qlc(7D) Devices qlc(7D)NAMEqlc - ISP2200, ISP2300, and SP212 Family Fibre Channel host bus adapter
driver.
SYNOPSIS
SUNW,qlc
DESCRIPTION
The qlc host bus adapter driver is a Sun Fibre Channel transport
layer-compliant nexus driver for the Qlogic ISP2200, ISP2200A,
ISP2310, ISP2312, and SP212 adapters. These adapters support Fibre
Channel SCSI and IP Protocols, FC-AL public loop profile, point-to-
point fabric connection and Fibre Channel service classes two and
three (see NOTES section below).
The qlc driver interfaces with the Sun Fibre Channel transport layer
to support the standard functions provided by the SCSA interface. It
supports auto request sense and tagged queueing by default. The driver
requires that all devices have unique hard addresses in private loop
configurations. Devices with conflicting hard addresses are not acces‐
sible.

NOTES
SP-212-based host bus adapters (including QLA-210) are supported on
x86 platforms only and are limited to a maximum of 8 targets in fabric
and sixteen targets in local loop topology. FL topology is not sup‐
ported with the SP-212-based host bus adapter.
