Installing the fibreutils RPM
HP recommends installing the fibreutils RPM found in the driver kit. It contains useful utilities for
managing fibre-attached storage. To manually install this RPM, enter the following command:
# rpm -ivh fibreutils-version.rpm
For more information about fibreutils, refer to the file
/opt/hp/hp_fibreutils/README
.
Changing driver parameters
To change driver parameters:
1. Run the
set_parm
script located in the
/opt/hp/src…
directory.
2. Reboot the server.
NOTE: You must reboot. Otherwise, you may not be able to unload the qla2200 and/or qla2300
drivers if there is a process or file system using a device that is attached to the Q2300 HBA.
Building a driver from the sources
IMPORTANT: The following instructions are for reference only. Use these instructions only if the
driver was not installed from the driver kit or from the HP driver RPM.
To build a single-processor version of the qla2300 driver, see the section ” Building a uniprocessor
version of the driver ” on page 22. To build a symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) version of the
qla2300 driver, see the section ” Building a multiprocessor version of the driver ” on page 22.
NOTE: You need the gcc compiler installed on your system. If it is not installed, install it now.
