4.3 QLogic FC-IP Driver

4.3.1 Installing the QLogic FC-IP Driver

1. Login to your Solaris system as root.

2. Locate the first instance number of the qla2300 driver used for FC-IP installed. If the instance number is

other than zero, then FC-IP driver configuration file needs to be changed from the default. Change the

instance number to match that of the qla2300 driver.

File: q3ip.conf

name="q3ip" parent="pseudo" instance=0;

3. Type the following command to add the driver to Solaris:

add_drv q3ip

This completes the FC-IP Driver Installation.

4.3.2 Configuring the QLogic FC-IP Driver

Decide which instance number of the QLogic HBA adapter driver you want to run IP on. This is used to plumb the IP.

In the following examples adapter HBA instance 0 is used.

Type the following commands to plumb the IP:

devfsadm

ifconfig q3ip0 plumb

A hostname file can be created in the /etc directory for the QLogic FC-IP driver. It contains the hostname given to the

host that the QLogic FC-IP is connected to. Note that this name must have a corresponding IP address in the /etc/

hosts file that is a different subnet than other ethernet adapters on the system.

hostname.q3ip0

Restart the system -- reboot with the -r option

5. Removing the Driver

The driver's "Dynamic Unload" (or "no-reboot driver") functionality was introduced with the 4.15 driver, which allows

the driver to be unloaded from the system without requiring a system reboot. Previous driver versions (i.e., 4.14 and

earlier), still require a reboot in order to remove them from the system memory.

5.1 Package Pre-Removal

Previous versions of the driver must be removed before the new driver is installed.

The QLogic HBA driver package can be removed by the 'pkgrm' command as follows:

1. Login as root.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 23 24
