Error on Install of Secure Path - QLA2300 must be loaded

Dave Mullen — Fri, 02 Apr 2004 07:52:48 GMT

System:
Redhat AS 2.1, 2.4.9-e.25smp.
Problem:

I'm attempting to Install Secure Path 3.0B on a linux system, and it's complaining because of a lack of the QLA2300. We have a QLA2200 card, is the QLA 2200 supported?

=-=-=-lease wait while we check your system...

Your system is running Red Hat AS 32bit. The kernel version is 2.4.9.
This is a valid kernel. Continuing with installation.

Dave,
the QLA2200 (1 GBit) is not supported.

Sorry, I forgot - in case you are not aware, an overview of all current fibre channel adapters is at the following link:
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure.html

Do not attempt to use an adapter with a different name, even when you know it is the same board hardware (e.g. FCA2214DC/A6826A, I think). I had a chat with a support person from HP this week and he told me that they had tried it, too and failed in certain variations. Apparently there are different parameters set in the board.
