Installing the Linux driver 22
Building a uniprocessor version of the driver
Perform the following steps to build a uniprocessor version of the qla2300 driver:
1. If not already installed, load the kernel-header and kernel-source RPM files from your Linux
CD-ROM. For example:
# cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
# rpm -iv kernel-headers*.rpm
# rpm -iv kernel-source*.rpm
2. Locate the driver source files:
• If you installed the driver kit or the driver RPM, the driver source files reside at
/opt/hp/…
• If you copied your drivers from other media, copy the
qla2x00src-xx.xx.tgz
file to the
/home/qla2x00
directory. For example, if you copied the driver source file to a CD-ROM,
enter:
# cd /home
# mkdir qla2x00
# cd /home/qla2x00
# cp /mnt/cdrom/qla* .
(The period [.] at the end is required.)
# tar -xvzf qla*.tgz
3. Build the qla2300 driver from the sources:
• For Red Hat EL, enter:
# make
• For SUSE SLES, enter:
# make OSVER=linux
Building a multiprocessor version of the driver
Perform the following steps to build an SMP version of the qla2300 driver:
1. If not already installed, extract the kernel-header and kernel-source RPM files from your Linux
CD-ROM distribution. For example:
# cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
# rpm -iv kernel-headers*.rpm
# rpm -iv kernel-source*.rpm
2. Change to the Linux source directory.
• For Red Hat EL, enter:
# cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
• For SUSE SLES, enter:
# cd /usr/src/linux
3. At the command prompt, enter the following :
# make menuconfig
a. Select Processor type and features, and then press Enter .
The Processor Type and Features menu appears .
b. Select Symmetric Multiprocessor, and then press Spacebar .
c. Click Exit .
