Solaris sd driver and lpfc

Just a quick question. I recall in years past that if sd.conf was pre-
populated with entries that a boot time delay penalty would occur
which was supposed to be something like 3 seconds per lun for luns
that really weren't available.

My question is does solaris and the sd driver still behave this way?

If the target supports REPORT LUNS will the solaris scsi layer still
probe for every lun listed in sd.conf? I have a host in a test
environment with several hundred luns configured in sd.conf for my
lpfc target bindings. My array supports the REPORT LUNS command. Will
the extra luns listed for an lpfc target in sd.conf cause a boot delay
or is it a wash because all the lun information is retrieved via
REPORT LUNS?

Can anyone please clear this up for me.

Regards,
Vic
