Configuring host files
29
Installing and Configuring the HBA and Driver
by editing the actual file /kernel/drv/qla2x00.conf. When
the host is rebooted, the software looks only at the information
added through the SANblade utility, if such information
exists. This means that if you use the SANblade utility to add
an HBA, any HBAs that were added by editing
/kernel/drv/qla2x00.conf will be ignored when the host is
rebooted.
If you use the SANblade utility, be sure to add any HBAs that
are already configured in
/kernel/drv/qla2x00.conf.
b. At the Ta b dialog, click Target Persistent Binding.
c. Check the Bind column.
d. In the Target ID field, bind the target device by any ID in the
range 0 through 255.
e. When finished, click Save.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 8 to set the variables and/or do the
persistent binding for any other QLogic adapters.
10. On the SANblade Control FX main window File menu, select Exit
to exit the GUI.
CAUTION
!
If you want the QLogic driver to report OS discovery of persistent
binded devices only, change the setting in /kernel/drv/qla2x00.conf
as follows:
from:qla-mp-config-required=0;
to: qla-mp-config-required=1;
All parameters saved from the SANblade GUI are stored in the driver
configuration file
/kernel/drv/qla2x00.conf and in the HBA’s
NVRAM.
What next?
◆ If you need to edit /etc/system, proceed to “Editing
/etc/system” on page 30.
◆ If you are finished editing configuration files, reboot the host with
the reconfigure option (
reboot -- -r) to rebuild the kernel and
implement the changes.
