Installing an operating system on a Symmetrix, VNX series, or CLARiiON

Configuring a Boot Device on an EMC Storage Array
Since the Emulex v7.3.x driver is integrated into the kernel of RHEL
3.0 U6 through RHEL 3.9, there is no need to create a driver diskette
image.
Before beginning the installation, perform the steps described in the
appropriate section for the EMC storage array being used:
◆ “Configuring a Symmetrix boot device” on page 128
◆ “Configuring a VNX series or CLARiiON boot device” on
page 132
Using the CDs for your Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 install, boot the
server to be installed. The installation may now be performed as it
would when using an internal disk drive.
Installing SLES 8 SP4 for the i386 architecture onto the EMC storage device with the
Emulex v7.x-Series driver diskette
EMC supports specific kernel revisions of SLES 8 SP4 for the i386
architecture booting from the SAN. Please refer to the EMC Support
Matrix for the most recent information.
The Emulex v1.23a driver included in the SLES 8 SP4 distribution is
not supported and must be replaced with the v7.x series driver. Since
the v7.x series driver is not integrated into the SLES 8 SP4 kernel, a
driver diskette image is required for the Emulex 7.x-series driver
when booting from the SAN.
The driver diskette image for SLES 8 SP4 may be downloaded from
the Linux Tools section on the Emulex website.
1. Download the driver diskette image, and save it to a local
directory on a host other than the host that is to boot from the
SAN.
2. Uncompress the driver diskette image:
gunzip dd-emulex-20050517.img.gz
3. Write the driver diskette image to a floppy diskette:
dd if=dd-emulex-20050517.img of=/dev/fd0
4. Boot the host system from the SLES 8 SP4 CD with the driver
diskette floppy in the floppy drive, and begin the installation. The
SLES 8 SP4 installation automatically searches the floppy and will
load the lpfc driver during the installation.
