Hi there,

I have a sun fire v440 server. Recently, qlogic qla2300 card started to give "invalid nvram" error and i get replaced the card with a new one. But when i connect the new card to system and power up no drivers see and attach the card. neither qla and qlc attach to the hba. What can i do?

Two things here. A reconfigure reboot and cfgadm.

1)
Did you try to create /etc/reconfigure and reboot.

The other way to do this is to go to teh PROM and do a boot -r.

This is so the system recognises new hardware when it boots and I think it modifies the device tree.

2)
You could also try cfgadm and read the man page, (slowly), I had too.
Try
# cfgadm
# cfgadm -c configure c3
because my card was AP_Id c3

Just adding in case its of use.
At one point i was doing this
# cfgadm -lav
# cfgadm -lav -o show_FCP_dev
# kstat -m ssderr
# prtconf -vp
# luxadm probe (to see stuff on the fibre channel.)

Hope that helps.
