3. Create a new RAMDISK (initrd image):
a. Change directory to the location containing the RAMDISK images. For
example:
# cd /boot
b. Create a backup copy of the RAMDISK (initrd) image. For example:
# cp initrd-[kernel version].img initrd-[kernel
version].img.bak
c. Generate a new RAMDISK image containing the updated QLogic
FCoE driver:
# mkinitrd -f initrd-[kernel version].img `uname -r`
d. Reboot the server for the new RAMDISK image to take effect:
# shutdown -r now
4. After a successful reboot, verify that the values for these parameters, has
changed. For example:
# cat /etc/bus/pci/drivers/qlge/module/parameters/qlge/qlge_irq_type
# cat /etc/bus/pci/drivers/qlge/module/parameters/qlge/mpi_coredump
NOTE:
Depending on the server hardware, the RAMDISK file name may
be different. The command is successful if there is no output.
