817
To install the binary RPM FC and FCoE driver:
1. Download the appropriate driver kit from the Emulex website.
2. Log in as “root” to a terminal, and unpack the tarball:
tar xzf elx-lpfc-dd-<Linux distribution version>-<driver
version>.tar.gz
3. Change to the directory that is extracted:
cd elx-lpfc-dd-<Linux distribution version>-<driver version>/
4. Run the elx_lpfc_install.sh script without options to install the driver kit:
./elx_lpfc_install.sh
Once the elx_lpfc_install.sh script has finished running successfully, the Emulex FC
and FCoE driver is loaded, and devices that are connected to the system are
accessible.
5. Reboot the system to enable the newly added driver options in the ramdisk. You
can also reboot the system later.
Uninstalling the Binary RPM FC and FCoE Driver Kit
Note: You must run the uninstall script that shipped with the version of the driver kit
you want to remove.
To uninstall the binary RPM FC and FCoE driver:
1. Log in as “root”.
2. If possible, exit all applications that use FC-attached drives, then unmount the
drives. If you cannot exit all applications that use FC-attached drives, the uninstall
script works properly, but you must reboot after the uninstallation is complete.
3. Run the elx_lpfc_install.sh script with the “--uninstall” option:
./elx_lpfc_install.sh --uninstall
