PSP Tools HBA Driver won't install. FCA2214/FCA2214DC

When I'm installing my support pack, i get to the following screen:


Preparing to install HP StorageWorks FCA2214/FCA2214DC FC HBA Driver for 2.6.x Kernels v8.01.06.01-8

This RPM provides the HP supported version of the QLogic
Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter driver. It is a scripted RPM
that will build the driver from source code contained in the
RPM, copy the driver files to the correct directories, and
edit the system startup files so that the driver starts at
system boot time.
This version of the driver RPM only works with 2.6 kernels.



Files necessary to complete the installation of the HP StorageWorks FCA2214/FCA2214DC FC HBA Driver for 2.6.x Kernels were not found!

The HP Linux Support Deployment Utility has the capability to access necessary files on a remote server via NFS.

I fixed this by making sure the following RPM's are installed:

- gcc-2.96-108.1 or later
- cpp-2.96-108.1 or later
- binutil-2.11.90.0.8 or later
- glibc-devel-2.2.4-26 or later

Shalom,

PSP 7.90 is supposed to provide any needed rpms at installation.

It would appear you have found a flaw. Were you using psp 7.90 or an earlier version?

Steven,
This is not a flaw. The PSP documentation states that build environment RPMs must be selected during installation. If the build environment selections are made, the PSP will add any other necessary RPMs needed to install the HP Value-add software included in the PSP.

Try and load this driver first. Hopefully then it will find the data it is looking for and complete.

Hi Michael,

Forgive the drift in the thread.

I wasn't pointing out a flaw. I was stating that my experience is PSP checks and offers the user the chance to install needed rpms.
