HP StorageWorks 3000/5000 Enterprise Virtual Array connectivity for Linux installation and reference guide (5697-7041, November 2007)

# rpm -ivh hp_qla2x00src-version-revision.linux.rpm

• Use the following command to install the hp_qla2x00src RPM without running the driver

build scripts:

# rpm -ivh --noscripts hp_qla2x00src-version-revision.linux.rpm

Upgrading the L

inux components

If you have any i

nstalled c omponents from a previous solution kit or driver kit such as the qla2x00 RPM,

invoke the INSTALL script with no arguments as shown in the following example:

# ./INSTALL

To manually up

grade the components, choose from one of the following kernel distributions:

• For 2.4 kernel based distributions, use version 7.xx.

• For 2.6 kernel based distributions, use version 8.xx.

Based upon whi

ch kernel version you are running, choose from the following to upgrade the driver RPM

manually:

• Use the following command for the hp_qla2x00src RPM:

# rpm -Uvh hp_

qla2x00src-version-revision.linux.rpm

• Use the following command for fibreutils RPM:

# rpm -e fibreutils

# rpm -ivh fib

reutils-version-revision.linux.architecture.rpm

Upgrading qla2x00 RPMs

If you have a qla2x00 RPM from HP installed on your system, use the INSTALL script to upgrade

from qla2x00 RPMs. The INSTALL script removes the old qla2x00 RPM and installs the new

hp_qla2x00src while keeping the driver settings from the previous installation. The script takes no

arguments. Use the following command to run the INSTALL script:

# ./INSTALL

NOTE:

IF you are going to use the failover functionality of the QLA dri ver, uninstall Secure Path and reboot ﬁrst

before you attempt to upgrade the driver. Failing to do so can cause a kernel panic.

Third-part y storage detection

The preinstallation portion of the RPM contains code to check for non-HP storage. The reason for doing

this is so that the RPM does not overwrite any set tings that another vendor may be using. You can skip the

detection by setting the environmental variable HPQLAX00FORCE to y by issuing the following commands:

# HPQLA2X00FORCE=y

# export HPQLA2X00FORCE

You can also use the -F option of the INSTALL script by entering the following command:

# ./INSTALL -F
