JOEL WROTE: I'm trying to configure a new H80 AIX 4.3.3 host with TSM 4.1.1 using an Emulex LP8000 host bus adapter connected to an STK 9840 fibre channel disk drive. Per the installation instructions in the Quick Start Guidem I loaded the fibre channel pre-req's for the fcrte fileset; but they seem to be for the Emulex LP7000 card. Config manager, cfgmgr, wants the level 8 drivers which I don't believe IBM released. So I loaded the drivers from Emulex. Cfgmgr will configure the devices; but "smit tsm_devices" fails to list or find any fiber channel devices. If you have a working config using the Emulex LP8000 would you mind sharing how you set it up? *************************************************************************** ****************************************'*** If the information i got is correct, LP8000 with EMULEX driver and formware is not supported in AIX 4.3.3, so you have to use LP7000 with IBM firmware, and the driver comes with AIX 4.3.3. Or you have to buy the HBA from IBM (that by the way is and OEM vertion of LP7000) but is sold via IBM. We have installed both LP8000 with AIX 4.2.1 and AIX 4.3.2, but have to use IBM (HBA) on AIX 4.3.3 and then Zone the Switch into an EMULEX and an IBM zone, so that thay don't conflict................... I hope this helps you just a little bit.. Kind regards. Med venlig hilsen Peter Svendsen Alm. Brand Lyngby Hovedgade 4 DK-2800 Lyngby Tlf: +45 4596 7758 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
