NAME


qlc - ISP2200, ISP2300, and SP212 Family Fibre Channel host bus adapter
driver.

SYNOPSIS


SUNW,qlc


DESCRIPTION


The qlc host bus adapter driver is a Sun Fibre Channel transport layer-
compliant nexus driver for the Qlogic ISP2200, ISP2200A, ISP2310,
ISP2312, and SP212 adapters. These adapters support Fibre Channel SCSI
and IP Protocols, FC-AL public loop profile, point-to-point fabric
connection and Fibre Channel service classes two and three (see NOTES
section below).


The qlc driver interfaces with the Sun Fibre Channel transport layer to
support the standard functions provided by the SCSA interface. It
supports auto request sense and tagged queueing by default. The driver
requires that all devices have unique hard addresses in private loop
configurations. Devices with conflicting hard addresses are not
accessible.

NOTES


SP-212-based host bus adapters (including QLA-210) are supported on x86
platforms only and are limited to a maximum of 8 targets in fabric and
sixteen targets in local loop topology. FL topology is not supported with
the SP-212-based host bus adapter.
