Introduction

Use Cases

Note: The concurrent production use of emlxs (Leadville) and lpfc on a given server is not supported. Transient co- existence is required in some migration use cases but must be discontinued before going into production.

Different use cases will drive different migration scenarios:

	Server	Existing lpfc Configuration		Targeted FC Environment	See Section…
	Platform	Existing lpfc Configuration		Targeted FC Environment	See Section…
	Platform


	x64 and x86	Not applicable		All cases	Installing or Updating the
					FCA Utilities Using the
					emlxu_install Script on
					page 5

	SPARC	No Emulex lpfc driver		emlxs (any supported HBA)	Introduction on page 1

		Existing lpfc driver, no FC boot		emlxs (any supported HBA)	Introduction on page 1

		Lpfc to emlxs migration with FC boot			Migrating a Configuration
					with FC Boot on page 166

			Emulex HBAs – not	Supported Emulex HBAs	Migrating Non-emlxs HBAs
			emlxs supported		to emlxs HBAs on page 166

			Emulex HBAs	Sun-branded HBAs	Migrating an lpfc
					Configuration to emlxs –
					Adding Sun-Branded HBAs
					on page 168

The unsupported sample migration scripts include support for migration in Sun Cluster environments.

This revision does not cover migration of a boot drive, or of logical unit numbers (LUNs) accessed through multipathing software such as EMC PowerPath or Veritas DMP, or of volume managers such as Sun SVM or Veritas VxVM.
