fc-fcoe driver for rhel 5.6/5.7 (x86/x64) v-8.03.07.09.5.6-k

安裝 :

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.

可選參數 :

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.
