Solution 2185194.1 : How to Identify FC HBA or PCI Card on ILOM Snapshot from T3/T4/T5 Servers Platform

Applies to:

SPARC T4-1 - Version All Versions and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

In the absence of a explorer, it may be useful to Identify FC HBA or PCI Card model on ILOM Snapshot from T3/T4/T5 Servers Platform

Solution

All the components of a server should be on the file @usr@local@bin@collect_properties.out , available on this path on the ILOM snapshot

server01-lom_XXXXXDYE14_2016-09-15T08-10-52/ilom/@usr@local@bin@collect_properties.out

Example:

/System/PCI_Devices/Add-on/Device_4
Properties:
part_number = SG-XPCIE2FC-QF8-Z
description = Sun StorageTek Dual 8 Gb Fibre Channel PCIe HBA
location = PCIE4 (PCIe Slot 4)
pci_vendor_id = 0x1077
pci_device_id = 0x2532
pci_subvendor_id = 0x1077
pci_subdevice_id = 0x0171

The pci_subdevice_id correspond with the subsystem-id or "Subsys Device ID" or SSID
The pci_subvendor_id correspond with the "Subsys Vendor ID"

Notice. When the properties part_number and description are Not Recognized
that is an indication for a PCI card that is not from Oracle vendor: confirm that by looking at the pci_subdevice_id

Example:

/System/PCI_Devices/Add-on/Device_0
Properties:
part_number = Not Recognized
description = Not Recognized
location = PCIE0 (PCIe Slot 0)
pci_vendor_id = 0x1077
pci_device_id = 0x2532
pci_subvendor_id = 0x1077
pci_subdevice_id = 0x015d <<<----

That value 0x15d is from a non-Oracle card, on this case this is a native Qlogic FC HBA,
see the FC HBA table on this doc:
How to identify Oracle Fibre Channel (FC) HBA and CNA Cards and Their Slot Locations (Doc ID 1282491.1)

On a explorer we can confirm, that subsystem-id from prtpicl is pci_subdevice_id on ILOM,

subsystem-id 0x15d
devfs-path /pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@8/QLGC,qlc@0
driver-name qlc
binding-name pciex1077,2532

subsystem-id 0x15d
devfs-path /pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@8/QLGC,qlc@0,1
driver-name qlc
binding-name pciex1077,2532
