RE: Emulex fibre channel HBA support and SAN connection

[James . Smart]

Based on the "Unknown IOCB command data" message, this appears to be out of date firmware on the adapter. See http://www.emulex.com/ts/indexemu.html.  There are some hints on downloading firmware at the tail end of  http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1130082&forum_id=355154. 

Note: lpfc issues are best posted to the help areas on http://sourceforge.net/projects/lpfcxxxx/

Thanks.
