Installing an Emulex adapter on a Sun host

This section describes how you install and Emulex adapter and configure the adapter driver for a Sun host.

Note: The Emulex LP9402DC adapter card is a 3.3 volt card only and requires a 3.3 volt PCI slot.

Single- and dual-port, fibre-channel interfaces with an Emulex adapter card support the following public and private loop modes:

  1. Record the IEEE number that is printed on the card. You can use the IEEE number to determine the WWPN.
  2. Shutdown your host system.
  3. Insert the Emulex adapter into an available PCI slot.
  4. Connect the cable to the adapter and to the DS6000™ or switch port that you configured for the host adapter. If you have not configured host adapter ports on your DS6000, see Host configuration through the DS Storage Manager.
  5. Restart the system.
  6. Use the instructions in Downloading and installing a host adapter driver to download and install the Emulex driver for your adapter.
