One thing I wondered though, should this be using the qlc driver?  The card seems to work, but I'm seeing it listed as:

I think we need more information to be able to help.
Have you enabled mpxio?  Have a look at the stmsboot command.

What kind of Qlogic card do you have. Oem or original Qlogic, and model.
In "old" Sun days you could buy Sun OEM Qlogic cards that used the QLC 
driver or from Qlogic that used the QLA driver.
So search for qla instead of qlc.

What is connected to your FC chain, disks, arrays, taps? Do they show up 
in the OS?

You can use documentation from docs: 
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19082-01/820-3070/index.html
Should still hold for Openindiana.
