Configuring a Boot Device on an EMC Storage Array

[mod_devel_kit]# make

IMPORT_TREE=/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-32.EL IMPORT_VER=2.4.21-32.EL import

If your kernel version is other than the one mentioned above, please execute the import command with your desired kernel version accordingly.

!IMPORTANT

The IMPORT_TREE variable should be the path to the selected kernel sources to be used and the IMPORT_VER variable is the kernel version without any arch or platform additions. For example, the 2.4.21-32.EL.smp IMPORT_VER variable would be 2.4.21-32.EL.

Obtain and configure the QLA40xx-Series HBA driver sources

1.Create the scsi/ directory (in the mod_devel_kit/ directory created in Step 3 on page page 168).

[mod_devel_kit]# mkdir scsi

2.Copy the EMC-approved QLogic driver package from the EMC page on the QLogic website to the temp/ directory.

This package contains the driver sources, install scripts, and release documents.

3.Under the temp/ directory, untar the QLogic driver installation package and obtain the driver sources.

[temp] #tar -xvzf qliscsi-linux-<driver-version>-install.tgz

[temp] #cd qliscsi-linux-<driver-version>-install

[qliscsi-linux-<driver-version>-install]# rpm -ivh--noscriptsqla4xxx-<driver-version>.noarch.rpm

4.In the mod_devel_kit/scsi directory, copy the QLogic driver source.

[scsi]# cp /usr/src/qlogic/<driver-version>/* .

!IMPORTANT

Place the QLogic driver sources in the scsi directory which you have created inside the mod_devel_kit path. DO NOT place the driver sources in any other directory.
