Topic
Enhanced ppc64-utils packages that add support for virtual Fibre Channel
devices to the ofpathname script are now available.
Description
ppc64-utils is a collection of utilities for Linux running on 64-bit
PowerPC platforms.
These updated ppc64-utils packages add the following enhancement:
- previously, the ofpathname script was not able to translate logical
device names to Open Firmware device path names for virtual Fibre Channel
devices. With these updated packages, ofpathname now supports virtual Fibre
Channel devices. For more information on ofpathname, refer to the
ofpathname(8) manual page. (BZ#477201)
Users of ppc64-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which add this enhancement.
