host interrupt. the delay time speci?s the amount of time, in milliseconds, to wait for an interrupt to be generated if the number of posted replies is less than queue depth. multipathing this option recognizes the need to provide a unique logical id for each port of a dual ported target. if a dual ported target is attached to a single channel of the fc chip, enabling the multipathing option creates two logical ids for the single drive, one for each port on the drive. with multipathing disabled, the fc chip recognizes that both ports on the target address the same drive and a single logical id is created for the drive. carefully analyze your system and topology requirements before enabling or disabling this option. autotopology this option allows the fc chip to automatically con?ure itself for private loop, public loop, and direct n-port connections. with autotopology, the chip starts link initialization with a lip. if the lip does not returned to the fc chip, the chip assumes that it is not on a loop and tries to login to an attached switch. if the switch does not respond, the chip assumes it is directly connected to another n-port. change adapters this option allows you to switch between fc host adapters. 5-6 fibre channel firmware and con?uration utility version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 5.5 running a linux operating system this section describes the procedure for updating the FUSION-MPT ?mware while your linux operating system is running. 5.5.1 using the FUSION-MPT flash utility the FUSION-MPT flash utility (mptflash) updates the FUSION-MPT ?mware on FUSION-MPT fc chips and their associated host adapters. this utility uses the mpi fwdownload command to update the ?mware image in ?sh while the current ?mware is running. the ?mware update becomes effective after a subsequent reboot. because the lsifc929 controller is a dual channel device, each channel appears as two separate i/o controllers (iocs) to the system. you only need to perform this update procedure to one of the two visible iocs for each lsifc929. also note that the lsifc919 and lsifc929 controllers must use the same ?mware image ?e. 5.5.2 updating the firmware the following examples show procedures for updating the FUSION-MPT ?mware on a fc controller chip or host adapter in a linux os. step 1. boot your system. step 2. log in as root. step 3. verify that the FUSION-MPT base driver is properly installed by typing: # insmod mptbase the system

can tune the performance of scsi i/o for certain con?urations. the tunable parameters are the large transfer block size support and the guaranteed number of concurrent i/os for a particular scsi bus. 7.4.2.1 large block size support the symmpi.sys drivers can support up to a 1 mbyte transfer size in windows xp; however, the default windows xp transfer size is 64 kbytes. to enable better performance, the driver installation process adds a registry entry to enable 256 kbytes transfer sizes. programmers can also use the mpi_256k.reg ?e to set or re-enable the maximum transfer size. there are two methods to add this registry setting. the ?st method is to locate the mpi_256k.reg data ?e using windows explorer, double-click on the ?e, and edit it. the second method is to type at the command prompt: regedit mpi_256k.reg this command inserts an entry in the registry to enable 256 kbytes block size support. editing the mpi_256k.reg can set any maximum block size between 64 kbytes and 1 mbyte. the formula to calculate the proper value for maximumsglist in a 32-bit os is: maximumsglist = [(maximum block size)/4 kbytes] + 1 for 64-bit systems, the os page size is 8 kbytes instead of 4 kbytes. therefore, the maximum transfer size is 2 mbytes, the default driver installation enables support for 512 kbytes transfer size, and the formula to calculate the maximumsglist is: maximumsglist = ((maximum block size)/8 kbytes) + 1 as an example, to determine the maximumsglist value for 256 kbytes in a 32-bit os, take [(256 kbytes/4 kbytes) +1] = 65 (or 0x41 in hexadecimal). the maximum value allowed for maximumsglist is 255 or 0xff. for the particular value of 0xff, the internal value passed to windows xp is increased to 0x101, allowing support for a full 1 mbyte transfer. 7-10 windows driver installations version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. read the information in the mpi_256k.reg data ?e before editing it. the system must reboot for the new registry setting to be effective. to reset the maximum block size to the default of 64 kbytes, follow the instructions above, except use mpidfblk.reg as the data ?e. 7.4.2.2 maximum number of concurrent i/os (guaranteed) windows xp guarantees a maximum of 32 concurrently active i/os on a particular scsi bus. due to the method of memory allocation, the actual limit of concurrent i/os can vary between various drivers or versions of drivers. this can have a signi?ant impact on performance benchmarking between different driver versions or adapter vendors. in effect, one adapter could support 80 outstanding i/os, while another adapter could only support 32 outstanding i/os. to enable better performance, the driver installation process adds a registry entry to support 128 concurrent i/os. if a different maximum value is desired, programmers can use the mpi100io.reg data file to add a registry entry that set the maximum numbers of concurrent i/os. there are two methods to add this registry setting. one method is to locate the mpi100io.reg data file using windows explorer, double-click on the file, and edit it. the other method is to type at the command prompt: regedit mpi100io.reg this command inserts an entry in the registry to guarantee a maximum of 100 concurrent i/os per adapter. note: setting this value to a high number uses increasing amounts of nonpaged pool memory, which is a critical windows xp resource. high values for this setting can degrade system performance. be sure to read the information in the mpi100io.reg data ?e before editing it. you must reboot system for the new registry setting to take effect. to reset the guaranteed number of concurrent i/os to the windows xp default of 32, follow the instructions above but use

