Driver for Linux - Installation Section Page 3

Installing the Driver Kit

The lpfc-install script installs both the lpfc driver and the lpfcdfc driver RPMs. These RPMs install their

driver sources to the /usr/src/lpfc directory, build their drivers for the currently running kernel, and then

install the drivers to the proper directory for the currently running kernel.

Once the RPMs are installed, the lpfc-install script creates a new ramdisk for the currently running kernel

so that the 'lpfc' driver is loaded when the kernel is initialized during system startup. The 'elxlpfc' init

script is also installed and configured to start and stop the 'lpfcdfc' driver during system startup and

shutdown.

To install the Emulex driver kit for Linux:

1. Install a supported Emulex host bus adapter in the system. Refer to the adapter's Installation

manual for specific hardware installation instructions.

2. Download the driver from the Emulex web site or copy it to the system from the installation CD.

3. Log on as 'root' to a terminal, and unpack the tarball with the following command:

tar xzf lpfc-<driver version>.tar.gz

4. Change to the directory that is extracted:

cd lpfc-<driver version>/

5. Execute the 'lpfc-install' script with no options to install the new driver kit. Type:

./lpfc-install

Note: Emulex strongly recommends uninstalling any previous driver kits before installing

this driver kit.

The 'lpfc-install' script for version 7.1 uninstalls previous 7.x driver kits and installs the

current driver kit. If you have a previous version of the 7.x driver installed, removal

instructions are contained in this installation procedure, or you may refer to the

"Removing a Previous 7.x Driver" section in this manual before attemping to install

version 7.1.

If you have a version of the 2.x or 1.x driver installed, refer to the "Removing a 2.x or

1.x Driver" section in this manual before attempting to install version 7.1.

Note: The HBAnyware™ and LightPulse™ (lputil) utilities are bundled together and must be

installed separately from the driver. Refer to the "Installing the Utilities" section of this

manual for more information.

Note: Emulex strongly recommends uninstalling any previous driver kits before installing

this driver kit. The 'lpfc-install' script uninstalls previous 7.x driver kits and installs the

current driver kit.

To uninstall any previous driver kits, execute the 'lpfc-install' script with the '--uninstall'

option. Type: ./lpfc-install --uninstall

Note: You can also use an alternate 7.x version lpfc.conf configuration file if you wish. For

example, you may want to use a version 7.x lpfc.conf file that you customized.

To use an alternate lpfc.conf type: ./lpfc-install -c <configuration file name>
