NAME

     soc - Serial Optical Controller (SOC) device driver

SYNOPSIS

     soc@sbus-slot,0

DESCRIPTION

     The Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is  an  SBus  card  which
     implements  two  full  duplex Fibre Channel interfaces. Each
     Fibre Channel interface supports a point to point  interface
     to another Fibre Channel device.

     The soc device driver is a  nexus  driver.  The  soc  driver
     implements portions of the FC-2 and FC-4 layers of the Fibre
     Channel.

     Note: The SPARCstorage Array is obsolete. Support  for  this
     device will be removed in a future version of Solaris.

DIAGNOSTICS

     The messages described below are some  that  may  appear  on
     system console, as well as being logged.

     On the console these messages are preceded by

     soc%d: port %a

      where %d is the instance number of the soc  controller  and
     %a is the port on the host adapter.

          Fibre Channel is ONLINE
                The Fibre Channel is now online to the device.

          Fibre Channel is OFFLINE
                The Fibre Channel connection is now offline.

          INCORRECT WWN: Found: xxxx,xxxxxxxx Expected: yyyy,yyyyyyyy
                This  message means that the soc re-logged into a
                device after the Fibre  Channel  connection  went
                offline  and  back online and the World Wide Name
                of the device is  now  different.  This  probably
                means  the  cable  has  been plugged into another
                device.

          attach failed: unable to map eeprom
                Driver was unable to map device memory; check for
                bad   hardware.  Driver did not attach to device,
                devices will be inaccessible.

          attach failed: unable to map XRAM
                Driver was unable to map device memory; check for
                bad   hardware.  Driver did not attach to device,
                devices will be inaccessible.

          attach failed: unable to map registers
                Driver was unable to map device registers;  check
                for bad  hardware.  Driver did not attach to dev-
                ice, devices will be inaccessible.

          attach failed: unable to access status register
                Driver was unable to map device registers;  check
                for bad  hardware.  Driver did not attach to dev-
                ice, devices will be inaccessible.

          attach failed: unable to install interrupt handler
                Driver was not able to add the interrupt  routine
                to  the kernel.  Driver did not attach to device,
                devices will be inaccessible.

          attach failed: could not alloc offline packet structure
                Driver was  unable  to  allocate  space  for  the
                internal  state structure.  Driver did not attach
                to device, devices will be inaccessible.
