Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the Emulex Driver
Note: When attaching to a VNX series or CLARiiON storage array, the
lpfc_inq_pqb_filter parameter must be enabled in the
/etc/modules.conf file. Refer to “CLARiiON “Ghost” LUN reported with
the Emulex v7.1.14 and v7.3.2 drivers (PQB filter)” on page 168.
Installing the IOCTL Application Helper Module on RHEL 3.0 U4
The Emulex IOCTL Application Helper Module allows Emulex
applications to communicate with the driver itself. However, the
IOCTL Application Helper Module is not included in the RHEL 3.0
U4 kernel. Therefore, if Emulex applications are to be used on the
host, the IOCTL Application Helper Module must be downloaded
and installed separately.
Follow these steps to install the IOCTL Application Helper Module
on a RHEL 3.0 U4 host.
1. Verify that the correct version of the Emulex driver is loaded in
the kernel. Run the lsmod command to ensure that the Emulex
driver is loaded on the system.
Example:
[root@l82bi250 /]# lsmod
