External Hard-Disk Drives Attached to Emulex
HBA Are Not Recognized Because RHEL3 U8
Does Not Automatically Load Emulex Drivers
(6447329, 6460769)
By design, external drives are never loaded automatically on RHEL3 U8.
Workaround
There are two possible workarounds:
■
Create a new
initrd
file that contains the
XYZ
driver:
1. Use either of the following to manually load the driver:
prompt>
modprobe xyz_driver
prompt>
insmod
< path_to_driver >
/xyz_driver
2. Save a copy of the original
initrd
file:
prompt>
cd /boot
prompt>
cp initrd-
< kernel-version >
.img initrd-
< kernel-version >
.img_SAVED
3. Create a new
initrd
file:
prompt>
mkinitrd -f initrd -
< kernel-version >
.img
< kernel-version >
When the system is rebooted the driver will be loaded automatically.
Note –
You might have to modify the
initrd
file entry in the
grub.conf
file to
reflect the
initrd
file name change. However, be sure to keep an unmodified kernel
entry for the
initrd
file in the
grub.conf
file just in case.
■
Add a device keyword to the
kickstart
file:
device
< scsi/eth >
xyz_driver
[options]
After you choose and perform one of the workarounds, reboot the system and run
the following command to confirm that the driver is loaded:
fdisk -l
