Target driver for Emulex lpfc FC/FCoE adapters
-
-
Target driver for Emulex lpfc FC/FCoE adapters is developed by the Emulex team.
- -The driver allows for lpfc adapters to be placed in initiator and/or target mode. Those in - initiator mode will continue to function with the SCSI subsystem as usual. A lpfc_scst helper - module is then loaded that binds the target mode adapters with the SCST subsystem - for use as FCP targets. NPIV is also supported, allowing virtual ports to be created with - individual SCST target instances bound to them.
- -The lpfc SCST driver kit is part of the lpfcxxxx SourceForge project located at - Emulex Linux Drivers page.
- -You can find version which can compile on RHEL5 platforms - here. Thanks to Chris Worley who supplied it.
- -This driver compatible only with SCST 1.x. To update it for 2.x you should perform the following steps:
- --
-
- Replace on line #1503 "scst_unregister(tgtport->scst_tgt)" on - "scst_unregister_target(tgtport->scst_tgt)" - -
- Replace on line #1570 "tgtport->scst_tgt = scst_register(&scst_data, wwpn)" - on "tgtport->scst_tgt = scst_register_target(&scst_data, wwpn)" - -
- Replace on line #1784 "wwpn, login_handle, tm_session_reg_callback)" on - "wwpn, NULL, login_handle, tm_session_reg_callback)" -
Patch to put this driver in the SCST SVN trunk is welcome!
