Name

qlc– ISP2200, ISP2300, and SP212 Family Fibre Channel host bus adapter driver.

Synopsis

SUNW,qlc

Description

The qlc host bus adapter driver is a Sun Fibre Channel transport layer-compliant nexus driver for the Qlogic ISP2200, ISP2200A, ISP2310, ISP2312, and SP212 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 (see NOTES section below).

The qlc driver interfaces with the Sun Fibre Channel transport 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 configurations. Devices with conflicting hard addresses are not accessible.

Notes

SP-212–based host bus adapters (including QLA-210) are supported on x86 platforms only and are limited to a maximum of 8 targets in fabric and sixteen targets in local loop topology. FL topology is not supported with the SP-212–based host bus adapter.