installing the solaris sparc FUSION-MPT driver and includes these topics: ? section 8.1.7, ?ntroduction ? section 8.1.8, ?nstalling the fc host adapters ? section 8.1.9, ?nstalling the solaris sparc driver ? section 8.1.10, ?roubleshooting 8.1.7 introduction the FUSION-MPT driver, itmpt , allows the solaris sparc operating system to interface with the fc lsifc919 and lsifc929 controllers. this FUSION-MPT driver is optimized for low cpu overhead and high i/o throughput, making use of the FUSION-MPT architecture. lsi logic fc host adapters have built-in fcode, designed to operate in the sun openboot environment, allowing fc devices to be available to the openboot (ok) prompt. this driver minimizes cpu utilization through including interrupt coalescing, which can result in less than one interrupt per i/o. to preserve a consistent mapping between solaris target ids and fc target devices, the driver maintains a con?uration ?e with entries that map each solaris target id to an fc target world wide name (wwn). this is done for all fc target devices, and is in addition to the root boot persistent target id selection, which is con?urable through the fcode bios. by default, the itmpt driver does not maintain persistent bindings between targets and wwns. however, lsi logic recommends persistent bindings for most raid controllers, such as the metastor raid product. to con?ure persistent bindings, lsi logic provides the lsiadm utility and the lsiprobe utility to con?ure the driver. to facilitate updates to the adapter in a native solaris environment, lsi logic provides the lsiupdate utility. table 8.1 describes these three utilities. solaris 8 device driver installation 8-15 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 8.1.7.1 features the solaris sparc FUSION-MPT driver supports these features: ?

FUSION-MPT passes setup commands to the mptscsih driver as a string variable by using the insmod command. specify each string argument with the keyword:value format. the command line only permits digits and lowercase characters. the following example installs the driver module, set the bus width to narrow, and disables domain validation. $ insmod mptscsih.o mptscsih="dv:n width:0" domain validation command argument this command argument enables or disables domain validation on scsi device driver. this command does not affect fc devices. the command syntax is: dv:n /* disabled */ dv:y /* enabled [default]*/ to disable domain validation on a per-device basis, set the transfer characteristics in the bios to asynchronous/narrow. domain validation uses an internal buffer. some older scsi devices freeze if they receive a read buffer or a write buffer command. maximum scsi bus width command argument this command argument enables and disables wide scsi bus transfers and does not affect fc devices. the command syntax is: width:0 /* wide scsi disabled */ width:1 /* wide scsi enabled */ 8-46 unix operating system device drivers version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. lsi logic recommends setting the maximum allowed scsi bus data transfer width to the minimum of the adapter capabilities and nvram settings. minimum scsi synchronous factor command argument this command argument sets the minimum scsi synchronous factor for scsi devices and does not affect fc devices. the command syntax is: factor:0x08 /* ultra320 (160 mega-transfers / second) */ factor:0x09 /* ultra160 ( 80 mega-transfers / second) */ factor:0x0a /* ultra2 ( 40 mega-transfers / second) */ factor:0x0c /* ultra ( 20 mega-transfers / second) */ factor:0x19 /* fast ( 10 mega-transfers / second) */ factor:0x32 /* scsi ( 5 mega-transfers / second) */ factor:0xff /* 5 mega-trasfers/s and asynchronous */ lsi logic recommends setting the minimum allowed scsi synchronous factor to the maximum of the adapters capabilities and nvram setting. programming the minimum synchronous factor to 0xff sets the synchronous offset to 0 for asynchronous transfers. 8.4.2.9 con?uring network interfaces both linuxconf and netcfg con?ure the FUSION-MPT lan connection. the following instructions are for using linuxconf, but they are easily adapted to netcfg. step 1. go to con?->networking->client tasks->basic host information. step 2. select an adaptor. step 3. set the con? mode to manual. step 4. set the primary name. step 5. set the ip address. step 6. set the netmask. lsi logic recommends using the default value of 255.255.255.0. step 7. set net device to fc0 for the ?st lan port, fc1 for the second lan port, and so on. step 8. select enabled and type mptlan on the kernel module line to activate this interface automatically at boot. linux device driver installation 8-47 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 8.4.3 debugging and troubleshooting this section describes several debugging tools and issues. 