Installing the SCSI Miniport Driver
4. Enter the following command if the file is in the format filename.rpm.Z:
# tar xvzf filename.tar.Z
or else untar the driver file.
# tar xvf filename.tar
The package unzips to one SourceBuild directory.
5. Enter the following command to change directory to the SourceBuild directory.
# cd SourceBuild
This becomes the driver_installation_directory.
Installing the Linux Driver Using an RPM File
To install the driver and boot the system, you must be running as root.
1. Enter the following command to create a temporary directory (for example,
emlxtemp).
# mkdir emlxtemp
2. Enter the following command to change directory to the temporary directory.
# cd emlxtemp
3. Copy or download the device driver RPM file to the temporary directory.
4. Enter the following command if the file is in the format filename.rpm.Z and kernel
source files are installed:
# uncompress filename.rpm.Z
5. Enter the following command to install the driver into
/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/lpfc, the driver_installation_directory.
# rpm -i filename.rpm
6. Enter the following command to install the driver into
/usr/src/<kernelsource>/drivers/scsi/lpfc, the driver_installation_directory.
# rpm -i --prefix /usr/src/<kernelsource>/drivers/scsi/lpfc filename.rpm
If the prefix option is used you must update BASEINCLUDE in the Makefile
placed in the installation directory.
