Creating ramdisk ...

The ramdisk for this kernel has been updated.

Uninstallation complete

c. Reboot the host.

6. After the reboot, execute the

lpfc-install script with no options

to install the driver kit:

cd /home/emulex/lpfc_2.6_driver_kit-8.2.0.29-1

./lpfc-install

Upon completion of the lpfc-install script, the Emulex lpfc

driver for the FCoE adapter is loaded and FC disks that are

connected to the systemare accessible.

Note: The system must be rebooted so that the lpfc driver is loaded through

the newly created ramdisk.

Installing the Emulex v8.x-series driver on SLES 9 SP1 hosts

The Emulex v2.10f driver (included by default in the SLES 9 SP1

distribution) is not supported by EMC. EMC requires the use of the

v8.0.16.6_x2 driver when connecting to EMC storage.

Before installing the v8.0.16.6_x2 driver, the existing v2.x series driver

must be uninstalled. The Emulex v8.0.16.6_x2 driver may then be

compiled as a module and configured to load automatically at boot

time. When the installer script is used, it creates a new RAM disk

which includes the new driver.

This section describes the above-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 in “Downloading the Emulex

v8.x-series adapter driver for the v2.6.x kernel” on page 45.
