Installing the Linux driver 24
Installing the driver on the boot drive
NOTE: The following instructions for manually installing the driver and loading and unloading the
driver are required only if the driver has been manually built from source. If the driver was installed
from an HP driver RPM or driver kit, the driver loads at boot time.
Before manually installing the driver, note the following:
• The Q2300 HBA must be installed in the system before installing the qla2300 driver.
• The kernel_release_version is the Linux kernel release version of your system.
• In the following examples, the path to your driver may be:
/lib/modules/kernel_release_version/kernel/drivers/addon/…
Perform the following steps to install the qla2300 driver on the boot drive:
1. Build the driver binary file.
To build a driver binary from source files, see the section ”
Building a driver from the sources ”
on page 21.
2. Copy the
qla2300.o
binary file to the following directory:
/lib/modules/kernel_release_version/kernel/drivers/scsi
3. At the command prompt, enter the following command to update the module dependency:
# depmod -a
The qla2300 driver is now installed. However, the driver must be loaded before the system can
access the devices attached to the HBA.
