Symptoms

This is a Solaris 11.2 SRU 7 server with one Oracle Qlogic 16GB FC HBA (Ganymede) Part Number 7023303

Initially the FC HBA is configured with qlc driver

/devices/pci@8100/pci@4/pci@0/pci@9/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0:devctl CONNECTED
/devices/pci@8100/pci@4/pci@0/pci@9/SUNW,qlc@0,1/fp@0,0:devctl CONNECTED

HBA Port WWN: 2100000e1e125880
        Port Mode: Initiator
        Port ID: 10800
        OS Device Name: /dev/cfg/c13
        Manufacturer: QLogic Corp.
        Model: 7023303
        Firmware Version: 6.06.03
        FCode/BIOS Version: BIOS: 3.19; fcode: 4.02; EFI: 5.36;
        Serial Number: 463916A+1315135431
        Driver Name: qlc
        Driver Version: 20140422-5.01
        Type: N-port
        State: online
        Supported Speeds: 4Gb 8Gb 16Gb
        Current Speed: 16Gb
        Node WWN: 2000000e1e125880

HBA Port WWN: 2100000e1e125881
        Port Mode: Initiator
        Port ID: 11200
        OS Device Name: /dev/cfg/c14
        Manufacturer: QLogic Corp.
        Model: 7023303
        Firmware Version: 6.06.03
        FCode/BIOS Version: BIOS: 3.19; fcode: 4.02; EFI: 5.36;
        Serial Number: 463916A+1315135431
        Driver Name: qlc
        Driver Version: 20140422-5.01

/SYS/PCI2         PCIE SUNW,qlc-pciex1077,2031           QLE8362    8.0GT/x8   8.0GT/x4
                        /pci@8100/pci@4/pci@0/pci@9/SUNW,qlc@0
/SYS/PCI2         PCIE SUNW,qlc-pciex1077,2031           QLE8362    8.0GT/x8   8.0GT/x4
                        /pci@8100/pci@4/pci@0/pci@9/SUNW,qlc@0,1

Above output shows PCI Identifiers Vendor ID 0x1077 and Device ID 0x2031, so this FC HBA is correctly configured in Fibre Channel mode.

To configure it under qlt driver (target mode), we unbind it from qlc driver, that works fine:

root@server01# update_drv -d -i 'pciex1077,2031' qlc
Cannot unload module: qlc
Will be unloaded upon reboot.
root@server01#

But the step to bind this type of FC HBA to the qlt driver gives an error:

root@server01# update_drv -a -i 'pciex1077,2031' qlt
Driver (qlt) not installed.
root@server01#

This is because we need to install this additional package that includes qlt driver:

root@server01# pkg install system/storage/scsi-target-mode-framework

After that update_drv works fine:

root@server01# update_drv -a -i 'pciex1077,2031' qlt
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: qlt
Warning: Driver (qlt) successfully added to system but failed to attach
root@server01#

After reboot, the qlt driver fails to attach to this FC HBA, on the messages files we see:

Mar 3 12:04:03 server01 qlt: [ID 696377 kern.warning] WARNING: qlt(0): unknown devid(2031), failing attach
Mar 3 12:04:03 server01 qlt: [ID 696377 kern.warning] WARNING: qlt(1): unknown devid(2031), failing attach

Cards under qlt driver are not shown by luxadm -e port as expected, and with mdb -k we can see qlt driver is binded to the card, but not attached:

root@server01:~# luxadm -e port
root@server01:~# mdb -k

Cause

Bug 15826690 : SUNBT7196113-11.2 Ganymede Qlogic qlt support

Solution

qlt support for Oracle Qlogic 16GB FC HBA (Ganymede) Part Number 7023303 requires Solaris 11.2 SRU8 or higher.

Solaris 11.2 SRU versions available can be found on this doc:
1672221.1 - Oracle Solaris 11.2 Support Repository Updates (SRU) Index

The FC HBA under qlt driver will look like this:
