List all PCI devices to determine whether your system contains one of these adapters:
# lspci | grep Fibre
80:02.0 Fibre Channel: Emulex Corporation Helios-X LightPulse Fibre Channel Host Adapter (rev 01)
a0:02.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. QLA2312 Fibre Channel Adapter (rev 03)
a0:02.1 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. QLA2312 Fibre Channel Adapter (rev 03)
NOTE: The number of PCI functions displayed for each adapter by lspci is determined by
the number of ports the adapter has. In other words, 2-port adapters have two entries with the
same PCI bus/slot that differ only in function number, as in the previous example.
