Installing the Driver
This section provides instructions for installing the qla2300 driver into a Linux
operating system.
To install the driver, you must be familiar with the operating system under which
the HBA is to operate, and have access to standard system documentation.
To install the driver, you must perform the following:
■
Building a Driver from the Sources
■
Installing the Driver on the Boot Drive
■
Loading the Driver
Building a Driver from the Sources
If your Linux kernel version does not match the prebuilt driver binaries, you need
to build the driver in your configuration locally. To build a single-processor
version of the qla2300 driver, see section
Building a Uniprocessor Version of the
Driver
in this chapter. To build a symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) version of the
qla2300 driver, see section
Building a Multiprocessor Version of the Driver
in this
chapter.
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, 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. Copy the qla2x00src-xx.xx.tgz file to the /home/qla2x00 directory.
# cd /home
# mkdir qla2x00
# cd /home/qla2x00
# mcopy a:*.tgz . (The period [.] at the end is required.)
# tar -xvzf qla*.tgz
3. Build the qla2300 driver from the sources.
# make ISP2300=1
