Ibm Iscsi Server Adapter Driver Installation - IBM TotalStorage DS300 Best Practices Manual

7.6.3 IBM iSCSI Server Adapter driver installation

Before using the IBM iSCSI Server Adapter in SLES9, download the latest driver
from the DS300 support page:
http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/disk/ds300/
Note: For this setup we used a beta version of the qla4xxx driver as the initial
version of Kernel 2.6 drivers for the IBM iSCSI Server Adapter were not
available at the time of writing this book. The version number of the released
qla4xxx driver for Kernel 2.6 will differ.
Follow these steps to install the driver:
1. Download the current driver from the DS300 support page.
2. Extract the files from download file using tar xzf <DRIVERFILE>
3. Change to the directory containing the source files. The directory name is the
version number of the driver.
4. Build the driver using ./extras/build.sh.
5. Install the driver using ./extras/buil.sd install.
6. To ensure that the driver works reboot the server and verify the driver version
using cat /proc/scsi/qla4xxx/<SCSI-HOST-NUMBER>.
Figure 7-249 on page 381 shows steps 2 - 5 in our test setup using SLES9 SP2.
