I'm using a qla2342 in an e220r without problems.
As I want to use the qla2300 driver I did have to edit
\etc\driver_aliases. It is well documented on the HP web site, as the
card I'm using is an HP OEM version of the card. A google search should
find the procedure.
Broadly I used prtconf -vp, looked for the fibre channel entries. There
is a line with 'compatible' and the entries there indicate what are the
entries in /etc/driver_aliases that the card will match. I just made an
entry for pci1077,2312
qla2300 "pci1077,2312"
That then attached the qla2300 driver.

[Veritas-bu] Re:Help moving LTO2 drives onto new QLogic 2342 Dual Port
Fiber Cards on a Sun V440 running Solaris 8
Hi Justin -
I learned via trial-and-error in March that just any QLogic card will not
work in a Sun server; you need the Sun QLogic FC card for your server.
