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
The following are example steps to integrate the QLogic driver. Also
refer to the README file in the driver package.
1. Boot into the qualified and supported kernel onto which the
driver will be installed.
2. Obtain the qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx1-2dkms.tgz package from the
EMC-approved section of the QLogic website as instructed under
the “Downloading the QLogic v7.x/v8.x-series driver for the
v2.4/v2.6.x kernel” on page 61.
3. Uncompress and extract the source files from the tar archive:
[root@l82bi205 extra]# tar zxvf qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2dkms.tar.gz
The initial decompression will provide you with the following:
qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2/
qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2/qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2dkms.noarch.rpm
qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2/dkms-2.0.5-1.noarch.rpm
qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2/README.dkms
4. Install the DKMS RPM:
cd qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2
rpm -ivh dkms-2.0.5-1.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:dkms ########################################### [100%]
5. Install the QLogic driver RPM:
rpm -ivh qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2dkms.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:qla2xxx ########################################### [100%]
An example of the console output reported by the RPM driver
installation is as follows:
Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/qla2xxx/v8.xx.xx/source
->/usr/src/qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx
DKMS: add Completed.
Loading/Installing pre-built modules for 2.6.9-5.EL (x86_64).
A new ramdisk will be created automatically by the DKMS RPM
installation.
6. Reboot the host.
