EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex FC HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the Emulex Driver
o The ramdisk for this kernel has been updated.
Please reboot this system to complete the installation
of the Emulex LPFC driver kit.
An example of a newly modified /etc/modules.conf is shown
below.
The last three lines of the file have been newly added by the
installer script.
[root@l82bi250 /]# more /etc/modules.conf
alias eth0 tg3
alias eth1 tg3
alias eth2 tg3
alias scsi_hostadapter mptbase
alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptscsih
alias usb-controller usb-ohci
alias scsi_hostadapter2 lpfc
alias scsi_hostadapter3 lpfc
options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=256 scsi_allow_ghost_devices=1
The scsi_allow_ghost_devices parameter is enabled by
default in SLES 8 SP3. Therefore the installer script will not add
the parameter to the
/etc/modules.conf file for SLES 8 SP3
installations.
6. Reboot the host so that the lpfc driver can be loaded through the
newly created ramdisk.
Installing the Emulex v7.x Series driver, Method two
This section guides you through the process of installing and utilizing
the Emulex DKMS RPM for the Emulex v7.1.14 driver for RHEL 2.1
and 3.0 distributions.
Note: Please note that the DKMS RPM method does not function properly
with SLES 8 distributions and may not be used.
The DKMS RPM will build and install the lpfc and lpfcdfc drivers
and modify your
/etc/modules.conf file.
The host adapter line will be appended to the
/etc/modules.conf
file for the lpfc driver.
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
