Install QLogic driver

This topic describes the procedure for installing the QLogic driver.

Prerequisites

Before you begin: Ensure that you have downloaded the QLogic driver .tgz file from the QLogic website and that you can use this driver with your storage subsystem.

Steps

  1. Load the QLogic driver package into the temporary directory.
  2. Unpack the QLogic .tgz file.
    cd /tmp
    tar -xvzf qla2x00-v6.06.64-dist.tgz
  3. Run the drvrinstall command:
    cd qlogic
    ./drvrinstall
  4. Prepare the Linux kernel header files.
    cd /usr/src/linux
    make mrproper
    cp /boot/config-2.4.21-138-smp .config
    make oldconfig
    make dep
  5. Build the new driver and copy it to the appropriate directory:
    cd /tmp/qlogic
    make clean
    make all SMP=1 OSVER=linux
    make install
  6. Make the QLogic driver load automatically when the engine is booted.
    1. Edit /etc/sysconfig/kernel.
      Tip: Make a backup of this file before you edit it.
    2. Add the QLogic driver to the INITRD_MODULES line. It should now look like this:
      INITRD_MODULES="scsi_mod sd_mod mptscsih reiserfs qla2300"
    3. Save the file.
    4. Run mkinitrd.
      # mkinitrd
  7. Reboot the engine.
  8. Verify that the QLogic driver was successfully installed.
    cat /proc/scsi/scsi
    Result: All metadata volumes should now be visible. For example:
