EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex FC HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the Emulex Driver
compiled as a module and configured to load automatically on boot
up. Also, a new RAM disk will be created for the system that includes
the new driver in it.
This section describes the previously mentioned process using the
installer script included in the package.
1. Boot into the qualified and supported kernel onto which the
driver will be installed.
2. Obtain the
lpfc_2.6_driver_kit-8.0.16.6_x2-1.tar.gz from
the Emulex website as instructed under the “Downloading the
Emulex v8.x-series adapter driver for the v2.6.x kernel” on
page 45 section.
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 v8.0.16 driver and will install both the lpfc and the
lpfcdfc drivers
4. Stop all applications using the Emulex driver and then unload the
currently running Emulex v8.0.16 driver in the system as follows:
modprobe –r lpfc
5. Uninstall the Emulex v8.0.16 driver by executing the
lpfc-install script with the –u flag as follows:
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
