EMC P/N 300-002-803 manual Initial decompression will provide you with the following

Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the QLogic Driver

The following are example steps to integrate the QLogic driver. Also refer to the README file in the driver package.

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

2.Obtain the qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx1-2dkms.tgz package from the EMC-approved section of the QLogic website as instructed under the “Downloading the QLogic v7.x/v8.x-series driver for the v2.4/v2.6.x kernel” on page 61.

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

[root@l82bi205 extra]# tar zxvf qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2dkms.tar.gz

The initial decompression will provide you with the following:

qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2/ qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2/qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2dkms.noarch.rpm qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2/dkms-2.0.5-1.noarch.rpm qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2/README.dkms

	4.	Install the DKMS RPM:
		cd qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2
		rpm -ivh dkms-2.0.5-1.noarch.rpm
Preparing...		########################################### [100%]
1:dkms		########################################### [100%]
	5.	Install the QLogic driver RPM:
rpm -ivh qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx-2dkms.noarch.rpm
Preparing...		########################################### [100%]
1:qla2xxx		########################################### [100%]

An example of the console output reported by the RPM driver installation is as follows:

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/qla2xxx/v8.xx.xx/source ->/usr/src/qla2xxx-v8.xx.xx

DKMS: add Completed.
