4.2 Building the Driver for RHEL 6.x Linux
编译前先确认kernel-devel、gcc*是否安装好

1. In the directory that contains the source driver file,
   qla2xxx-src-vx.xx.xx.xx.06.x-k.tar.gz, issue the following commands:

   tar -xzvf qla2xxx-src-vx.xx.xx.xx.06.x-k.tar.gz

   cd qla2xxx-src-vx.xx.xx.xx.06.x-k

2. Build and install the driver modules from the source code by
   executing the build.sh script as follows:

   ./extras/build.sh install

   The build.sh script does the following:

   • Builds the driver .ko files.
   • Copies the .ko files to the appropriate
     /lib/modules/2.6…/extra/qlgc-qla2xxx directory.
   • Adds the appropriate directive in the modprobe.conf (if
     applicable).

3. Manually load the driver for Linux Using insmod or modprobe.

   • To directly load the driver from the local build directory,
     issue the following insmod commands in order:

     insmod /lib/modules/2.6…/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_tgt.ko

     (if not already loaded)

     insmod /lib/modules/2.6…/kernel/drivers/scsi/

     scsi_transport_fc.ko

     insmod qla2xxx.ko

   • To load the driver using modprobe, issue the following command:

modprobe -v qla2xxx

* To unload the driver using modprobe, issue the following
  command:

   # modprobe -r qla2xxx

4. Automatically load the driver by rebuilding the RAM disk to
   include the driver as follows:

   a. Edit the /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf file and add the following
   entry. (Create a modprobe.conf file if it does not exist):

   alias scsi_hostadapterX qla2xxx
   

   where, X is based on the order of the SCSI modules being
   loaded.

   b. Create a backup copy of the RAMDISK image by issuing the
   following commands:

   # cd /boot
   
   # cp initrd-[kernel version].img initrd-[kernel version].img.bak
   
   # mkinitrd -f initrd-[kernel version].img `uname -r`
   

   NOTE: Depending on the server hardware, the RAMDISK file name
   may be different.

   c. To load the driver, reboot the host.
