Installation instructions for the Emulex v7.x-Series driver

Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the Emulex Driver

VNX series or CLARiiON storage system as well as allow the SCSI

stack to scan up to 255 devices. The Unisphere/Navisphere Host

Agent requires that the disconnected LUN 0 be reported.

The DKMS RPM will install the Emulex driver as a module.

Note: After the driver installation, the system should be rebooted so that the

lpfc driver may be loaded through the newly created ramdisk.

1. Boot into the qualified and supported kernel into which the

driver will be installed. Ensure that the kernel sources and the gcc

compiler tools are installed.

2. Create a directory to which you will save the tar archive:

mkdir /home/emulex

3. Obtain the lpfc_2.4_dkms_kit-7.1.14-2.tar.gz from the

Emulex website as instructed under “Downloading the Emulex

v7.x-Series HBA driver for the v2.4.x kernel” on page 68.

Install the Emulex driver’s tar archive onto your system with the

following steps:

1. Uncompress and extract the source files from the tar archive:

cd /home/emulex

tar zxvf lpfc_2.4_dkms_kit-7.1.14-2.tar.gz

The initial uncompression will create a new directory and will

provide you with the following files within the new directory:

lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4/

lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4/dkms-2.0.4-1.noarch.rpm

lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4/lpfc_2.4_dkms_kit-7.1.14-2.tar.gz

lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4/lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4

lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4/lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4.tar.gz

lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4/lpfcdfcdkms-1.0.13-2.noarch.rpm

lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4/lpfcdkms-7.1.14-2.noarch.rpm

lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4/README

2. If you do not already have DKMS installed on your system, then

install the DKMS RPM contained within the newly created

directory. If DKMS is already installed on the system, then skip to

the next step to perform the Emulex driver installation.

rpm -ivh dkms-2.0.4-1.noarch.rpm
