1. Deploy Linux RHES 4 32bit
2. Fully up2date the host, including the kernel and check packages
a. up2date -u
b. up2date -f kernel-smp kernel-smp-devel
c. ensure the following packages are installed:
1. sysfsutils
2. sysfsutils-devel
3. udev
4. device-mapper
5. device-mapper-multipath
d. If the package isnt there, run "up2date <package name>"
REBOOT (if you haven't loaded with the new kernel)
3. Install qlogic drivers
a. copy util01:/usr/local/store/Qlogic/qlafc-linux-8.00.03-6-install.tgz to host
b. on host cd /usr/local/src
c. run "tar -xvf qlafc-linux-8.00.03-6-install.tgz"
d. cd qlafc-linux-8.00.03-6-install
e. run ./qlinstall -dp
f. things should look like this - make sure both cards are online:
OPS:rootatiadjaquidb01p qlafc-linux-8.00.03-6-install# ./qlinstall -dp
