EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex FC HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Additional Notes
• For the Navisphere Host Agent:
/etc/init.d/naviagent stop
or
service naviagent stop
4. If PowerPath is installed and enabled on the host, stop the
PowerPath service with one of the following commands:
/etc/init.d/PowerPath stop
or
service PowerPath stop
5. If the Emulex Application Kit has been installed, stop the
Discovery Server and Remote Management Server processes with
the following commands:
/etc/init.d/ElxDiscSrv stop
/etc/init.d/ElxRMSrv stop
6. Unload the lpfcdfc driver before unloading the lpfc driver.
Use the modprobe command to remove the drivers:
modprobe -r lpfcdfc
modprobe -r lpfc
The modprobe command is a wrapper or an extension to insmod
and rmmod. The command uses and maintains a set of files that
describe all the modules that are available for the current kernel
in
/lib/modules. The modprobe command can be used to load
and unload an entire set of modules. (A set of modules can be a
single module or a stack of dependent modules.) When
modprobe is used, it automatically loads all of the modules
needed in a module stack based on the information in
modules.dep. EMC recommends using modprobe to load and
unload the Emulex modular drivers.
The loading of the module is accomplished with either modprobe
or insmod. These commands are used to install loadable kernel
modules into a running kernel. The commands will attempt to
link a module into the running kernel by resolving the symbols
from the kernel’s exported symbol table.
