Removing a Previous 7.x Version of the Driver
To completely remove a previous 7.x version of the driver:
1. Log on as 'root'.
2. If possible, exit all applications that use Fibre Channel-attached drives, then unmount the drives.
If you cannot exit all applications that use Fibre Channel-attached drives, the uninstall will work
properly, but you must reboot after the uninstallation is complete.
3. Stop HBAnyware. Type:
cd <path>./
stop_hbanyware
The script is located in the /usr/sbin/hbanyware directory.
4. Remove previous installations of HBAnyware. Type:
rpm -e
HBAnyware
5. Stop AutoPilot. Type:
cd <path>./
stop_autopilot
The script is located in the /usr/sbin/hbanyware directory.
6. Remove previous installations of AutoPilot. Type:
rpm -e AutoPilot
7. Change to the directory that was extracted from the tarball during installation
8. Execute the lpfc-install script with the '--uninstall' option. Type:
./lpfc-install --uninstall
9. If prompted, reboot the system.
Note: This section describes how to remove a previous installation of an earlier driver. The
Emulex 7.1 lpfc.conf file removes several configuration parameters from previous
versions.
Do NOT replace the current lpfc.conf with lpfc.conf.c or lpfc.conf.defs or lpfc.conf from
a previous non 7.x series release. With the 7.1 driver, all configuration parameters are
set in the /etc/lpfc.conf file. There is no lpfc.conf.c or lpfc.conf.defs file present in the
7.1 release.
To reuse an old configuration, you must backup the previous lpfc.conf.defs, lpfc.conf
and lpfc.conf.c file and merge configuration in these files to /etc/lpfc.conf file after
installing the new driver and before building the new driver.
Note: Driver installation or removal does not save the configuration files (i.e. lpfc.conf,
lpfc.conf.c or lpfc.conf.defs) from previous installations. If you customized any of
these files, we recommend that you copy them to another location so that you have a
record of the changes.
