Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the QLogic Driver
#*********************************************************#
# | INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL!! | # |
|
# | QLogic HBA Linux driver installation completed. | # | |
#*********************************************************#
An example of the modified /etc/modules.conf file is as follows:
[root@l82bi114
alias eth1 e100
alias scsi_hostadapter mptbase alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptscsih alias scsi_hostadapter2 qla4010 alias
options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=255 scsi_allow_ghost_devices=1
On SLES 8 hosts, the /etc/sysconfig/kernel file is also modified.
The following is an example of a modified /etc/sysconfig/kernel file:
INITRD_MODULES="cdrom scsi_mod
As specified in the driver installation output, a new ramdisk is created automatically by the QLogic installation script.
If additional changes to the /etc/modules.conf file are required, create a new ramdisk manually:
•For Red Hat, use:
cd /boot
mkinitrd
where $1 is the currently running v2.4.x kernel version. Example:
cd /boot
mkinitrd
•For SuSE, use:
cd /boot
mkinitrd
where $1 is the currently running v2.4.x kernel version. Example:
cd /boot
