Installing and Configuring the QLogic HBA and v8.x-Series Driver

Installation methods for the QLogic v8.xx.xx driver

The QLogic v8.xx.xx driver may be installed onto a Linux host using

one of the two following methods:

◆ Method One - Use the QLogic DKMS RPM to compile and install

the modular driver for Dell servers running RHEL 4.0 systems

and attached to EMC Storage Arrays.

This method requires no manual edits for Dell servers attached to

EMC Storage Arrays. By installing the DKMS RPM, the necessary

files will be edited and the driver will be compiled and installed

automatically.

◆ Method Two - Use the QLogic RPM to compile and install the

modular driver for RHEL 4, SLES 9, and SLES 10.

This method requires no manual edits for systems attached to

EMC Storage Arrays. By installing the QLogic RPM, the

necessary files will be edited and the driver will be compiled and

installed automatically.

Note: Prior to installing the QLogic driver, processes holding the driver open

must be stopped so that the currently-loaded driver may be removed from

the running kernel.

Perform the following steps prior to the installation:

1. Stop all I/O.

2. Unmount all filesystems attached to the QLogic driver.

3. If the Naviagent/CLI is installed and enabled on the host, then

the Naviagent/CLI service must be stopped.

To stop the Naviagent/CLI service, issue one of the two following

commands:

/etc/init.d/naviagentcli stop

service naviagentcli stop

4. If PowerPath is installed and enabled on the host, then the

PowerPath service must be stopped.
