10 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to
11 connect large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with
12 and intended to replace SCSI.
14 This is an experimental support for storage arrays connected to your
15 computer using optical fibre cables and the "X3.269-199X Fibre
16 Channel Protocol for SCSI" specification. If you want to use this,
17 you need to say Y here and to "SCSI support" as well as to the
18 drivers for the storage array itself and for the interface adapter
19 such as SOC or SOC+. This subsystem could even serve for IP
20 networking, with some code extensions.

31 Serial Optical Channel is an interface card with one or two Fibre
32 Optic ports, each of which can be connected to a disk array. Note
33 that if you have older firmware in the card, you'll need the
34 microcode from the Solaris driver to make it work.
36 To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will

41 depends on FC4!=n && (SPARC32 || SPARC64)
43 Serial Optical Channel Plus is an interface card with up to two
44 Fibre Optic ports. This card supports FC Arbitrated Loop (usually
45 A5000 or internal FC disks in E[3-6]000 machines through the
46 Interface Board). You'll probably need the microcode from the
47 Solaris driver to make it work.

59 If you never bought a disk array made by Sun, go with N.

66 depends on FC4!=n && SCSI
68 This driver drives FC-AL disks connected through a Fibre Channel
69 card using the drivers/fc4 layer (currently only SOCAL). The most
70 common is either A5000 array or internal disks in E[3-6]000
73 To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will
77 prompt "Generic FC-AL disk driver"
