FC-FCoE Driver for RHEL 5.6/5.7 (x86/x64) V-8.03.07.09.5.6-k

安装 :

4.1 Building the Driver for RHEL 5.x Linux

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

     # tar -xzvf qla2xxx-src-x.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx-k.tar.gz

     # cd qla2xxx-src-x.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx-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 by issuing the following
    command:
    
     # modprobe -v qla2xxx

    To unload the driver, 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.conf file and add the following entry
       (if they are not present):

        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.

5. Driver System Parameters

The driver gets its parameters when specified with the insmod command.
For example:

# insmod qla2xxx.ko ql2xextended_error_logging=1

If using the modprobe command, you must specify the parameters in the
/etc/modprobe.conf file for RHEL and /etc/modprobe.conf.local for
SLES. For example:

options qla2xxx ql2xextended_error_logging=1

Parameters for the Linux driver include the following:

* ql2xlogintimeout - Defines the login timeout value in seconds 
   during the initial login. Default: 20 seconds

* qlport_down_retry - Defines how long to wait for a port that 
   returns a PORT-DOWN status before returning I/O back to the OS.
   Default: 30 seconds

* ql2xplogiabsentdevice - Enables PLOGI to devices that are not 
   present after a Fabric scan. This is needed for several broken
   switches. Default is 0 - no PLOGI. 1 - perform PLOGI.

* ql2xloginretrycount - Specifies an alternate value for the NVRAM
   login retry count. Default is 8.

* ql2xallocfwdump - Enables allocation of memory for a firmware dump
   during initialization. Memory allocation requirements vary 
   by type. Default is 1 - allocate memory.

* ql2xextended_error_logging - Defines whether the driver prints 
   verbose logging information. Default is 0 - disable. 1 - enable. 

* ql2xfdmienable - Enables FDMI registrations  
   Default is 0 - no FDMI. 1 - perform FDMI.

* ql2xmaxqdepth - Defines the maximum queue depth reported to SCSI 
   mid-level per device. The Queue depth specifies the number of 
   outstanding requests per LUN. Default is 32.

* ql2xqfullrampup - Number of seconds to wait to begin to ramp-up 
   of the queue depth for a device after a queue-full condition has 
   been detected. Default is 120 seconds.

* ql2xqfulltracking - Controls whether the driver tracks queue full
   status returns and dynamically adjusts a SCSI device's queue
   depth.    Default is 1 to perform tracking. Set to 0 to disable
   tracking and adjustment of queue.

* ql2xfwloadbin - Specifies location from which to load ISP firmware.
    2 - load firmware via the request_firmware() interface.
    1 - load firmware from Flash.
    0 - use default semantics.

To view a comprehensive list of parameters, enter the following
command:
