# modprobe qla2400The command to reboot the server is:# rebootCAUTION: If the boot device is attached to the SAN, you must reboot the host.7. To verify which RPM versions are installed, use the rpm command with the -q option. Forexample:# rpm -q hp_qla2x00src# rpm –q fibreutilsUpgrading Linux componentsIf you have any installed components from a previous solution kit or driver kit, such as the qla2x00RPM, invoke the INSTALL script with no arguments, as shown in the following example:# ./INSTALLTo manually upgrade the components, select one of the following kernel distributions:• For 2.4 kernel based distributions, use version 7.xx.• For 2.6 kernel based distributions, use version 8.xx.Depending on the kernel version you are running, upgrade the driver RPM manually as follows:• For the hp_qla2x00src RPM:# rpm -Uvh hp_qla2x00src- version-revision.linux.rpm• For fibreutils RPM, you have two options:To upgrade the driver:# rpm -Uvh fibreutils-version-revision.linux.architecture.rpm◦◦ To remove the existing driver, and install a new driver:# rpm -e fibreutils# rpm -ivh fibreutils-version-revision.linux.architecture.rpmUpgrading qla2x00 RPMsIf you have a qla2x00 RPM from HP installed on your system, use the INSTALL script to upgradefrom qla2x00 RPMs. The INSTALL script removes the old qla2x00 RPM and installs the newhp_qla2x00src while keeping the driver settings from the previous installation. The script takesno arguments. Use the following command to run the INSTALL script:# ./INSTALLNOTE: IF you are going to use the failover functionality of the QLA driver, uninstall Secure Pathand reboot before you attempt to upgrade the driver. Failing to do so can cause a kernel panic.Detecting third-party storageThe preinstallation portion of the RPM contains code to check for non-HP storage. The reason fordoing this is to prevent the RPM from overwriting any settings that another vendor may be using.You can skip the detection process by setting the environmental variable HPQLAX00FORCE to yby issuing the following commands:# HPQLA2X00FORCE=y# export HPQLA2X00FORCEYou can also use the -F option of the INSTALL script by entering the following command:Linux 55
