The QLogic v5.x-series iSCSI driver can be installed onto a Linux
v2.6.x host using one of the two following methods:
◆ Method One — Use the QLogic DKMS RPM to compile and
install the modular driver for Dell systems running RHEL 4.0 and
attached to EMC storage arrays.
This method requires no manual edits for Dell servers attached to
EMC storage arrays. By installing the QLogic DKMS RPM, the
necessary files will be edited and the driver will be compiled and
installed automatically.
Note: Refer to “Installing the QLogic v5.x-Series iSCSI driver via the
QLogic DKMS RPM, Method one” on page 109.
◆ Method Two — Use the QLogic installation script to compile and
install the modular driver for RHEL 4.0 and SLES 9 systems
attached to EMC storage arrays.
This method requires no manual edits for systems attached to
EMC storage arrays. By installing the QLogic RPM, the necessary
files will be edited and the driver will be compiled and installed
automatically.
Note: Refer to “Installing the QLogic v5.x-Series iSCSI driver via the
QLogic installation script, Method two” on page 111.
Note that prior to installing the QLogic driver, processes holding the
driver open must be stopped so that the currently-loaded driver may
be removed from the running kernel.
