uhm...did you check to see which utilities you might need to manage
and configure the FC/SCSI mux?

BTW, The A3308 usermanual (A3308-96011) is available here:

The main FC HBA vendors (except Agilent?) seem to work fine on both x86 and
ia64 (HP ZX1, near cousin to HP PARISC platforms). I would expect them
to work fine on i386/parisc-linux too. I've only had time to play with
Agilent based (tachlite 5100/5166/5200 series) HBAs on parisc.
AFAICT, "FC 4/2 MUX" is only supported under HPUX.
I get the impression one would need to heavily modify an existing
FC driver in order to support the MUX functionality. But I don't
know how the A3308 presents SCSI devices and that will make/break
the support story.
hth,
