Yes - I had this problem before and we discovered that the QLOGIC card from SUN had microcode on it that was SUN disk specific. We purchased a QLOGIC card from QLOGIC and then were able to load the card and microcode correctly.

Hi everyone

I've been trying to set up TSM backup procedures on a Solaris 8 server trough a SAN. My TSM server is on the same SAN (made up of 2109 F16s). I have a problem setting up the Qlogic HBA supposedly supported by the 3584 to the appropriate F-Code and driver levels, 2.00.01 and 5.06, respectively. The IBMTape driver just can't load on the solaris environ and there are no other scsi tape devices on the system so I just negate ST load to avoid conflicts. Still, I can't get to the appropriate levels on the device the HBA is supposedly a QLOGIC 2200F bought from Sun. I know this is not a TSM problem exactly but I wanted to know if any of you had this problem before and more importantly how to correct it.

Thank you all.
