A–Troubleshooting

Debugging Using Proc Information

Debugging Using Proc Information

The driver /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/<adapter_number> provides debugging information that can help you troubleshoot problems with the driver. The /proc entry provides firsthand information about the current state of the driver.

Table A-8lists the /proc output fields and provides a description of each.

 

Table A-7. Proc Output

 

 

 

Output Field

 

Description

 

 

Boot Code Version

Provides the version of the boot code present on the adapter. A version

 

of 0.00 indicates that the boot code is corrupted or not present, and

 

must be updated to perform a boot from SAN (see “Configuring Boot

 

from SAN” on page 3-12).

 

 

Number of ISP aborts

Provides the number of times the system chip has been reset. Typically,

 

whenever the system NVRAM or Flash is updated, the chip is reset to

 

use the updated information. Otherwise, the chip is reset only if an error

 

occurs. This number thus provides a close approximation of whether the

 

chip has been operating properly.

 

 

Host adapter FC link

Provides the connection state of the specified adapter. Possible values

state

include the following:

 

READY:

Ready to perform I/Os.

 

UPDATE: The topology is being re-discovered.

 

DEAD:

No connection.

 

DOWN:

Intermittent state, link temporarily down.

NPIV Supported

Indicates whether the given adapter node supports NPIV. If yes, the sub-

 

section provides the maximum number of virtual ports supported.

 

 

SCSI Device Informa-

Provides the WWN of the given adapter.

tion

 

 

FC Port Information

Lists all Fibre Channel ports to which the specified adapter is connected.

 

The last entry in this field indicates the login status of the port and

 

whether the port is operating in target or initiator mode.

 

 

SCSI LUN Information

Lists all the LUNs visible to the specified adapter.
