EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex FC HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment

Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the Emulex Driver

Installation instructions for the Emulex v8.x-series driver

Using the Emulex adapter with the Linux operating system requires

adapter driver software. The driver functions at a layer below the

Linux SCSI driver to present Fibre Channel devices to the operating

system as if they were standard SCSI devices.

Refer to the latest EMC Support Matrix for specific qualified kernel

versions and distributions.

Note: The support stated in the EMC Support Matrix supersedes versions

listed in this document.

The Emulex v8.x-series lpfc and lpfcdfc drivers may be installed onto

a Linux host using the installer script packaged along with the driver

sources. However, for drivers listed in the EMC Support Matrix as

in-kernel drivers, there is no need to perform the following

installation since the process of installing the operating system has

already included the driver.

Currently, the v2.6.x kernel does not allow scanning past a

non-existent LUN 000. As a result, LUN 000 must exist on the EMC

Storage Array in order for the SCSI layer to scan all devices.
