a.Change directory to the location containing the RAMDISK images. For example:

#cd /boot

b.Create a backup copy of the RAMDISK (initrd) image. For example:

#cp initrd-[kernel version].img initrd-[kernel version].img.bak

c.Generate a new RAMDISK image containing the updated QLogic FCoE driver:

#mkinitrd -f initrd-[kernel version].img `uname -r`

NOTE:

Depending on the server hardware, the RAMDISK file name may be different. The command is successful if there is no output.

d. Reboot the server for the new RAMDISK image to take effect:

# shutdown -r now

#cat /etc/bus/pci/drivers/qlge/module/parameters/qlge/qlge_irq_type

#cat /etc/bus/pci/drivers/qlge/module/parameters/qlge/mpi_coredump
