Hello Gurus;

I understand that Sun is now selling OEM Emulex HBAs.

Yes, go over to the Sun web site and follow the links to the store, which will give you model numbers. I use QLogic (mainly) and some Emulex, but I have yet to use Leadville for Emulex. Leadville for QLogic works well.

Does this mean my long wait for Leadville complaint drivers for Emulex HBAs (LP9002, LP9802-DCE is now over?

The above has some signficant implications.

Not sure what you mean by that.

I have not been able to use STMS with Emulex HBAs since their drivers are non Leadville.

If Sun releases the Leadville drivers (Sun SAN 4.4.7?), does this mean I can now do away with Veritas DMP and/or PowerPath? (Both of which I intensly dislike, particularly PP).

Not sure. I use DMP with QLogic HBAs. I'm currently testing QLA2460 (Sun's branded 4Gb) on Solaris 10 U1 x86 with VxVM 4.1 and it works well so far. I have no plans to test Emulex at the moment.

I really like scsi_vhci's single LUN concept.

Has anyone here done a fiber boot with STMS as yet? I understand you are not allowed to run commands like devfsadm -C?

Nope, never have run STMS, and I'm not sure what that is.

How then to clear old links in such a situation?

Warmest Regards
Steven Sim
