Additional Notes

running kernel if they are not in use and if other modules are not dependent upon them.

The v8.x series driver consists of multiple modules. For example, if the command lsmod is invoked on a server with a QLA2340-E-SP adapters installed, the following three modules will be reported:

qla2xxx_conf - The QLogic Linux driver configuration module containing information regarding persistent binding.

qla2xxx - The low level QLogic Linux adapter driver module.

qla2300 - The QLogic Linux adapter firmware loader/personality module for that particular adapter model.

The Linux operating system may panic if any of the following three commands are invoked prior to performing the procedure in the “Unloading and reloading the modular QLogic driver” on page 203 to prepare for removing the driver.

modprobe -r qla2300

modprobe -r qla2xxx_conf

rmmod qla2300
