Installing the SCSI Miniport Driver
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
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-kernel_version
label=linux
root=/dev/sda8
initrd=/boot/initrd-kernel_version.imgread-only
4. Add the following lines to the end of the file to add a new boot record for the
Emulex driver:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-kernel_version
label=new_label
root=/dev/sda8
initrd=/boot/new_image_filenameread-only
append=”max_scsi_luns=128”
NOTE: Currently, lpfc is not supported as the root device, so keep the “root=/dev/xxx”
parameter the same.
