Solution 2134723.1 : How to Determine if a Brocade Fibre Channel HBA is installed on a Solaris server

Applies to:

SPARC T4-2 - Version All Versions and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

Brocade Fibre Channel HBAs are installed using their own bfa driver which is fully
compatible with Solaris SAN Foundation Software. Thus, standard Solaris commands
such as cfgadm, luxadm, fcinfo and mpathadm works. But outputs from some
backline support tools like hbamap and sfkcheck can be confusing.

The goal of this doc is to provide sample output from these commands.

Solution

The HBA hardware:

The path output can be misleading since in most of our KM documents, "fibre-channel" in the path generally refers to a non-Oracle Emulex HBA
