Emulex fibre channel HBA support and SAN connection

[Alex Deucher <alexdeucher@gmail.com>]

Can someone point me to some documentation on setting up a fibre
channel HBA in linux?  I can't seem to find any useful information.  I
have a Sun 220R running 2.6.12-rc3 with an emulex LP9000 HBA connected
to a Nexsan ATABEAST SAN.  I'm using the HBA driver included with the
2.6.12rc3 kernel.  I cannot find any information about the GPLed
emulex driver as far as configuration goes.  The driver seems to come
up ok, but then I get a series of error codes:

I noticed here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=111383889908554&w=2
that there is a new FC API. Was this merged into rc3 or will this
happen after 2.6.12?  If it's not supported yet in rc3, how does one
go about configuring it?  I'm willing to test any available tools.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  I'll be able to test on SPARC64
right now and on AMD64 in the next few days.

Thanks,

Alex
