Solaris SPARC Driver Installation
(QLA2200)
6.1
Introduction
This section provides instructions for installing the Solaris SPARC driver in an
already installed Solaris SPARC operating system.
The latest version of the Solaris SPARC driver package is available on the QLogic
web site. The files in the driver package cannot be read nor installed from a DOS
environment. Be sure to review the README.TXT for both new and changed
information.
To install the driver from a CD-ROM, see section 6.2. To install the driver from the
QLogic Web site, see section 6.3. If you are installing the driver from another media,
for example, a floppy disk, transfer the qla2200.Z file to a temporary directory on
the machine where the driver is to be installed, then continue with step 4 in
section 6.3.

Installing the Solaris SPARC Driver from a CD-ROM
Perform the following steps to install the Solaris SPARC driver from a CD-ROM to
your system.
NOTE: To install the QLA2200 driver, you must have superuser privileges.
1. Log on to the system as superuser.
2. Create a temporary directory where you can copy the driver.
3. Change the directory (cd) to the CD-ROM mount point (usually /cdrom, but
the location varies. Ask your system administrator for the specific directory).
4. Change the directory (cd) to the Solaris directory.
5. Copy (cp) the qla2200.Z file from the CD-ROM to the temporary directory
created in step 2.
6. Change the directory (cd) to the temporary directory created in step 2.
7. At the command prompt, type:
uncompress ./qla2200.Z
8. Step 7 produces a file in the same directory called qla2200.
