Install the Driver

Note

The Emulex 2.01g driver adds several new configuration

parameters and renames a couple of previous parameters.

Do NOT replace the current lpfc.conf with lpfc.conf.c or lpfc.

conf.defs or lpfc.conf from a previous release.

With the 2.01g driver, all configuration parameters are set

in the /etc/lpfc.conf file. There is no lpfc.conf.c or lpfc.conf.

defs file present in the 2.01g release. To reuse the old

configuration, you must backup the previous lpfc.conf.defs,

lpfc.conf and lpfc.conf.c file and merge configuration in

these files to /etc/lpfc.conf file after installing the new driver

and before building the new driver.

If you have a previous version of the driver installed, refer

to the

Updating The Driver from a Previous Version

procedure and the

Removing a Previous Version of the

Driver section before attemping to install version 2.01g.

Note

This driver package contains the necessary tools to build a

driver from source for all supported Linux distributions.

These instructions are intended for users that are

experienced with building and installing drivers from source

into the Linux environment.

Note

The HBAnyware™ and LightPulse™ (lputil) utilities are

bundled and must be installed together. Refer to the "Install

the Utilities" section of the online Configuration manual for

more information.

Note

Driver installation or removal does not save the

configuration files (i.e. lpfc.conf, lpfc.conf.c or lpfc.conf.

defs) from previous installations. If you customized any of

these files, we recommend that you copy them to a another

location so that you have a record of the changes.

For this release, you must build your binary driver from the driver source directory. This directory contains all

the necessary tools to build the Linux driver.

Once you install the source file, there are two ways to use the Emulex Linux driver:

● Build the driver as a module for test environments or those environments with frequent configuration

changes. You can optionally include it in your loader configuration (e.g., lilo) to automatically load the

driver module at startup.

● Build the driver into the kernel which will also autoload at boot time in a production environment.

Note

Emulex recommends building the driver as a module.
