Format of the fc_pcitable file

Page 380 highlights

5. Update the fc_pcitable file with information about the driver that you installed. The beginning of the file describes the syntax of the entries in the file. Be sure to review this information. The end of the file contains uncommented lines that specify the hardware installed on your system. Following is an example: # Adapters found on this system: 0x1077 0x2300 qla2300 scsi/qla2x00-6.06.10 "" QLogic 2300 Fibre Channel Adapter 6. Make sure that the third field is the name of the driver (without the .o or .ko). Replace the fourth field with the absolute path to the driver that was loaded. Following is an example of the edited line. Note that this is just an example; your driver may be installed in a different location. # Adapters found on this system: 0x1077 0x2300 qla2300_new /lib/modules//kernel/ drivers/scsi "" EMC approved QLogic 2300 Fibre Channel Adapter 7. Verify that the new driver loads correctly: # /etc/init.d/pmxs load 8. Enable the HP Scalable NAS startup script. Type this command: # /sbin/chkconfig --add pmxs 9. Start HP Scalable NAS: # /etc/init.d/pmxs start All nodes in the cluster must be updated to use the new HBA driver. NOTE: The /etc/hba.conf file must point to the correct hbaapi library. Format of the fc_pcitable file The fc_pcitable file contains entries only for the drivers installed on your system. By default, the entries in the file are commented out, as indicated by the comment character (#). The file is used only if you add a new entry to the file or modify a default entry (by removing the comment character and then changing the appropriate values). Each line in the file contains six fields, as shown in the following example for the default qla2x00 driver: 380 SAN maintenance

5.
Update the
fc_pcitable
file with information about the driver that you installed.
The beginning of the file describes the syntax of the entries in the file. Be sure
to review this information. The end of the file contains uncommented lines that
specify the hardware installed on your system. Following is an example:
# Adapters found on this system:
0x1077 0x2300 qla2300 scsi/qla2x00-6.06.10 "" QLogic 2300
Fibre Channel Adapter
6.
Make sure that the third field is the name of the driver (without the .o or .ko).
Replace the fourth field with the absolute path to the driver that was loaded.
Following is an example of the edited line. Note that this is just an example;
your driver may be installed in a different location.
# Adapters found on this system:
0x1077 0x2300 qla2300_new /lib/modules/<kernel_ver>/kernel/
drivers/scsi "" EMC approved QLogic 2300 Fibre Channel Adapter
7.
Verify that the new driver loads correctly:
# /etc/init.d/pmxs load
8.
Enable the HP Scalable NAS startup script. Type this command:
# /sbin/chkconfig --add pmxs
9.
Start HP Scalable NAS:
# /etc/init.d/pmxs start
All nodes in the cluster must be updated to use the new HBA driver.
NOTE:
The
/etc/hba.conf
file must point to the correct hbaapi library.
