EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex FC HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the Emulex Driver
The initial uncompression will create a new directory and will
provide you with the following files within the new directory:
lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4/
lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4/elxlpfc
lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4/lpfcdfcdriver-1.0.13-1.noarch.rpm
lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4/lpfc-install
lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4/README
Contained within the newly created directory is the
lpfc-install script. This script will install both the lpfc and the
lpfcdfc drivers. These driver RPMs are installed in the
/usr/src/lpfc directory. No options are needed when
executing this script.
After the RPMs are installed into the
/usr/src/lpfc directory,
the RPMs then are executed so that the drivers will be built and
installed into the currently running kernel. The script then
modifies
/etc/modules.conf. The lpfc driver host adapter line
will be appended to the
/etc/modules.conf file for each
instance of an Emulex HBA.
The options line containing the addition of the
scsi_allow_ghost_devices and max_scsi_luns parameters
will also be appended to the file. This will allow the host to
correctly identify the disconnected LUN 0 that is reported when
attached to a VNX series or CLARiiON storage system, as well as
allow the SCSI stack to scan up to 255 devices. The
Unisphere
™
/Navisphere
®
Host Agent requires that the
disconnected LUN 0 be reported.
After modifying the
/etc/modules.conf file, the last action
performed by the installer is to create a new ramdisk.
The
elxlpfc is an initialization script for the lpfcdfc driver. The
elxlpfc script is also installed so that the
lpfcdfc driver is
configured to start and stop during system boot up and
shutdown.
5. Install the Emulex driver.
cd /home/emulex/lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.1.14-4
./lpfc_install
The output from running the installer script is as follows:
Emulex LPFC Driver Installer Version 1.4.1.10
