To Build the Fibre Channel Driver
From the source code, you can build a qla2xxx.ko module and a qla2xxx_conf.ko module for
the host. You can then choose to load the driver manually or automatically, as described in

1.
In the directory that contains the source driver file, qla2xxx-x.yy.zz-dist.tgz, use
the commands shown in the following example.
tar -xvzf *.tgz
#
cd qlogic

#
./drvrsetup
cd qla2xxx-

is typically .ko for kernel modules (binaries)).
Build and install the driver modules from the source code by executing the

build.sh script.
#
./extras/build.sh install
This build script does the following:
■
Builds the driver .ko files.
■
Copies the .ko files to the appropriate directory: /lib/modules/2.6.../kernel/
drivers/scsi/qla2xxx
■
Adds the appropriate directive in the modprobe.conf.local to remove the
qla2xxx_conf module when unloading the qla2xxx module.
■
Updates the newly built qla2xxx_conf.ko module with any previously saved
data in /etc/qla2xxx.conf.
