Upgrading Linux Components - HP StorageWorks 4400 Installation Manual

4. Change directory to the hp_qla2x00-yyyy-mm-dd directory.
5. Execute the INSTALL command.
The INSTALL command syntax varies depending on your configuration. If a previous driver kit
is installed, you can invoke the INSTALL command without any arguments:
To use the currently loaded configuration:
# ./INSTALL
To force the installation to failover mode, use the -f flag:
# ./INSTALL -f
To force the installation to single-path mode, use the -s flag:
# ./INSTALL -s
To list all supported arguments, use the -h flag:
# ./INSTALL -h
The INSTALL script installs the appropriate driver RPM for your configuration, as well as the
appropriate fibreutils RPM. Once the INSTALL script is finished, you will either have to reload
the QLogic driver modules (qla2xxx, qla2300, qla2400, qla2xxx_conf) or reboot your server.
The commands to reload the driver are:
# /opt/hp/src/hp_qla2x00src/unload.sh
# modprobe qla2xxx_conf
# modprobe qla2xxx
# modprobe qla2300
# modprobe qla2400
The command to reboot the server is:
# reboot
CAUTION:
If the boot device is attached to the SAN, you must reboot the host.
To verify which RPM versions are installed, use the rpm command with the -q option. For example:
# rpm -q hp_qla2x00src
# rpm –q fibreutils

Upgrading Linux components

If you have any installed components from a previous solution kit or driver kit such as the qla2x00
RPM, invoke the INSTALL script with no arguments, as shown in the following example:
# ./INSTALL
To manually upgrade the components, select one of the following kernel distributions:
• For 2.4 kernel based distributions, use version 7.xx.
• For 2.6 kernel based distributions, use version 8.xx.
Depending on the kernel version you are running, upgrade the driver RPM manually as follows:
• For the hp_qla2x00src RPM:
# rpm -Uvh hp_qla2x00src- version-revision .linux.rpm
• For fibreutils RPM, you have two options:
