Troubleshooting Connectivity Problems (FC-SW only).

1)
Collect the following logs/outputs:

/kernel/drv/fcaw.conf
/kernel/drv/sd.conf
/var/adm/messages*
showrev p
2)
Check OS patch and HBA Fcode/Driver revision levels as per the latest ESM
http://www.lss.emc.com/opensymm/hostmatrix/support.htm. For HBA revision levels refer to the
Fcode and Driver Revision Levels section 3. (Recommend updating to the latest levels).
3)
Check configuration of /kernel/drv/fcaw.conf and /kernel/drv/sd.conf as per the EMC Symmetrix

Fibre Channel with JNI Tachyon Host Bus Adapters in the Solaris Environment PDF document at
http://www.jni.com.
4)
Confirm link initialisation between the HBA to the Switch. Refer to the Link Initialisation section 6.
5)
Is the HBA logging into the correct FA?

Refer to the World Wide Names section 7 and the Persistent Binding section 9. Refer to the
Symmetrix Fibre Channel Troubleshooting document on how to check this from the Symmetrix.
6)
Is the HBA discovering devices?

Refer to the Persistent Binding section 9, the Device Discovery section 13 and the Hardware
Paths section 14. Refer to the Symmetrix Fibre Channel Troubleshooting document on how to
check the VCMDB for device access. NOTE: LUN values from the Symmetrix are in hexadecimal
while entries in the /kernel/drv/sd.conf are in decimal.
7)
For the description of diagnostic messages, logged by the HBA, refer to the Diagnostic section 17,
the fcaw driver man pages and the /opt/JNIfcaw/diagnostics text file.

Notes.
Fcode is always loaded.

Refer to the EMC Symmetrix Fibre Channel with JNI Tachyon Host Bus Adapters in the Solaris
Environment PDF document and Fcode readme.txt on how to upgrade.
As the prtconf vp command does not collect hardware paths, correlating the fcode revision
levels to HBA instance numbers is not possible.
The prtconf vp | grep fcode command may display fcode revision levels for other adapters.

/etc/path_to_inst contains historical information. (Every device ever seen by the host).
For Solaris 8, command devfsadm -C -c disk can be used to clean up dangling symbolic

fcaw0: LINK DOWN
Link between the HBA and the switch has gone down. Bad cable, HBA, or switch port.
fcaw0: Target 9: Port 011000 (50060482C3A16002:50060482C3A16002) offline.
Target (FA) taken offline as a result of the LINK DOWN.

fcaw0: Target 9: Port 011000 (50060482C3A16002:50060482C3A16002) failed.
As the link has not recovered, after 60 seconds, the HBA will now fail the Target (FA) and report this failure
to the higher driver levels (e.g. PowerPath, DMP, etc). This wait time is based on the failover value in the
/kernel/drv/fcaw.conf file.
WARNING: /sbus@2,0/fcaw@1,0/sd@9,10 (sd855): requeue of command fails (fffffffe)

(50060482C3A16002:50060482C3A16002) online.
Target (FA) taken offline when an RSCN is received from the switch. HBA queries the Name Server to
determine if the Target (FA) is still logged into the Fabric.
Name Server query indicated that the Target (FA) was no longer logged into the Fabric. As this condition has
not changed (via another RSCN), after 60 seconds, the HBA will now fail the Target (FA) and report this
failure to the higher driver levels (e.g. PowerPath, DMP, etc). This wait time is based on the failover value in
the /kernel/drv/fcaw.conf file.
I/O has failed.

HBA has received another RSCN from the switch. On querying the Name Server, the HBA discovers that the
Target (FA) has logged back into the Fabric. Target (FA) will now be brought online after logging back into
the FA.
Notes.
Removing the FA from the HBAs zone will also log similar events.

HBA aborts all open exchanges after logging back into the FA. This event indicates that the aborted I/O has
been re-sent.
Notes.
The following will also cause these events to be logged:

Adding an ISL to the fabric.
Removing an ISL from the fabric.
A faulty ISL link in the fabric causing the ISL to go up and down.
Disconnecting and then reconnecting the FA within the failover time.

Name Server query indicates that 3 non-bound FAs have been discovered. As these FAs are not
persistently bound to a Target, the HBA will ignore these FAs and not log into them. Hence no online
events for these FAs.
Name Server query also indicated that the Target (FA) was no longer zoned to this HBA. As this condition
has not changed (via another RSCN), after 60 seconds, the HBA will now fail the Target (FA) and report this
failure to the higher driver levels (e.g. PowerPath, DMP, etc). This wait time is based on the failover value in
the /kernel/drv/fcaw.conf file.
