Solaris SPARC Driver and SANblade Control FX Installation
(QL2300)
13.1
Introduction
This section provides instructions for installing the Solaris SPARC driver and
SANblade Control FX GUI in an already installed Solaris SPARC operating system.
The latest version of the Solaris SPARC driver package is available on the QLogic
Web site (www.qlogic.com
). The files in the driver package cannot be read nor
installed from a DOS environment. Be sure to review the README.TXT file for both
new and changed information.
To install the driver from a CD-ROM, see section 13.4. To install the driver from the
QLogic Web site, see section 13.5. If you are installing the driver from another
media, for example, a floppy disk, transfer the qla2300.Z file to a temporary directory
on the machine where the driver is to be installed, then continue with step 4 in
section 13.5.

Pre-installation Requirements
13.2.1
Pre-installation Requirements for the Solaris Driver
Before you install the Solaris driver, uninstall any existing QLA2300 driver using the
pkgrm utility.
NOTE:
n If you are uninstalling Solaris driver version 4.07 or later, the Solaris pkgrm
utility creates a backup copy of the qla2300.conf configuration file in the
/kernel/drv directory.
n If you are uninstalling a driver version before 4.07, QLogic recommends
that you manually create a backup copy of the qla2300.conf configuration
file.
For additional information, please review the latest Solaris readme.txt file, available
on the QLogic web site (www.qlogic.com
).
