iSCSI in kernel driver versions
93
Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the QLogic Driver
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 qla4xxx
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- 2.6.18-8.el5.img 2.6.18-8.el5
3. Reboot the host.
Enabling the QLogic driver in SLES 9
In order for the driver to be loaded at boot time, the driver must be
listed in the /etc/sysconfig/kernel 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 driver in the
INITRD_MODULES line:
INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs qla4xxx"
b. Save the changes and quit from vi.
2. 2Create a new ramdisk to reflect the changes made:
cd /boot
mkinitrd -k vmlinuz-
$1
-i initrd-
$1
where $1 is the v2.6.x kernel version currently running.
Example:
cd /boot
mkinitrd -k vmlinuz- 2.6.5-7.244-smp -i initrd- 2.6.5-7.244-smp
