3.1.6 itmpt Device Driver

The LSI Logic/IntraServer itmpt driver is designed to Sun Microsystems
SCSA specifications for device drivers. This driver allows connection of
FC devices to LSI Logic/IntraServer adapter cards on PCI-based
machines.

The following sections describe the procedures to install the driver on
Solaris.

3.2 Installing the itmpt Sun SPARC Solaris FC Driver

The LSI Logic LSI40909G-S uses the itmpt FC driver for Solaris. This
driver is included with your adapter kit.

Note:

If you plan to use an LSI Logic/IntraServer FC adapter for
your

system disk, you must use the installation procedure

as described in

Section 3.2.2, “Network Installation Proce-

dure,”

in order to load the device driver during installation.

3.2.1 Existing System Installation

These instructions provide details to install the LSI Logic/IntraServer
itmpt driver to an existing Solaris operating system installation.

Note:

You must be logged on as root to perform the installation.