8.4.3.1 scsi isense driver the FUSION-MPT scsi isense driver offers enhanced driver error reporting and improved readability. an optional isense driver/shim provides scsi-3 opcode string lookup and a sorted table of 463 scsi-3 additional sense code and quali?r (asc/ascq) strings. lsi logic translated this table from a text ?e on the scsi t10 ftp site located at ftp://ftp.t10.org/t10/drafts/spc2/asc-num.txt . if the isense driver is loaded, the system displays an english-readable asc/ascq string when the system generates a scsi check condition. for example, the console might display: scsi error report =-=-= (ioc0,scsi5:0) scsi_status=02h (check_condition) original_cdb[]: 2a 00 00 00 00 41 00 00 02 00 - "write(10)" sensedata[12h]: 70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 00 04 02 02 00 00 00 sensekey=2h (not ready); fru=02h asc/ascq=29h/00h "logical unit not ready, initializing cmd. required" 8.4.3.2 /proc support features if the linux kernel offers the /proc ?e system support, you can examine scsi devices by typing: $ cat /proc/scsi/scsi you can examine the recognized FUSION-MPT adapters by typing: $ cat /proc/mpt/summary you can determine the FUSION-MPT driver version by typing: $ cat /proc/mpt/version 8-48 unix operating system device drivers version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 8.4.3.3 visible but not accessible luns in a fc raid system depending on the con?uration of the raid controller(s), some of the scsi devices in a fc raid system are visible but not accessible. if there are two active controllers in a single subsystem and each controller connects to 8 active luns, then all 16 luns are visible through each controller. however, only 8 luns are accessible through each controller. FUSION-MPT device management user s guide 9-1 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. chapter 9 linux integrated mirroring con?uration utility this chapter describes the linux integrated mirroring (im) con?uration utility (cu). this chapter contains the following sections: ? section 9.1, ?ntroduction ? section 9.2, ?ommand line synopsis ? section 9.3, ?rror messages 9.1 introduction the linux integrated mirroring con?uration utility (limcu) con?ures the im function on linux-based, FUSION-MPT scsi controllers. this utility requires no user interaction. the con?uration actions initiated by limcu might not complete before the program exits. but, the con?urations actions do complete, even if the system reboots. im requires raid quali?d drives. a raid quali?d drive is a drive that is not part of an existing im or raid volume, has not been previously con?ured as a raid physical disk, and has a sector size of 512 bytes. the ?a option adds the requirement that the raid quali?d drive must not contain a valid partition table. the erase options ( ?e and ?eall ) erase the partition table. limcu requires the mptctl.o , mptbase.o, and mptscsih.o drivers. use insmod or modprobe to load the mptctl.o driver. lsi logic tested limcu using the red hat 7.2 linux. users must update the FUSION-MPT bundled driver to the mptlinux-2.00.08 version or newer. 9-2 linux integrated mirroring con?uration utility version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 9.2 command line synopsis the command line syntax for limcu is: limcu -a [-c controller_number] [-so volume_settings] [-ss] [-sz volume_size] limcu [-c controller_number] -t target_id,target_id[,target_id] [-so volume_settings] [-ss] [-sz volume_size] limcu -d [-c controller_number] limcu -e [-c controller_number] -t target_id[,target_id[,target_id]] limcu -eall [-c controller_number] limcu [-c controller_number] [-ve | -vd] [-re | -rd] [-so volume_settings] limcu [-c controller_number] [-vi ?endor_id? [-pi ?roduct_id? [-pr ?roduct_revision? \[-vs volume_settings] [-io offset ?s size [-io offset ?s size]] 9.2.1 command line options this section describes the command line options for the limcu command. -a automatically create an im volume limcu automatically selects the targets to use when creating an im volume. this option does not require any other command options. limcu searches controllers in increasing numerical order until identifying a controller that meets the requirements for creating an im volume. these requirements are: (1) the controller must support im, and (2) it must have two or more drives that meet the quali?ations for use in an im volume. limcu chooses targets by their target id. limcu searches for targets based on valid target ids, starting with 0 and ending at 15, and terminates the search after three targets are found. limcu must ?d at least two targets to create an im volume. command line synopsis 9-3 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. -c controller number this option speci?s the controller to which limcu sends all con?uration requests. if this option is not speci?d, limcu selects the ?st controller that satis?s the requirements of the requested con?uration action. this is typically the ?st controller that supports im. the -a option is the only exception. when the -a option is speci?d, limcu chooses the ?st controller that supports two or more im-quali?d drives. -d delete im