EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex FC HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the Emulex Driver
3. Uncompress and extract the source files from the tar archive:
cd /home/emulex
tar xzvf lpfc_2.6_driver_kit-8.0.16.6_x2-1.tar.gz
The initial uncompression will create a new directory and will
provide you with the following files within the new directory:
lpfc_2.6_driver_kit-8.0.16.6_x2-1/
lpfc_2.6_driver_kit-8.0.16.6_x2-1/lpfc_2.6_ioctl_module-2.0.2-1.noarch.rpm
lpfc_2.6_driver_kit-8.0.16.6_x2-1/lpfcdriver_2.6-8.0.16.6_x2-1.noarch.rpm
lpfc_2.6_driver_kit-8.0.16.6_x2-1/lpfc-install
lpfc_2.6_driver_kit-8.0.16.6_x2-1/README
lpfc_2.6_driver_kit-8.0.16.6_x2-1/elxlpfc
Contained within the newly created directory is the lpfc-install
script. This script may be used to uninstall the existing v2.10f driver
and will install both the lpfc and the lpfcdfc drivers.
4. Stop all applications using the Emulex driver and unload the
currently running Emulex v2.10f driver in the system as follows:
modprobe –r lpfcdd
5. Uninstall the Emulex v2.10f driver by executing the
lpfc-install script with the –u flag:
cd lpfc_2.6_driver_kit-8.0.16.6_x2-1/
./lpfc-install –u
The output from the running the script is as follows:
Emulex LPFC Driver Installer Version 1.30.1.2
Determining distribution type and kernel version ...
Checking for Emulex driver packages ...
Restoring old Emulex drivers...
Configuring /etc/modprobe.conf ...
Configuring /etc/sysconfig/kernel ...
Uninstallation complete.
6. The installer script will install both the lpfc and the lpfcdfc
drivers. No options are needed when executing this script. The
installer script unpacks the source RPMs included in the package
in the
/usr/src/lpfc directory and builds the driver using the
sources for the currently running kernel. The script then modifies
/etc/modprobe.conf and /etc/sysconfig/kernel to
include changes for the v8.x driver. The elxlpfc is an
initialization script for the Application Helper Module (lpfcdfc
driver). The elxlpfc script is also installed so that the lpfcdfc
driver is configured to start and stop during system boot up and
shutdown. Finally, the installer script creates a backup of the
existing RAM disk and creates a new RAM disk.
