emulex card driver install/config in centos
43:00.0 Fibre Channel: Emulex Corporation Zephyr-X LightPulse Fibre Channel Host Adapter (rev 02)
which leads me to think that the drivers are not installed as i cannot see any ports shown.
the server is running centos 3.8 and the kernel version is 2.4.21-47.
tried to install this driver lpfc_2.4_driver_kit-7.3.6-2
is it just that it needs adding to initrd.
regards
andrew

Re: emulex card driver install/config in centos
Emulex LPFC Driver Installer Version 509
Determining distribution type and kernel version ...
Checking for old Emulex driver ...
Looking for kernel source ...
Looking for compilers ...
RPM cannot be installed: kernel version could not be determined.
so i am trying to determin ifn it is installed and if not why the error, as far as i can tell driver i have tried to load is correct.

Re: emulex card driver install/config in centos
#lsmod | grep lpfc
lpfc 352909 672
Check this script - /opt/hp/hp-lpfc/compile_all_kernels for current supported versions of the kernel.

Re: emulex card driver install/config in centos
and the driver install came from emulex site and lists driver as being for version 3.6-3.9
so still stuck i have been going through the install script and it seems that the files that the install is looking for don't exist in centos ?

Re: emulex card driver install/config in centos
KERNELVERSION=$(rpm -qf ${KERNEL_IMAGE_PATH} --qf %{VERSION}-%{RELEASE})
it works up to KERNEL_IMAGE_PATH but after that fails.
