EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex FC HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Installation Steps
Prerequisites for first-time installation
In order to complete a first-time installation of the Emulex adapter in
your server, you will need the following:
◆ “Operating system” on page 20
◆ “HBAnyware and hbacmd utilities” on page 20
◆ “BIOS and firmware” on page 20
◆ “Linux driver” on page 21
Operating system Before the Emulex adapter is installed, the Linux operating system
must be installed and properly configured. Install the Linux kernel
from the distribution installation CD by following the procedure
provided in the distribution installation guide. Partition the boot
drive, and select the packages and services necessary for the host.
IMPORTANT
!
Include the kernel source/development package and the gcc
compiler tools during the installation. If these tools are not
installed, then the out-of-kernel driver installation may fail and the
driver will not be installed.
HBAnyware and
hbacmd utilities
Emulex's HBAnyware program is a GUI-based utility. The hbacmd is
a text-based utility. Both applications may be installed on any Linux
system and used to manage, configure, and update the
EMC-approved Emulex HBAs. The examples contained within this
document use the hbacmd utility.
The EMC-qualified versions of HBAnyware and the hbacmd, along
with complete documentation that includes the instructions for the
installation of these utilities, are available for download from the
EMC-approved section of the Emulex website at
http://www.emulex.com/emc/support/index.jsp.
Follow the links to your adapter for the appropriate version.
BIOS and firmware The version of BIOS and firmware (adapter firmware for your HBA
or CNA, and CEE/Menlo firmware for your CNA) per the EMC
Support Matrix for your supported configuration.
These are available for download from the EMC-approved section of
the Emulex website at
http://www.emulex.com/emc/support/index.jsp.
