Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the QLogic Driver
Enabling the QLogic driver in SLES 8
In order for the driver to be loaded at boot time, the driver must be listed in the /etc/sysconfig/kernel and /etc/modules.conf files and the ramdisk must be updated to reflect the changes.
To enable the driver:
1.Edit /etc/sysconfig/kernel: vi /etc/sysconfig/kernel
a.Add a reference to the QLogic qla2300.o driver in the INITRD_MODULES line:
INITRD_MODULES="scsi_mod sd_mod mptscsih qla2300 reiserfs"
b.Save the changes and quit from vi.
2.Edit /etc/modules.conf: vi /etc/modules.conf
a.Add this entry for each installed QLogic adapter:
alias scsi_hostadapterN qla2300
where N is the sequential value of each QLogic adapter installed in the system, beginning with the number after the last host adapter number entry in the file. (The first host adapter entry begins with zero.)
Ensure that the QLogic adapter entries are listed after the internal
SCSI host adapter entry in both files.
Example:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias scsi_hostadapter sym53c8xx alias scsi_hostadapter1 qla2300 alias scsi_hostadapter2 qla2300 alias eth0 tlan
options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=255 scsi_allow_ghost_devices=1
b. Save the changes and quit from vi.
3.Create a new ramdisk to reflect the changes made:
cd /boot
mkinitrd -k vmlinuz-$1 -i initrd-$1
