Building the bnx2i Driver
The following procedure describes how to build the bnx2i Linux driver from
the Source TAR file.
1. Create a directory and extract the TAR files to the directory by entering
the following command:
tar xvzf bnx2-version.tar.gz
2. Build the driver bnx2.ko as a loadable module for the running kernel by
entering the following command:
cd bnx2i-version/drivermake
3. Test the driver by loading it (first unload the existing driver, if
necessary). Enter the following commands:
rmmod bnx2i
insmod bnx2i.ko
4. Install the driver and man page, by entering the following command:
make install
Note
See the “Installing the Source RPM Package” on page 52 for the
location of the installed driver.
5. Install the user daemon (bnx2id), by entering the following commands:
cd ${DRV_BASE}/driver
make install_usr
The make install_usr command installs the bnx2id binary under /
sbin.
6. To use Broadcom iSCSI, see “Load and Run Necessary iSCSI
Software Components” on page 56 to load the necessary software
components.
