Installing the SCSI Miniport Driver

Host Bus Adapter for Windows and Linux Installation Guide
Loading the Driver Through the RAM Disk Image
1. To add SCSI and IP modules, edit /etc/conf.modules or modules.conf,
depending on the Linux release.
Add the following line to add a SCSI module:
alias scsi_hostadapter lpfcdd
Add the following line to add an IP module:
alias lpfnX lpfndd
where X is the interface number, 0 through 7.
Note:
If you want to configure SCSI only, just add the scsi_hostadapter line. The IP
module is dependent on the SCSI modules being there, so you cannot configure
just IP.
2. Run the following command to update your system with the information you
added to /etc/conf.modules:
# depmod -a
Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lpfnX.
Where X is the interface number, 0 through 7. This file should be created if
you wish to configure IP. An example of this file:
DEVICE=lpfn0
IPADDR=138.239.40.6
BROADCAST=138.239.40.255
NETWORK=138.239.40.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
SuSE does not use the above structure.
3. Run the following script (all on one line) once lpfcdd is loaded to bring up IP:
insmod lpfndd ifconfig lpfxdd inet n.n.n.n. broadcast n.n.n.n
netmaskn.n.n.n.
Edit /etc/lilo.conf to specify boot / startup parameters. Keep a boot image
record that is known to be good, so you can boot the system in case of
problems. A boot image record consists of lines between
“image=kernel_version” entries. An example of a default /etc/lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.bprompt
