EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex FC HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Configuring a Boot Device on an EMC Storage Array
Installing an operating system on a Symmetrix, VNX series, or
CLARiiON
This section includes the following information for installing an
operating system on a Symmetrix, VNX series, or CLARiiON:
◆ “Installing supported RHEL 2.1 and 3.0 releases onto the EMC
storage device with the Emulex v7.x-Series driver,” next
◆ “Installing RHEL 2.1 and 3.0 onto the EMC storage device with
the Emulex v7.x-Series driver diskette” on page 137
◆ “Installing RHEL 3.0 U4 and U5 onto the EMC storage device
with the Emulex v7.x-Series driver” on page 138
◆ “Installing RHEL 3.0 U6 through RHEL 3.9 onto the EMC storage
device with the Emulex v7.x-Series driver” on page 138
◆ “Installing SLES 8 SP4 for the i386 architecture onto the EMC
storage device with the Emulex v7.x-Series driver diskette” on
page 139
Installing supported RHEL 2.1 and 3.0 releases onto the EMC storage device with
the Emulex v7.x-Series driver
EMC supports specific kernel revisions of both RHEL 2.1 and 3.0
booting from the SAN. Currently, RHEL AS/ES 2.1 v2.4.9-e.49 and
v2.4.9-e.57 and RHEL 3.0 v2.4.21-15.EL through v2.4.21-20.EL are
supported. Please refer to the EMC Support Matrix for the most recent
information.
The kernel versions listed above for RHEL 2.1 and 3.0 do not include
any Emulex driver. Therefore, in order to boot from the SAN, a driver
diskette image must be created for these kernel revisions.
The driver diskette will provide the correct driver and information
necessary for the Red Hat Installer to access the EMC storage array
devices presented over the fabric. The driver diskette installation
method allows devices to be discovered at installation time, for which
the device drivers are not part of the standard distribution.
The process of building a driver diskette for RHEL is described in
detail on several websites. The following website provides details
and supplementary information on the build process:
