Driver Software for Linux OSs

The Sun StorageTek 4 Gb FC NEM 20-Port HBA is supported by Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 U3 and U4 and Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 Service Pack 3 (SLES9-SP3).

Red Hat Enterprise Linux

The HBA driver distributed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 U3 and U4 supports the NEM. No additional driver updates are required.

Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

The HBA driver distributed with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 Service Pack 3 (SLES9-SP3) has the following known problems:

■The HBA driver does not recognize the NEM device and will prevent it from loading.

■A system panic occurs when the HBA driver is unloaded.

To resolve these problems, update to the Emulex driver version 8.0.16.27 as described in the next section.

▼To Update the Driver

1.Run /sbin/update-pciids.

This command uploads the latest database which contains all supported PCI devices by Linux, including the NEM.
