Installing the FCoE Driver for RHEL 5.3 Boot-from-SAN
The RHEL 5.3 operating system does not include the QLogic 8100 Series Adapter
drivers. Therefore, to boot from SAN, you must load the adapter drivers during the
operating system installation. QLogic provides a driver disk kit (DD-Kit) for RHEL
5.3 that contains the driver binaries for RHEL 5.3.
To download, create, and install a DD-Kit for RHEL 5.3 on the SAN:
1. Go to the QLogic Web site: http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com
.
2. Click QLogic Products.
3. Click Adapters.
4. In the selection list, click Converged Network Adapters in the first column.
5. In the selection list, click on the adapter model number in the second
column.
6. In the third column, click the version of the Linux operating system that is
installed on the server, and then click Go. For example, in Figure 4-7, Linux
Red Hat (64-bit) is selected for a QLE8152 adapter.
