The following example displays the FCoE driver information:
# modinfo -F version qla2xxx

The following example displays the networking driver information:
# modinfo –F version qlgc

3. Observe the adapter Link/Enet Traffic LED and Storage Traffic LED for
indications that the adapter is operating correctly. For specific LED
indications, refer to Appendix A.
Removing Drivers
Uninstalling the QLogic FCoE or networking driver disables the adapter and
terminates communication between the server and connected SAN or LAN
devices.
In a boot-from-SAN configuration, the FCoE driver (qla2xxx) cannot be uninstalled
because the server accesses the operating system image over the SAN through
the adapter. Attempts to remove the FCoE driver could disrupt server access to
the operating system.
To remove the QLogic FCoE driver:
1. Unload the qla2xxx FCoE driver module.
# modprobe -r qla2xxx
2. Remove the qla2xxx driver binary kernel module from the install location.
# cd qla2xxx-src-x.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx-k
#./extras/build.sh remove
To remove the QLogic networking driver:
1. Unload the qlge networking driver module.
#modprobe -r qlge
2. Remove the qlge driver binary kernel module from the install location.
# cd qlge_x.x.x.xx-ddmmyy_xx_x.x.xx
# make uninstall
3. Remove qlge driver entries that were added to the
/etc/sysconfig/kernel file
4. Rebuild the RAMDISK image as described in Step 17 on page 4-17.
