Driver is Not Loaded after System Reboot
After Upgrading The Kernel
Situation:
The driver is not loaded when the system is rebooted after upgrading the kernel.
Resolution:
There are two ways to install the driver into an upgraded kernel. The method you use
depends on whether or not you are upgrading the driver.
● You can upgrade the kernel using the same version of the driver.
● You can upgrade the kernel using a new version of the driver.
To upgrade the kernel with the same version of the lpfc driver kit installed:
1. Copy the /etc/lpfc.conf file to a safe location; for example, to /etc/lpfc.conf.backup.
Type:
cp /etc/lpfc.conf /etc/lpfc.conf.backup
2. Uninstall the Emulex driver. Type:
lpfc-install --uninstall
3. Upgrade the kernel and/or distribution.
4. Reboot the system with the new kernel.
5. Re-install the Emulex driver with the lpfc.conf file; to use the previous example, /etc/
lpfc.conf.backup. Type:
lpfc-install -c /etc/lpfc.conf.backup
6. Reboot the system to complete re-installation of the Emulex drivers.
