NAME
       fp - Sun Fibre Channel port driver

DESCRIPTION
       The  fp	driver	is a Sun fibre channel nexus driver that enables fibre
       channel topology discovery, device  discovery,  fibre  channel  adapter
       port management and other capabilities through well-defined fibre chan‐
       nel adapter driver interfaces.

       The fp driver requires the presence of a fabric name server  in	fabric
       and  public  loop topologies to discover fibre channel devices. In pri‐
       vate loop topologies, the driver discovers devices by performing	 PLOGI
       to  all	valid AL_PAs, provided that devices do not participate in LIRP
       and LILP stages of loop initialization. The fp  driver  also  discovers
       devices in N_Port point-to-point topologies.

CONFIGURATION
       The  fp	driver	is  configured	by defining  properties in the fp.conf
       file. Note that you must reboot the system to have any changes you make
       to  fp.conf  take  effect. The fp driver supports the following proper‐
       ties:

       mpxio-disable

	   Solaris I/O multipathing is enabled or disabled  on	fibre  channel
	   devices  with  the  mpxio-disable  property.	 Specifying mpxio-dis‐
	   able="no" activates	I/O  multipathing,  while  mpxio-disable="yes"
	   disables  the  feature.  Solaris I/O multipathing may be enabled or
	   disabled on a per port basis. Per port settings override the global
	   setting for the specified ports. The following example shows how to
	   disable    multipathing    on    port    0	 whose	  parent    is
	   /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4:

	     name="fp"	  parent="/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4"    port=0
	     mpxio-disable="yes";

       manual_configuration_only

	   Automatic configuration of SCSI devices in the fabric is enabled by
	   default and thus allows all devices discovered in the SAN  zone  to
	   be  enumerated  in the kernel's device tree automatically. The man‐
	   ual_configuration_only property may be configured  to  disable  the
	   default  behavior and force the manual configuration of the devices
	   in the SAN.	Specifying  manual_configuration_only=1	 disables  the
	   automatic configuration of devices.

       pwwn-lun-blacklist

	   Allows  you	to specify target port WWNs and LUN numbers you do not
	   want configured. LUN numbers are  interpreted  as  decimals.	 White
	   spaces and commas (',') can be used in the list of LUN numbers.

		  #
		  # pwwn-lun-blacklist=
		  # "target-port-wwn,lun-list"
		  #
		  # To prevent LUNs 1 and 2 from being configured for target
		  # port 510000f010fd92a1 and target port 510000e012079df1, set:
		  #
		  # pwwn-lun-blacklist=
		  # "510000f010fd92a1,1,2",
		  # "510000e012079df1,1,2";
		  #

NOTES
       In N_Port point-to-point topologies, FCP error recovery does  not  work
       across  events  such  as	 link  bounce/cable  pull. I/O to devices with
       FCP-2/FCP-3 support (for example, FC tape drives) will be disrupted  by
       such events.
