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
2. Whenever /etc/modprobe.conf is modified, a new ramdisk
should be created to reflect the changes made. Create a new
ramdisk image to include the newly added references to the
QLogic adapters:
cd /boot
mkinitrd -v initrd-$1.img $1
where $1 is the v2.6.x kernel version currently running.
Example:
mkinitrd -v initrd- 2.6.9-55.ELsmp.img 2.6.9-55.ELsmp
3. Reboot the host.
Enabling the QLogic driver in RHEL 5
To enable this driver:
1. Ensure that the /etc/modprobe.conf file references an entry for
each installed QLogic adapter.
For installed QLogic adapter, add an entry:
alias scsi_hostadapterN qla2xxx
where N is the sequential value of QLogic adapter installed in the
system, beginning with the number after the last host adapter
number entry in the file. (The first host adapter entry begins with
zero.).
Example:
alias scsi_hostadapter1 qla2xxx
2. Whenever /etc/modprobe.conf/ is modified, a new ramdisk
should be created to reflect the changes made. Create a new
ramdisk image to include the newly added references to the
QLogic adapters:
cd /boot
mkinitrd -v initrd-$1.img $1
where $1 is the v2.6.x kernel version currently running.
Example:
mkinitrd -v initrd- 2.6.18-8.el5.img 2.6.18-8.el5
3. Reboot the host.
