Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the QLogic Driver

In the /etc/modprobe.conf file, the hostadapter line for the qla4xxx driver will be appended.

Note: The Unisphere/Navisphere Host Agent requires that the disconnected

LUN 0 be reported.

The DKMS RPM will create the QLogic v5.x-series driver as a module.

Follow these steps to integrate the QLogic driver into RHEL 4.0 hosts:

1.Boot into the qualified and supported kernel onto which the driver will be installed.

2.Obtain the qliscsi-linux-5.00.4-1dkms.tar.gz package from EMC-approved section of the QLogic website as instructed in “Downloading the QLogic v3.x-Series iSCSI driver for the v2.4.x kernel” on page 98.

3.Uncompress and extract the source files from the tar archive:

tar zxvf qliscsi-linux-5.00.04-1dkms.tar.gz

The initial decompression will provide you with the following:

qla4xxx-5.00.04-1dkms/ qla4xxx-5.00.04-1dkms/qla4xxx-5.00.04-1dkms.noarch.rpm qla4xxx-5.00.04-1dkms/README.dkms qla4xxx-5.00.04-1dkms/dkms-2.0.7-1.noarch.rpm

4.Install the DKMS RPM:

cd qliscsi-linux-5.00.04-1dkms rpm -ivh dkms-2.0.7-1.noarch.rpm

Output example:

Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:dkms ########################################### [100%]

5.Install the QLogic driver RPM:

rpm -ivh qla4xxx-v5.00.04-1dkms.noarch.rpm

An example of the modified /etc/modprobe.conf file is as follows:

[root@l82bi114 root] # more /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth0 e1000

alias eth1 e100
