For RHEL 5 and later on x86 and x86_x64 platforms install the fc dud for an HBA, Fabric Adapter port configured in HBA mode, CNA, or Fabric Adapter port configured in CNA mode. The fc file format is brocade_fc__adapter___dud_.iso. 11. Insert the Linux Red Hat product CD #1 in the CD drive (remove the adapter driver update CD first if necessary), then press Enter. 12. Continue responding to on-screen instructions and refer to your system documentation as necessary to format and complete installation on the target boot LUN. Installing Linux (SLES 10 and later) and the driver Use the following steps to install SLES 10 and later and the adapter driver on an unformatted Fibre Channel disk configured as a bootable device. • For HBAs installed on SLES 11 on UEFI-supported systems, refer to "UEFI mode install and boot with HBAs" on page 160. For Fabric Adapter ports configured in HBA mode, refer to the following procedures. • For CNAs and Fabric Adapter ports configured in CNA mode on SLES 11 on UEFI-supported systems, refer to "UEFI mode install and boot with CNAs and Fabric Adapter ports configured in CNA mode" on page 161. If the LUN you have targeted for booting over SAN already has an operating system installed, be sure to use options for reformatting the LUN during Linux installation. Refer to your operating system documentation for details. NOTE If you are installing SLES 11 for systems with HBAs and Fabric Adapter ports configured in HBA mode only, the appropriate drivers are included with the SLES product CD, so you can ignore steps 1 through 3 in the following procedures. However, if the driver is not detected on the SLES product CD during installation, you should download the latest driver update ISO file, create a driver update disk CD or USB drive, and use this to install drivers as outlined in the following steps.
