HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.1.1 for Linux Installation Guide (May 2006)

Appendix C: HBA Driver Procedures 72
5. Update the /etc/hpcfs/fc_pcitable file with information about the driver
that you installed. The beginning of the file describes the syntax of the
entries in the file. Be sure to review this information. The end of the
file contains uncommented lines that specify the hardware installed
on your system. Following is an example:
# Adapters found on this system: 0x1077 0x2300 qla2300 scsi/
qla2x00-6.06.10 "" QLogic 2300 Fibre Channel Adapter
Make sure that the third field is the name of the driver (without the .o
or .ko). Replace the fourth field with the absolute path to the driver
that was loaded. Following is an example of the edited line. Note that
this is just an example; your driver may be installed in a different
location.
# Adapters found on this system: 0x1077 0x2300 qla2300_new /
lib/modules/<kernel_ver>/kernel/drivers/scsi "" EMC approved
QLogic 2300 Fibre Channel Adapter
6. Verify that the new driver loads correctly.
# /etc/init.d/pmxs load
7. Enable the HP Clustered File System startup script.
/sbin/chkconfig --add pmxs
8. Start HP Clustered File System.
/etc/init.d/pmxs start
All nodes in the cluster must be updated to use the new HBA driver.
Enabling the Failover Feature for QLogic
Drivers
QLogic device drivers have an MPIO failover feature. You must enable
this feature to use it. (HP recommends that you do not use the failover
feature for QLogic versions 6.04 and earlier.)
To enable the failover feature, modify the fc_pcitable file to include
"ql2xfailover=1" in the insmod options. In the file, locate the line for your
device driver and add the failover option. (Note that for the 8.00.00 and
later drivers, the option is in the qla2xxx module. For earlier versions of
