Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the QLogic Driver

Note: QLA2300 manages QLA2310, QLA2340, and QLA2342.

QLA 2322 manages QLE2360 and QLE2362.

QLA2400 manages QLA2460, QLS2462, QLE2460, and QLE2462.

QLA6312 manages QLE220.

2.Whenever /etc/modprobe.conf is modified, a new ramdisk should be created to reflect the changes made. Create a new ramdisk image to include the newly added references to the QLogic adapters:

cd /boot

mkinitrd -v initrd-$1.img $1

where $1 is the v2.6.x kernel version currently running. Example:

mkinitrd -v initrd- 2.6.9-55.ELsmp.img 2.6.9-55.ELsmp

3.Reboot the host.

Enabling the QLogic driver in RHEL 5

To enable this driver:

1.Ensure that the /etc/modprobe.conf file references an entry for each installed QLogic adapter.

For installed QLogic adapter, add an entry: alias scsi_hostadapterN qla2xxx

where N is the sequential value of 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.).

Example:

alias scsi_hostadapter1 qla2xxx

2.Whenever /etc/modprobe.conf/ is modified, a new ramdisk should be created to reflect the changes made. Create a new ramdisk image to include the newly added references to the QLogic adapters:

cd /boot

mkinitrd -v initrd-$1.img $1
