3.5.1 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 18: SAN Maintenance 308

1. Stop Matrix Server if it is currently running:

# /etc/init.d/pmxs stop

2. Disable the Matrix Server startup script. Type this command:

# /sbin/chkconfig --del pmxs

3. Reboot the server.

4. Run the lspci(8) command to determine the vendor ID and device ID

of the FC host bus adapters on the server.

5. Update the 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

6. 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

7. Verify that the new driver loads correctly:

# /etc/init.d/pmxs load

8. Enable the Matrix Server startup script. Type this command:

# /sbin/chkconfig --add pmxs

9. Start Matrix Server:

# /etc/init.d/pmxs start

All nodes in the matrix must be updated to use the new HBA driver.
