Installing the Linux Driver

Installing the Driver

This section provides instructions for installing the qla2300 driver into a Linux
operating system.
To install the driver, you must be familiar with the operating system under which
the HBA is to operate, and have access to standard system documentation.
To install the driver, you must perform the following:

Building a Driver from the Sources

If your Linux kernel version does not match the prebuilt driver binaries, you need
to build the driver in your configuration locally. To build a single-processor
version of the qla2300 driver, see section
Driver
qla2300 driver, see section
chapter.

Building a Uniprocessor Version of the Driver

Perform the following steps to build a uniprocessor version of the qla2300 driver:
1. If not already installed, extract the kernel-header and kernel-source RPM files
2. Copy the qla2x00src-xx.xx.tgz file to the /home/qla2x00 directory.
3. Build the qla2300 driver from the sources.
