October 2007
- Installation Requirements: http://docs.hp.com/en/J6374-90060/ar01s05.html?btnNext=next%A0%BB
- Most of the patches mentioned on the last document have been already superseeded. Current versions are PHKL_35421 PHKL_33372 PHKL_34161 PHKL_34930 PHKL_35925 PHSS_34835. Always check on the ITRC website for latest patch versions.
- NOTE: The latest Fibre-01 bundle for HP-UX 11i v1 (11.11.13) is delivered as a patch of the prior bundle. You need to download and install first bundle 11.11.12 prior to update to 11.11.13 bundle.

Verify the current installed drivers
To verify the driver state of the current drivers use "swlist -l fileset -a state" command.
Example:
swlist -l fileset -a state `swlist -l bundle | grep Fibr | awk '{print $1}'`
# Initializing... # Contacting target "hosts"... # # Target: host:/ # # FibrChanl-00 # FibrChanl-00.FC-TACHYON-TL FibrChanl-00.FC-TACHYON-TL.FC-TL-KRN configured FibrChanl-00.FC-TACHYON-TL.FC-TL-RUN configured # FibrChanl-01 # FibrChanl-01.FC-FCD FibrChanl-01.FC-FCD.FC-FCD-KRN configured FibrChanl-01.FC-FCD.FC-FCD-RUN configured
To verify the current version of fiberchannel drivers, you need to check the software bundle that is installed as well as the version of the drives that is attached to the card. HP provied updated versions of the drivers on the standard patch bundles, and sometimes the version installed on the bundle don't match the current kernel state.
Example:
This is a common example on the Tachyon HP Fibre Channel Tachyon TL/TS/XL2 card, where the software bundle installed is 11.11.09 but the kernel release is 11.11.12.

This is due because the latest HWEnable bundle (December 2006) was installed. A quick look on the kernel (/stand/vmunix) can probe the situation.

Verify the current FC adapter firmware
Always keep your fiber channel cards updated to the latest firmware available. The fiber channel drivers interaction often requires minimum firmware version and many know issues can be prevented installing the latest firmware on the cards.
