Red Hat and SuSE OS Diagnostic Support

Diagnostic support is provided by the Emulex lputil and HBAnyware utilities. They support the following functions:

■List adapters

■Adapter information

■Firmware maintenance

■Reset adapters

To verify the installation, follow the instructions provided in the “View HBA Information using lputil” section of the Emulex Driver manual.

Creating a Linux Boot Disk

Emulex adapters enable you to load and boot the Linux operating system from a SAN-attached drive. You can use either the Emulex driver for Linux provided on your Linux distribution CD or, if you are using a different Linux driver, create a driver disk.

To boot from SAN directly using your distribution CD, follow the directions included with that CD. Refer to the Emulex web site for additional requirements to boot from a SAN.
