Verifying Driver Installation
To verify that the Converged Network Adapter drivers are installed on the VMware
ESX/ESXi 4.0 host server, log in to the service console as root, and then type the
vmkload_mod command, as shown in Figure 5-9. The qlge (networking driver)
and qla2xxx (FCoE driver) entries should show Yes in the last column.

Validating Driver and Firmware Versions
Use the console operating system to identify Converged Network Adapters on a
VMware ESX/ESXi 4.0 system.
To validate the Converged Network Adapter driver and firmware versions:
1. Discover the device using lspci.
2. List the subdirectories by issuing the following command:
# ls /proc/scsi:
If the qla2xxx directory is present, the QLogic FCoE adapter driver is
installed on the VMware ESX/ESXi 4.0 host server.
3. List the QLogic FCoE adapters present on the ESX host server by issuing
the following command:
# ls /proc/scsi/qla2xxx
1 2 3 4 5 6
4. Display additional details for a specific FCoE adapter by issuing the
following command:
# cat /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/<adapter_number>
In this command, <adapter_number> is an adapter number.
