Adapter driver installation verification 2 • For CNAs and Fabric Adapter ports configured in CNA or NIC mode, when you expand Network adapters, an instance of Brocade 10G Ethernet Adapter should also display for each port installed. For example, if two two-port CNAs (total of four ports) are installed, four instances of the adapter model display (two under SCSI and RAID controllers and two under Network adapters). As another example, if only one port on a Fabric Adapter is configured in CNA or NIC mode, two instances of the adapter model display (one under SCSI and RAID controllers and one under Network adapters). If instances of your adapter model do not display, but generic instances flagged with yellow question marks do display under Other Devices, the driver is not installed. For example, Fibre Channel Controller may display as a generic instance for an HBA or Fabric Adapter port configured in HBA mode. 2. Right-click the Brocade adapter model where you are installing the driver. 3. Select Properties to display the Properties dialog box. 4. Click the Driver tab to display the driver date and version. Click Driver Details for more information. NOTE If driver is not installed, try re-installing the driver or re-installing the adapter hardware and then the driver. Confirming driver package installation in Linux systems Verify if the adapter driver installed successfully using the following commands: • # rpm -qa|grep -i bfa This command prints the names of the Brocade adapter storage driver package (bfa) if installed. • # rpm -qa|grep -i bna This command prints the names of the Brocade adapter network driver package (bfa) if installed. • # lspci This utility displays information about all PCI buses in the system and all devices connected to them. Fibre Channel: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. displays for an HBA or Fabric Adapter port configured in HBA mode. Fibre Channel: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. and Ethernet Controller display for a CNA or Fabric Adapter port configured in CNA or NIC mode if driver packages have correctly loaded. • # lsmod This command displays information about all loaded modules. If bfa appears in the list, the storage driver is loaded to the system. If bna appears in the list, the network driver is loaded to the system. • # dmesg This command prints kernel boot messages. Entries for bfa (storage driver) and bna (network driver) should display to indicate driver activity if the hardware and driver are installed successfully.
