The workaround is to manually mount the installation CD. For example, if the CD was auto-mounted in /media/HpInstallx.x, issue these commands to unmount, and then remount the CD: # unmount /media/HpInstallx.x # mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom If the unmount command fails with a busy warning, make sure that all applications and consoles that could be using the CD media are closed, and then try again. 2. Change directory to the linux directory. For example, if the installation CD is mounted in /mnt/cdrom, issue the following command: # cd /mnt/cdrom/HP_SSCM/linux/ 3. Run the install_smb.sh script as follows: # ./install_smb.sh This will install the following components: • QLogic FC HBA driver (only updated on RH4, Suse 9, and RH5.2) • HP Array Configuration Utility • QLogic SANsurfer agent, QLRemote (if possible, the installation program will also start the SANsurfer agent, QLRemote) 4. If the following message appears at the end of the installation, you must restart the computer, otherwise, continue with step 6: New driver and qlremote installed but not active. For new driver and qlremote to be active either: Reboot the system (Mandatory in case of Boot From SAN) or Stop all the applications using QLogic driver. Unload QLogic driver by executing following command: # modprobe -r qla2XXX (ex. qla2300, qla2400) Reload new driver by executing following command: # modprobe -v qla2xxx Start qlremote as follows: # /etc/init.d/qlremote start Rebooting the system will automatically load new driver and start qlremote. 5. To install the Linux driver with FDMI enabled (by default, FDMI is disabled), issue the following command: # modprobe -v qla2xxx ql2xfdmienable=1 6. To verify that the installation completed, check the FC HBA driver version: a. To ensure that the driver is installed in the correct location, issue the following command: # modinfo qla2xxx The following is returned: Filename: /lib/modules/2.6.9-55.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla2xxx.ko Version: 8.02.23 653675A771C3619AEEA4E9A b. To verify that the driver is loaded, issue the following command: # lsmod | grep qla2xxx The following is returned: qla2xxx_conf 303752 qla2xxx 982688 scsi_mod 445298 1 0 qla2xxx 16 Installing, Upgrading, and Removing Simple SAN Connection Manager

Installing, Upgrading, and Removing Simple SAN Connection Manager
The workaround is to manually mount the installation CD. For example, if the CD was auto-mounted
in
/media/HpInstall
x
.
x
, issue these commands to unmount, and then remount the CD:
# unmount /media/HpInstall
x
.
x
# mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
If the
unmount
command fails with a busy warning, make sure that all applications and consoles
that could be using the CD media are closed, and then try again.
2.
Change directory to the
linux
directory. For example, if the installation CD is mounted in
/mnt/cdrom
, issue the following command:
# cd /mnt/cdrom/HP_SSCM/linux/
3.
Run the
install_smb.sh
script as follows:
# ./install_smb.sh
This will install the following components:
•
QLogic FC HBA driver (only updated on RH4, Suse 9, and RH5.2)
•
HP Array Configuration Utility
•
QLogic SANsurfer agent, QLRemote (if possible, the installation program will also start the
SANsurfer agent, QLRemote)
4.
If the following message appears at the end of the installation, you must restart the computer, otherwise,
continue with
step 6
:
New driver and qlremote installed but not active.
For new driver and qlremote to be active either:
Reboot the system (Mandatory in case of Boot From SAN)
or
Stop all the applications using QLogic driver.
Unload QLogic driver by executing following command:
# modprobe -r qla2XXX (ex. qla2300, qla2400)
Reload new driver by executing following command:
# modprobe -v qla2xxx
Start qlremote as follows:
# /etc/init.d/qlremote start
Rebooting the system will automatically load new driver and start qlremote.
5.
To install the Linux driver with FDMI enabled (by default, FDMI is disabled), issue the following
command:
# modprobe -v qla2
xxx
ql2
x
fdmienable=1
6.
To verify that the installation completed, check the FC HBA driver version:
a.
To ensure that the driver is installed in the correct location, issue the following command:
# modinfo qla2
xxx
The following is returned:
Filename: /lib/modules/2.6.9-55.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/scsi/qla2
xxx
/qla2
xxx
.ko
Version: 8.02.23 653675A771C3619AEEA4E9A
b.
To verify that the driver is loaded, issue the following command:
# lsmod | grep qla2
xxx
The following is returned:
qla2
xxx
_conf 303752 1
