Re: [Users] BFA FC driver no stable on Fedora

Hi I've spent hours to make my Brocade FC card working on Fedora17 or Ovirt Node build. In fact the card are randomly seen by the system, which is really painfull. So I've downloaded, compile and installed the latest driver from Brocade, and now when I load the module the card is seen. So I've installed : bfa_util_linux_noioctl-3.2.0.0-0.noarch bfa_driver_linux-3.2.0.0-0.noarch And the module info are : # modinfo bfa filename: /lib/modules/3.3.4-5 .fc17.x86_64/kernel/drivers/scsi/bfa.ko version: 3.2.0.0 author: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. description: Brocade Fibre Channel HBA Driver fcpim ipfc license: GPL srcversion: 5C0FBDF3571ABCA9632B9CA alias: pci:v00001657d00000022sv*sd*bc0Csc04i00* alias: pci:v00001657d00000021sv*sd*bc0Csc04i00* alias: pci:v00001657d00000014sv*sd*bc0Csc04i00* alias: pci:v00001657d00000017sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001657d00000013sv*sd*bc*sc*i* depends: scsi_transport_fc vermagic: 3.3.4-5.fc17.x86_64 SMP mod_unload parm: os_name:OS name of the hba host machine (charp) parm: os_patch:OS patch level of the hba host machine (charp) parm: host_name:Hostname of the hba host machine (charp) parm: num_rports:Max number of rports supported per port (physical/logical), default=1024 (int) parm: num_ioims:Max number of ioim requests, default=2000 (int) parm: num_tios:Max number of fwtio requests, default=0 (int) parm: num_tms:Max number of task im requests, default=128 (int) parm: num_fcxps:Max number of fcxp requests, default=64 (int) parm: num_ufbufs:Max number of unsolicited frame buffers, default=64 (int) parm: reqq_size:Max number of request queue elements, default=256 (int) parm: rspq_size:Max number of response queue elements, default=64 (int) parm: num_sgpgs:Number of scatter/gather pages, default=2048 (int) parm: rport_del_timeout:Rport delete timeout, default=90 secs, Range[>0] (int) parm: bfa_lun_queue_depth:Lun queue depth, default=32, Range[>0] (int) parm: bfa_io_max_sge:Max io scatter/gather elements , default=255 (int) parm: log_level:Driver log level, default=3, Range[Critical:1|Error:2|Warning:3|Info:4] (int) parm: ioc_auto_recover:IOC auto recovery, default=1, Range[off:0|on:1] (int) parm: linkup_delay:Link up delay, default=30 secs for boot port.
