Installing the Linux FCoE Driver
This section provides procedures for installing the Linux FCoE driver for the
following operating systems:
Building the Driver for RHEL 6.5 Linux
Building the Driver for SLES 11 SP4 Linux
Building the Driver for SLES 12 Linux
Building the Driver for SLES 11 SP3 Linux
Building the Driver for RHEL 6.5 Linux
1. Issue the following commands from the directory that contains the source
driver file, qla2xxx-src-x.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx-k.gz:
# tar -xzvf qla2xxx-src-x.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx-k.tar.gz
# cd qla2xxx-src-x.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx-k
where x.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx is the applicable version number.
2. Build and install the driver modules from the source code by executing the
build.sh script as follows:
# ./extras/build.sh install
The build.sh script does the following:
Builds the driver .ko files.
Copies the .ko files to the appropriate
/lib/modules/2.6.../extra/qlgc-qla2xxx directory.
3. Manually load the driver for Linux by issuing the following command:
# modprobe -v qla2xxx
To unload the driver, issue the following command:
# modprobe -r qla2xxx
4. To automatically load the driver each time the system boots, rebuild the
RAM disk to include the driver as follows:
a. Create a backup copy of the RAMDISK image by issuing the following
commands:
# cd /boot
# cp initramfs-[kernel version].img initramfs-[kernel
version].img.bak
b. Create the new RAMDISK by issuing the following command:
# dracut -f
