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

Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the Emulex Driver

Note: All options must be contained on a single line. The above example

contains all options on a single line; however, because of line wrap, they

appear to be on separate lines.

EMC recommends creating a new RAM disk after modifying the

parameters in

/etc/modprobe.conf and rebooting the host in order

to use the new RAM disk.

To create a new RAM disk, use the script

lpfc-install with the

--createramdisk option as follows:

1. Change to the directory where the installation files are located.

cd /home/emulex/lpfc_2.6_driver_kit-8.0.16.6_x2-1/

2. Run the install script with the --createramdisk option:

./lpfc-install --createramdisk

Emulex LPFC Driver Installer Version 1.30.1.2

Determining distribution type and kernel version ...

Original ramdisk image /boot/initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img

saved as /boot/initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img.elx

Creating ramdisk ...

The ramdisk for this kernel has been updated.

3. Reboot the host.

Alternatively, a new ramdisk may be created using the mkinitrd

command.

For example:

cd /boot

mkinitrd –v initrd-2.6.9-5smp.EL.img 2.6.9-5smp.EL
