Driver for Linux - Installation Section Page 5

Installing the Driver on Unsupported Linux Distributions

The driver kit supports the Linux distributions listed in “Prerequisites” on page 1.

To install the 7.3 driver on an unsupported distribution of Linux:

1. Ensure that the kernel sources are properly installed for the currently running kernel. Refer to

the distribution's documentation for the correct method of installing the kernel sources. Once

installed, the kernel sources should be available from the following directory:

/lib/modules/<kernel version>/build

2. Ensure that an Emulex HBA is installed in the system prior to loading the Emulex driver. Follow

the HBA's installation instructions to properly install the HBA into your system.

3. Visit the Emulex Sourceforge site at http://sourceforge.net/projects/lpfcxxxx/ and download the

latest version of the driver from the "lpfcdriver 7.x (for 2.4)" package.

4. Uncompress the tar file:

tar xzf lpfcdriver-2.4-<driver version>.tar.gz

5. Change to the directory that was unpacked from the tar file:

cd lpfcdriver-2.4-<driver version>

6. Install the driver using the following command:

make install

7. Execute the following command to load the driver. If one or more HBAs are properly installed in

the system and the driver is properly built for the currently running kernel, the driver should load

and attach to the HBA(s), and Fibre Channel devices should be discovered:

modprobe lpfc

8. Add the following line to the /etc/modules.conf file, where 'XX' is a numeric value higher than the

value used for any other 'alias scsi_hostadapter' line in the file:

alias scsi_hostadapterXX lpfc

9. If your system uses a ramdisk image, proceed with the following two steps:

a. Rebuild the ramdisk image so that the lpfc driver loads from the ramdisk at boot time.

Refer to your distribution's documentation for the correct method of rebuilding a ramdisk

image.

b. If your system uses a boot loader such as LILO that requires the boot loader to be

refreshed when a ramdisk image is rebuilt, then refresh your boot loader. Refer to the

boot loader's documentation for the correct method of refreshing your boot loader.