volume this option deletes an existing im volume and all of the underlying raid physical disks on a controller. the data on the drives is not altered, but the controller now treats the drives as normal drives. because this option deletes all raid volumes and physical disks found on a controller, you can use it to correct corrupted raid con?urations. -dc display FUSION-MPT con?uration pages this option displays the following FUSION-MPT con?ura- tion pages for the selected controller: manufacturing page 4 , ioc page 2, ioc page 3 , raid volume page 0 , and raid physical disk page 0 . limcu displays the last two pages zero or more times, depending on the current controller con?uration. limcu prohibits use of this option with any option that creates a disk volume. -e write zeroes to speci?d disks this option writes zeroes to the ?st 64 sectors of the speci?d disk drive(s) that are attached to a speci? con- troller. the ?t option speci?s a maximum of three disks, or the ?c option speci?s a speci? controller. if neither the ?t or the ?c options are speci?d, limcu writes zeroes to the ?st im-capable controller found. -eall write zeroes to all disks this option writes zeroes to the ?st 64 sectors of all raid volumes or raid quali?d disk drives that are attached to a single controller. the ?c option speci?s the controller, or limcu chooses the ?st im-capable controller found. 9-4 linux integrated mirroring con?uration utility version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. -i read options from standard input this option causes limcu to read command options from standard input until encountering an end-of-?e (eof). limcu parses the command line and standard input options to create the ?al set of command options. the ?v option displays the outcome of this process. command line options take precedence over standard input options. the option syntax does not allow the user to disable standard input options. -io offset_value information offset option this option changes the information offset to the speci?d value. users can specify this option twice. because the ?io and ?is options are pairs, users must specify the ?is and ?io options the same number of times. -is size_value information size option this option changes the information size to the speci?d value. users can specify this option twice. because the ?io and ?is options are pairs, users must specify the ? is and ?io options the same number of times. -nr no reboot option by default, limcu reboots the system after creating or deleting an im volume. this option stops the reboot. -pi ?roduct_id_string change product identi?ation string this option changes the product id string of an im volume. the string can be 0 to 16 characters long. if the user speci?s fewer than 16 characters, the remaining characters become spaces. -pr ?roduct_revision_string change product revision string this option changes the product revision string of an im volume. this string can be 0 to 4 characters long. if the user speci?s fewer than 4 characters, the remaining characters become spaces. -rd disable drive synchronization this option takes the secondary drive off line. command line synopsis 9-5 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. -re enable drive synchronization this option brings the secondary drive on line. the controller resynchronizes the drives. -so volume_settings volume settings override this option creates a volume or changes the volume settings on an existing volume. -ss disable disk synchronization this option disables disk synchronization during creation of an im volume. use this option if the primary disk contains invalid data. -sz maximum_volume_size_in_mbytes limit volume size this option limits the size of the im volume. the parameter for this option is the size of the volume in mbytes and must be a number between 1 and 999,999, inclusively. use this option when creating an im volume. -t target_id_list specify target id(s) this option speci?s up to three scsi target ids for a con?uration action. -v verbose this option prints additional information about the requested actions. -vd volume disable this option disables an im volume. when a volume is disabled, the drives are no longer in sync. -ve volume enable this option enables an im volume and causes the controller to resynchronize the disk volumes. -vi ?endor_id_string vendor identi?ation this option changes the vendor id string of an im volume. this string can be 0 to 8 characters long. if the user speci?s fewer than 8 characters, the remaining characters become spaces. 9-6 linux integrated mirroring con?uration utility version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. -vs volume_settings default volume settings this option changes the default im volume settings. limcu uses the default settings if the user does not specify the ?so option when creating an im volume. 9.2.2 example command usage this section provides examples of limcu command line usage. limcu -a this command line creates an im volume on the ?st im capable controller that connects with two or more available drives. limcu -c 0 -t 0,5,3 this command line creates an im volume on controller number 0, and assigns scsi id 0 to the primary drive, scsi id 5 to the secondary drive, and scsi id 3 to the hot spare drive. limcu -c 4 -t 10,8 this command line creates an im volume on controller number 4, and assigns scsi id 10 to the primary drive and scsi id 8 to the secondary drive. this command line does not create a hot spare drive. the scsi id of the im volume is 8, because the im volume uses the lowest id of the primary and secondary drives. limcu -d this command line deletes all the im volumes and raid physical disk drives on the controller. error messages 9-7 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. 9.3

