To Download the Fibre Channel Driver
1. Go to the QLogic support site for Sun Microsystems at:
http://support.qlogic.com/support/defaultsun_page.asp
2. Locate the table containing the SG-XPCIE2FC-QF8-Z model.
3. At the bottom of the table, in the Software for row, click Linux.
4. In the Red Hat or SUSE Linux table, find the appropriate driver (the file name
is in the format
qle256
x
-vx.yy.zz-dist.tgz
).
5. In the Download column of that row, click Download.
6. Save the file to a directory on the hard disk of the computer.
Note –
Because the driver distribution file is now larger than 1.44 Mb, it cannot fit
on a 1.44 Mb floppy disk; therefore, you must use a USB driver or local hard disk to
download the file.
