Building the Driver for RHEL 6. x and 7. x
1. From the directory that contains the source driver file,
qla2 xxx -src-v x . xx . xx . xx .06. x -k.tar.gz
, issue the appropriate
commands for your Linux version.
RHEL 6. x
# tar -xzvf qla2 xxx -src-v x . xx . xx . xx .06.x-k.tar.gz
# cd qla2 xxx -src-v x . xx . xx . xx .06.x-k
RHEL 7. x
# tar -xzvf qla2xxx-src-vx.xx.xx.xx.07.x-k.tar.gz
# cd qla2xxx-src-vx.xx.xx.xx.07.x-k
2. Build and install the driver modules from the source code by executing the
build.sh
script as follows:
# ./extras/build.sh install
The
build.sh
script does the following:
 Builds the driver
.ko
files.
 Copies the
.ko
files to the appropriate
/lib/modules/<kernel
version>/extra/qlgc-qla2 xxx
directory.
 Add the appropriate directive in the
modprobe.conf
(if applicable).
3. (Optional) To manually load the driver, issue the
insmod
or
modprobe
command:
 To directly load the driver from the local build directory, issue the
following
insmod
commands in order:
# modprobe scsi_tgt.ko
(if not already loaded)
# modprobe scsi_transport_fc.ko
# insmod qla2 xxx .ko
 To load the driver using modprobe, issue the following command:
# modprobe -v qla2 xxx
NOTE
You can optionally complete either or both Step 3 and Step 4 of this
procedure.
