I apologize for not monitoring this forum better and the *very* long delay in a response.
I really don't know. I'm assuming there is no "boot" support configured for the adapter, thus no bios driver is attempting startup (is the xrom even enabled). Even so, the later comparison of when it does vs doesn't work points away from anything system-boot-ish. I'm wondering if it's the...

Whew - have I not been monitoring this help list.....
This comes down to an issue between upstream drivers (which Ubuntu pulls in) vs distro drivers (which only specifically support RHEL and SLES). The distro drivers, where the real support statements for OEMs and Emulex exist, provide extended tool support. the "lpfcdfc" module is an adjunct for the driver that provides the...

It is possible. But as the LP9000 is deemed Legacy (retired) product, we don't have enough justification to spend time and energy on it. As mentioned in an earlier post, if there's volunteers, I can provide information to help guide someone to add it.

Unfortunately, twisted marketing words. Starting with the LP10000 line, they started making enterprise names (ex: lp10002) and midrange names (ex lp1050) - thus the statement applies for all adapter names as of the 10000 line.
The LP9000 family, a very good adapter, is considered Legacy, thus the naming convention doesn't apply and SLI-3 firmware was not developed for it. Sorry.

If an adapter is placed into "target" role w/o the initiator role, which is the default for the new base driver for SCST, the link is held down until the SCST target module binds with the adapter. We do this so that initiators don't start logging in with us until the Target module is there to respond as it should.
There are 2 different firmware/adapter interfaces for Emulex...
