This section describes how to install the Linux QLA2xxx driver.

NOTE: HP does not support building the HBA driver from source code.

To install the Linux driver:

  1. Access the driver:

    1. Go to the HP website: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure/hba.html

    2. Select the HBA from the Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters list.

    3. Click Software & Drivers.

      The web page for your HBA appears.

    4. Select a Linux operating system.

    5. In the Driver Storage Controllers — FC HBA section, click Download.

    6. Save the .tar.gz file to your system.

      NOTE: The driver versions for kernel-based distributions list as follows:

      • Driver 7.x for the 2.4 kernel

      • Driver 8.x for the 2.6 kernel

  2. Install the driver:

    1. Copy the .tar.gz file to the servers on which you will deploy the updated driver.

    2. Enter the following command:

      tar zxvf hp-qla2x00-yyyy-mm-dd.tar.gz

      The command unpacks the files in the driver kit to the hp-qla2x00–yyyy-mm-dd directory.

    3. Change to the hp-qla2x00–yyyy-mm-dd directory.

    4. Enter the following command:
