EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex FC HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the Emulex Driver
alias eth0 tg3
options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=255 scsi_allow_ghost_devices=1
2. If any modifications are made to the /etc/modules.conf file to
include references to the Emulex HBAs, create a new ramdisk to
reflect the changes made:
cd /boot
mkinitrd –v initrd-
$1
.img
$1
where
$1
is the currently running v2.4.x kernel version.
Example:
cd /boot
cp initrd-2.4.21-27.ELsmp.img
initrd-2.4.21-27.ELsmp.img.orig
mkinitrd –v initrd-2.4.21-27.ELsmp.img 2.4.21-27.ELsmp
3. Reboot the host.
Note: When using RHEL 3.0 U4 and U5, it is required that parameter value
modifications be made via an edit to /etc/modules.conf, not
lpfc.conf.
Note: When attaching to a VNX series or CLARiiON storage system, the
lpfc_inq_pqb_filter parameter must be enabled in the
/etc/modules.conf file. Refer to “CLARiiON “Ghost” LUN reported with
the Emulex v7.1.14 and v7.3.2 drivers (PQB filter)” on page 168.
Enabling the Emulex v7.x-Series driver in Asianux 1.0 U1
EMC supports the Emulex v7.1.14 driver integrated into the Asianux
1.0 U1 distribution. As with RHEL 3.0 U4, the Asianux 1.0 U1 kernel
v2.4.21-20.19AX includes the Emulex v7.1.14
lpfc driver and the
lpfcdfc IOCTL application helper driver by default in the kernel.
Follow the procedure used to enable the integrated v7.1.14 driver for
RHEL 3.0 U4 for Asianux 1.0 U1 hosts. Refer to “Enabling the Emulex
v7.x-Series driver in RHEL 3.0 U4 and U5” on page 63.
As with RHEL 3.0 U5, Asianux 1.0 U1 includes the
lpfcdfc IOCTL
Application Helper Module by default so no steps need to be taken in
order to enable it.
