Configuring the NIC in a Linux Environment

Using sysfs
The
sysfs
virtual file system, provided by Linux 2.6 kernels, is available in RHEL
5. It exports information about supported devices and drivers from the kernel
device model into user space and configures devices and drivers.
For the QLogic NIC driver, the following table summarizes the
sysfs
locations
and the parameters can be modified by accessing these locations.
For example:
1. Change directory into the
sysfs
location where the driver parameter to be
modified is represented as a sysfs special file/entry. For example:
# cd /sys/module/qlge/parameters
2. Modify the
sysfs
entry for the corresponding driver parameter. The
following command forces the qlge driver to use MSI interrupts. For
example:
# echo 1 > qlge_irq_type
NOTE:
Driver parameter changes that you make with
sysfs
are effective
immediately, and do not interrupt I/O operations on the adapter.
CAUTION!
Driver parameter changes that you make with
sysfs
are not persistent
across reboots or driver reloads.
