Making qla2200 ignore node name of the target device

I have a question regarding qla2200 behaviour on Solaris 8
platform.

By default the qla2200 driver assigns the SCSI target ID
of a device depending on the port name (WWPN) and
node name (WWNN) of the target.

I want to know if there is any way by which qla2200 driver
can be made to assign the SCSI tartget ID depending only on
the port name (WWPN) of the target.

Looks like you only need the port name entries for persistent binding
to work.

What I did was booted with extended logging turned OFF. The driver then
prints the devices each HBA sees. Just do a grep fibre-channel-port-name
from the /var/adm/messages. Then take those lines and put them in the
qla2300.conf file with the target numbers you want. Make sure that the
format you have them in is the same as documented near the top of the
conf file. Between some of the driver versions the info printed in the
messages file has changed. Also I really recommend you upgrade to the
latest driver.
