Restrictions
1
FC HUB is not supported.
2
Installing OS to the LU which can be identified from one or more path.
Use the LUN security function (*1) of the disk device so that the LUN can be referred
from the system only by one path if your configuration meets this condition.
System
HBA#0
HBA#1
3
When you replace SFP by Hot-swap, be sure that the target path has redundant path
and one or more operational path exist to be switched.
If no redundant path exist to be switched, replace the SFP after shutting down the
server or confirm that the application prgram does not use the target path.
If it is neccesary to replace SFP when it is used as a boot path and no redundant
path exist to be switched, you must shutdown the server and replace the SFP.
4
The PCI passthrough function in KVM is not supported.
Please do not set intel_iommu or amd_iommu to kernel start optional in "grub.conf".
5
In the configuration which linked the adapter port and the disk device directly in
connection type "loop", although the logs of ErrNo:0x15 which indicates Link Up
interruption and the ErrNo:0x14 which indicates Link Down interruption at the time of
OS booting are output, and the event log of ErrNo:0x0e may be further output to
syslog, it does not affect on the driver operation.
6
The ErrNo:0x16 logs may be recorded in the syslog, when the adapter (except 16Gbps)
is connected to Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G200, G400, G600 or G800. However,
there is no influence of this phenomenon on using the adapter except recording
ErrorNo:0x16 logs in the syslog. ErrorNo:0x16 log is information level.
This phenomenon may occur at the following cases.
-
While booting the OS.
-
After hot-swapping the adapter
-
After linking up between the adapter port and the connecting device (FC-Switch or
disk device).
-
After linking up between the FC-Switch and the disk device.
-
After recovering from hardware failure of the adapter.
