Displaying the QLogic v8.x-series driver parameter information via modinfo

The QLogic v8.x-series driver parameters and their definitions may be viewed by using the modinfo command. This command may be used on any Linux kernel module.

Note: EMC does not support the failover functionality of the QLogic driver.

The modinfo command may be run on the qla2300, qla2xxx_conf, and qla2xxx modules. However, the parameter information is reported only by the qla2xxx module.

An example of the console output displayed when modinfo is run on the qla2300 module is as follows:

[root@l82bi205 ~]# modinfo qla2300 filename:
