Installing onto the boot device with the QLogic HBA v3.x-Series driver

Configuring a Boot Device on an EMC Storage Array
a. To speed up the build process, only build for the architecture
you wish to install. To accomplish this you can go into the
/mod_devel_kit/
<kernel-version>
/configs directory and
rename any of the configs you DO NOT wish to be compiled.
For example for kernel version - 2.4.21-32.EL:
[mod_devel_kit]# cd 2.4.21-32.EL/configs
[configs]# mv kernel-2.4.21-athlon.config old_kernel-2.4.21- athlon.config
[configs]# cd ../../
CAUTION
!
Do NOT rename or delete kernel-*-i386-BOOT.config.
The installer uses this version of the kernel/driver during
installation. For 64bit environments, the ia32e config is
required for installation.
b. For RHEL3, it is recommended that you rename or delete the
kernel-<
kernel version
>.i386.config file. Due to errors
in dependencies with this kernel config file, the make process
may result in failure.
4. Build the driver using the following command:
[mod_devel_kit]# make clean
[mod_devel_kit]# make
(This will build
modules.cpio.gz-
xxxx
files for different
architectures in the
rh
xx
directory. Example: In rhel3 dir for
RedHat EL 3.0 dist)
5. Build the disk image using the following command:
For 32bit:
[mod_devel_kit]# make disk
This builds a
dd.img-xx.gz file for different architectures in the
rh
xx
directory, for example, rhel3 dir for RedHat EL 3.0 dist.
For 64bit:
[mod_devel_kit]# make disk1
This builds a
v1-dd.img.gz file for different architectures in the
rh
xx
directory, for example, rhel3 dir for Red Hat EL 3.0 dist.
