Fibrechannel HAs

[Borja Marcos]

Hello,

I'm trying to use a SAN with FreeBSD and running into problems, not  
sure at all what to blame. Let's see if anyone can shed some light on  
this.

I'm using a Qlogic card, a QL2360, supplied by Dell.

FreeBSD 7.2/amd64 recognizes it, but it claims it's a different model:

Jun 25 17:18:36 host kernel: isp0: <Qlogic ISP 2432 PCI FC-AL Adapter>  
port 0xdc00-0xdcff mem 0xfc4bc000-0xfc4bffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on  
pci10
Jun 25 17:18:36 host kernel: isp0: [ITHREAD]
Jun 25 17:18:36 host kernel: isp0: Polled Mailbox Command (0x8)  
Timeout (100000us)
Jun 25 17:18:36 host kernel: isp0: Board Type 2422, Chip Revision 0x3,  
loaded F/W Revision 4.0.20

I've been using a FC disk array, and seems to work. However, to my  
astonishment, when I have connected this to a HP EVA4400 SAN, via one  
of its FC switches (supposed to be a Brocade) the EVA4400 takes the  
controller I was reaching via FC offline! Quite suprising.

I've checked the switch, and indeed it correctly detects the card's  
WWN attached to the port. But other than that I'm clueless. Of course  
HP says that FreeBSD isn't among the supported systems. Of course I  
say that I'm not very fond of a subsystem that can crash due to a  
misconfigured host, if we accept that the FreeBSD´s driver is to  
blame...

Any ideas? I've activated some debugging flags for the isp adapter,  
I'm using ispfw as well, and this is what I'm seeing:
