EMC Host Connectivity with QLogic Fibre Channel and iSCSI (HBAs) and (CNAs) for the Linux Environment
Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the QLogic Driver
Introduction
Using the QLogic adapter with the Linux operating system requires
adapter driver software. The driver functions at a layer below the
Linux SCSI driver to present Fibre Channel devices to the operating
system as if they were standard SCSI devices.
EMC supports the QLogic in kernel default drivers in the distribution
in most later operating systems. See Table 5 on page 49 for a list of
QLogic out of kernel driver versions supported with corresponding
OS updates. (These driver versions require manually installation.)
Refer to the latest EMC Support Matrix for specific qualified kernel
versions and distributions.
Note: The support stated in the EMC Support Matrix supersedes versions
listed in this document.
