IOCTL module for RHEL4
The RHEL4 in kernel driver needs the ioctl module to support
SANsurfer. Using out of kernel driver on RHEL4 does not have this
issue. For RHEL4 U3 and RHEL4 U4, the out of kernel ioctl module
needs to installed before you use SANsurfer.
Note: For RHEL4 U5 or above, the ioctl module is hooked up with the OS and
needs to be loaded manually.
The following is an example procedure to install the ioctl on RHEL4
U3 and RHEL4 U4:
1. Download QLogic Linux IOCTL Module from EMC- approved
site on the QLogic website.
2. Enter tar –xvf qioctl-install.tar
