[OpenIndiana-discuss] Sharing zfs volume on QLogic QLE4062C

[Jonathan Adams]

Hmm ... I've only played with ISCSI on ZFS (after my boss was playing
with sol10 and it messed up) ...

there is a thread here:
http://www.unix.com/solaris/83852-solaris-10-fcinfo-hba-port-shows-adapter-not-found.html

it talks about adapters having the QLogic firmware not appearing in
"fcinfo" ... and about updating to the Sun drivers ...

not sure if that helps at all ...