number format is bad the data size number is either missing or contains invalid character. the drive maximum size value must use the same numerical constant formats in the c programming language (for example, 4, 0xa, or 010). e037: format error encountered while reading options from standard input limcu encountered an error while reading options from standard input. the previous error messages indicate the nature of the problem. e038: error reading from standard input an i/o error occurred while reading standard input. e039: too many characters in the option limcu limits the length of any individual option to 79 characters. check for missing white space characters separating the options. e040: open of mptctl device node failed limcu could not open the device node, which communicates with the driver. limcu tries to create the device node if one does not exist. possible causes for this error are: ? the device node does not exist and limcu cannot create it. ? the driver is not loaded. the mptctl, mptscsih, and mptbase drivers must be loaded. use lsmod to verify this. ? the user does not have the privileges to open the device node. the user must have root privileges to access the driver through the mptctl device node. e041: i/o request failed the ioctl call to the mptctl driver failed. the use of an older version driver usually causes this error. use version 2.00.08 or later of the FUSION-MPT linux driver package. e042: incorrect number of targets for the requested operation the wrong number of targets was speci?d for the requested operation. the auto create volume ( -a ? requires no target ids. the create volume option requires two or three target ids. the delete volume option error messages 9-13 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. requires no target ids. the erase all disks option require no target ids. the erase disk option requires one to three target ids. e043: cannot delete and create volumes at the same time limcu cannot simultaneously delete and create im volumes. to do this, run limcu twice. e044: number of data offsets and sizes does not match for every instance of the -io option limcu requires a matching instance of the -is option. if this is not the case, limcu ?gs an error. e045: cannot enable and disable volumes at the same time limcu cannot simultaneously enable and disable an im volume. to do this, run limcu twice. e046: cannot enable and disable resync at the same time limcu cannot simultaneously enable and disable drive resynchronization. to do this, run limcu twice. e047: cannot disable the volume and resync at the same time limcu cannot simultaneously disable both the volume and resynchronization. disabling the volume also disables resynchronization of the volume. e048: if volume size is speci?d, must create a volume limcu only permits speci?ation of the maximum volume size when creating a volume. entering a maximum size for any other option is of no value. limcu ?gs an error. e049: volume size must be between 0 and 999,999 the maximum volume size number must be between 0 and 999,999, inclusive. these numbers are decimal val- ues. e050: if autocreate volume, no target ids or erase options allowed you cannot specify target ids or erase options when creating a volume with the auto create option. e051: cannot set volume settings and delete the volume at the same time volume settings are used when creating a volume. when deleting a volume, the volume setting has no value. limcu ?gs an error. 9-14 linux integrated mirroring con?uration utility version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. e052: volume settings override number is too large (four hex digits max) the volume setting is too large. re-enter a smaller vol- ume setting. e053: cannot do erase targets and erase all at the same time limcu does not permit simultaneous entry of these options because they cannot be completed simultaneously. the erase targets option erases some but not all disks, while the erase all option erases all disks. e054: if erase target, the user must specify at least one target id the erase targets option erases one to three disks. the user must specify the target disks using the ?t option. e055: if erase all, the user cannot specify any targets the erase all option erases all disks. if the user enters target ids, limcu assumes that the user is either trying to create a volume, which is not allowed when erasing disks, or is confused about which disks to erase. limcu ?gs this as an error, to prevent a potential catastrophe. e056: data offset + size is too large; must be < 256 the data window de?ed by a -io ? -is pair cannot be outside the maximum inquiry buffer size de?ed by the scsi standard. e057: same target id was entered more than once the user entered duplicate target id values. limcu only permits unique target ids. e058: no reboot option format is bad check for extra characters on the end of the -nr option. e059: no reboot option entered more than once limcu permits a single no reset option