qlogic qla2312f-v2 (hp oem?)

qlogic qla2312f-v2 (hp oem?)

[Sander van Beek - Elexis]

Hi all,

I recently got two qla2312f-v2 cards from ebay. These are dual 2gbit 
fibre channel hba's for a pci-x bus. The qlogic site says this type 
is a HP OEM card and it is not sold directly by qlogic.
I tried to get them working on a slackware 10.2 system with the 
latest stable 2.6 kernel. However, the qla2xxx driver does not see 
the card. My dmesg only shows this line:

Jun  9 11:09:27 clust1 kernel: QLogic Fibre Channel HBA Driver

This is how the card shows up in my /proc/pci:

   Bus  2, device   1, function  1:
     Class 0c04: PCI device 1077:8000 (rev 1).
       IRQ 255.
       Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x40000000 [0x403fffff].

Can anyone supply me with some hints what could be wrong, or what I 
should do to get them working?

With best regards,
Sander van Beek

I'd try adding the PCI IDs to the driver and see what happened next.
Something like:

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for your reply.
I've tried this, but the driver still does not seem to recognize the 
card. Any other idea's?

Kind regards,
Sander

I'd suggest you contact QLogic's tech-support:

http://support.qlogic.com/support/report_problem.asp


I'm unaware of any DID of 0x8000:

btw: can you send the output of 'lspci -vvv' on your machine.

Re: qlogic qla2312f-v2 (hp oem?)

[sander]

The FAQ section on the qlogic website says this card is only sold as an
oem product, and that I should contact HP for drivers. However, the driver
packages HP has made available just seem to contain the original qla2xxx
drivers included in the kernel.

Ill post my lspci output somewhere in the next few days, Im not at the
office right now.

Thanks,
Sander

HP's versions of the QLogic driver may of may not be newer than the ones
in kernel.org depending on timing.  They usually have some later bug
fixes found when qualifying HP storage and add features that have not
been accepted by kernel.org, e.g., multi-pathing.  These driver's
however, have only been certified with various versions of RHEL and
SLES, so they may not help you with other distros or if rolling your own
kernel.

Or to say it in plain english they're the crappy old out of tree drivers
not using the proper kernel infrastructure and you should stay away from
them as far as possible.  The only reason to use them is if you have
a HP support contract and claim them liable if they don't work :)
