EMC Host Connectivity with QLogic FC and iSCSI HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the QLogic Driver
In the /etc/modprobe.conf file, the hostadapter line for the
qla4xxx driver will be appended.
Note: The Unisphere/Navisphere Host Agent requires that the disconnected
LUN 0 be reported.
The DKMS RPM will create the QLogic v5.x-series driver as a
module.
Follow these steps to integrate the QLogic driver into RHEL 4.0 hosts:
1. Boot into the qualified and supported kernel onto which the
driver will be installed.
2. Obtain the
qliscsi-linux-5.00.4-1dkms.tar.gz package from
EMC-approved section of the QLogic website as instructed in
“Downloading the QLogic v3.x-Series iSCSI driver for the v2.4.x
kernel” on page 98.
3. Uncompress and extract the source files from the tar archive:
tar zxvf qliscsi-linux-5.00.04-1dkms.tar.gz
The initial decompression will provide you with the following:
qla4xxx-5.00.04-1dkms/
qla4xxx-5.00.04-1dkms/qla4xxx-5.00.04-1dkms.noarch.rpm
qla4xxx-5.00.04-1dkms/README.dkms
qla4xxx-5.00.04-1dkms/dkms-2.0.7-1.noarch.rpm
4. Install the DKMS RPM:
cd qliscsi-linux-5.00.04-1dkms
rpm -ivh dkms-2.0.7-1.noarch.rpm
Output example:
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:dkms ########################################### [100%]
5. Install the QLogic driver RPM:
rpm -ivh qla4xxx-v5.00.04-1dkms.noarch.rpm
An example of the modified /etc/modprobe.conf file is as
follows:
[root@l82bi114 root] # more /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 e1000
alias eth1 e100
