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
Example:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 eepro100
alias scsi_hostadapter cpqarray
alias scsi_hostadapter1 cpqarray
alias scsi_hostadapter2 qla2300
alias scsi_hostadapter3 qla2300
options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=255 scsi_allow_ghost_devices=1
options qla2300 extended_error_logging=1
4. After the modification to /etc/modules.conf has been made, a
new ramdisk needs to be created and the host rebooted.
To create a new ramdisk, type the
mkinitrd command:
• For Red Hat, type:
cd /boot
mkinitrd –v initrd-$1.img $1
where $1 is the v2.4.x kernel version currently running.
Example:
cd /boot
mkinitrd initrd-2.4.21-37.ELsmp.img 2.4.21-37.ELsmp
• For SuSE, type:
cd /boot
mkinitrd –i initrd-$1 -k vmlinuz-$1
where $1 is the v2.4.x kernel version currently running.
Example:
cd /boot
mkinitrd -i initrd-2.4.21-286-smp -k vmlinuz-2.4.21-286-smp
5. Reboot the host.
QLogic v8.x-series driver parameters
The QLogic driver contains a number of parameters that may be
modified, such as debug.
IMPORTANT
!
EMC does not recommend changing these parameters and defaults
should be left as is.