entry. it is permis- sible to enter the option once on the command line and once in the standard input stream. limcu ?gs a fatal error if the option entry occurs more than once in either case. e060: controller number does not match that of an im controller the controller number provided in the -c option is that of a controller that does not support im. error messages 9-15 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. e061: could not read manufacturing con? page 4 limcu could not read manufacturing con?uration page 4. other messages accompany this error message and pinpoint the reason for the error. e062: manufacturing con? page 4 is not writable/persistent the ioc was not con?ured to allow writing this con?uration page or the values written are not saved across reboots. e063: manufacturing con? page 4 nvram settings write failed an attempt to write new data for manufacturing con?uration page 4 to flash memory failed. a hardware failure typically causes this error. e064: bad raid action code this error is currently not in use. e065: i/o request failed; bad controller status the ioc detected an error when completing a FUSION-MPT request. e066: attempting to operate on a nonexistent volume. limcu cannot locate a volume on the ioc. limcu cannot process options such as: -ve , -vd , -re , or -rd . e067: volume enable failed the volume enable raid action request failed. other error messages printed before this message provide information regarding this

version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. e071: bad im volume con?uration the raid volume type is not im or the con?uration of the physical disks is not correct for an im volume. all operations except delete volume are locked out. e072: error while attempting to override volume settings the volume settings raid action request failed. other error messages printed before this message provide information regarding this failure. e073: volume delete failed the volume delete raid action request failed. other error messages printed before this message provide information regarding this failure. e074: physical disk delete failed the delete raid physical disk raid action request failed. other error messages printed before this message provide information regarding this failure. e075: no controllers were found all attempts by limcu to retrieve ioc information from the driver failed. this may be the result of controller failure. limcu stops scanning for controllers at the ?st failure to retrieve controller information. limcu uses an error to terminate the scan. e076: no im capable controllers were found no controllers were found that support im volumes. check that the controllers are using the proper ?mware. e077: unable to retrieve controller information an error occurred while attempting to retrieve con?uration pages from the ioc. e078: failed to delete all volumes and physical disks after a delete volume request, the ioc con?uration pages indicate that raid volumes or physical disks are still con?ured on the ioc. e079: too few raid quali?d drives for the requested operation not enough quali?d disks were found for an im volume during the execution of an auto create volume request. disks must have 512-byte sectors, be nonremovable, and must not have a valid master boot record (mbr). the error messages 9-17 version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. most likely cause of the error is that the drive has a valid mbr. use the erase disk or erase all options to correct this situation. e080: erase i/o request failed an i/o error occurred while trying to write zeroes to a disk drive. e081: too many raid volumes on the controller the number of de?ed raid volumes on the controller has reached the limit for the controller. the user must delete an existing volume before creating a new one. e082: can? use speci?d drive in a raid volume the drive does not meet one of the following quali?a- tions: (1) 512-byte sectors, (2) nonremovable, (3) no valid master boot record, (4) not part of an existing raid volume, or (5) not an existing raid physical disk. e083: create raid physical disk failed the create raid physical disk raid action request failed. other error messages printed before this message provide information regarding this failure. e084: drive read capacity failed a scsi read capacity command failed. other error messages printed before this message provide information regarding this failure. e085: drive is too small for the raid volume based on a valid partition table found on the primary drive, limcu calculates the minimum drive size. limcu issues a scsi read capacity command to all the disks that are to be included in the volume, and compares the values received to the minimum drive size. the size one of the drives to be included in the im volume or the hot spare is smaller than the minimum disk drive size. e086: display con? pages option format is bad limcu found extraneous characters found at the end of the -dc option. e087: can not create a volume and display con? pages at the same time the user cannot simultaneously specify the create volume and display con?uration pages options. 9-18 linux integrated mirroring con?uration utility version 1.2 copyright 2002 by lsi logic corporation. all rights reserved. e088: skip sync option entered more than once the user entered the skip drive synchronization ( -ss ? option multiple times. e089: skip
