Hi all, I am trying to get a Model 112 Sparc Storage Array working with SuSE 7.1 on a E5000. According to a number of other message threads I have read, one element that needs to be addressed in the firmware version of the soc (Fibre Channel interface controller). On my unit the soc interface (501-2069 SBus) has a firmware version of 1.3? This needs to at least 1.52 to work in linux. This is where my problems begin. In reference to a previous thread (http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-sparc/2002-Feb/0114.html) suggests obtaining Sun patch 104708. I have managed to obtain 104708-21 from Sun but this doesn't appear to have the firmware upgrade for the soc interface. It does however have a fireware upgrade for the Sparc Storage Array to take it up to version 3.12. This I managed to apply with the included ssaadm utility. This utility also seems to have the ability to update firmware versions for FC/S and FCAL interfaces. However the utility fails to detect any of these interfaces on the e5000. I'm hoping that the at least a number of readers on this list have successfully negotiated this issue and are able to indicate where to obtain this appropriate firmware and how to apply it. I have a strong suspicion that I have the appropriate firmware identified as "fc_s_fcode" which is located in the /usr/lib/firmware/fc_s/ directory on fresh install of Solaris 8. I have however no way of confirming this. How many others have experience this situation?
