Section 6
Solaris Driver Installation
(QLA4000)
This section provides instructions for installing the Solaris SPARC driver in an
already installed Solaris SPARC 8 operating system.
The latest version of the Solaris SPARC driver package is available on the QLogic
Web site (www.qlogic.com
). The files in the driver package cannot be read nor
installed from a DOS environment. Be sure to review the README.TXT file for both
new and changed information.
To install the driver from the QLogic web site, see section 6.2. If you are installing
the driver from another media, for example, a floppy disk, transfer the qla4000.Z
file to a temporary directory on the machine where the driver is to be installed, then
continue with step 4 in section 6.2.
6.1
Pre-installation Requirements
Before you install the Solaris driver, uninstall any existing QLA4000 driver using the
pkgrm utility.
Install the Solaris driver before installing the QL40xx HBA.
6.2
Installing the Solaris SPARC Driver from the QLogic Web Site
Perform the following steps to download the Solaris SPARC driver from the web to
your hard disk, then install the driver on your system.
NOTE: To install the QLA4000 driver, you must have superuser privileges.
1. Log on to the system as a superuser.
2. Download the driver package from the QLogic Web site (www.qlogic.com
) to a
directory on the Solaris machine’s hard disk.
3. At the command prompt, change the directory (cd) to the directory where the
file was downloaded.
4. At the command prompt, type:
uncompress ./qla4000.Z
5. Step 4 produces a file in the same directory called qla4000.
6. At the command prompt in the directory where the file was uncompressed, type:
pkgadd -d ./qla4000
