2 Installing the HBAs
This chapter describes the procedure for installing the HP PCI-X 2.0 single-port and dual-port HBAs,
including:
•
Installation prerequisites, page 13
• Installation procedure, page 14
Refer to your host documentation for installing the HBA.
WARNING!
Disconnect the host from the power source before installing the HBA. To reduce the risk of personal injury
from hot surfaces, allow the internal server or workstation components to cool before touching.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure you are properly grounded
before beginning this procedure as described in "Regulatory compliance and safety" on page 25.
Installation prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
• An optical multimode cable with an LC-style duplex connector
• An empty 64-bit PCI-X slot
• The following unique information that is located on the bottom of the HBA:
•Serialnumber
• WorldWide Port Name (WWPN) and Node Name (NN), each of which is derived from the
HBA’s IEEE address. Combined, the WWPN and NN create the WorldWide Name (WWN)
that uniquely identifies an HBA in the Fibre Channel environment.

3 Installing and configuring the
Linux driver
This chapter provides instructions for installing the Linux qla2xxx driver (xxx is the kit date string) for the
PCI-X 2.0 single-port and dual-port HBAs on an already installed Red Hat™ Enterprise Linux (Red Hat EL)
or SUSE™Linux Enterprise Server (SUSE SLES) system.
You can obtain the software kit for the driver from the following HP web site:
h
ttp://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure.html.
To install the driver, you must be familiar with the operating system under which the HBA is to operate,
and have access to standard system documentation.
To install the driver, use the procedures and information in the following sections:
• Prerequisites, page 17
• Installing the driver kit,page17
•
Using the RPM,page18
•

Installing the driver kit
HP recommends that you install the complete driver kit for these HBAs. The kit contains the driver and
utilities you need to deploy these HBAs on Linux.
NOTE:
You must install the gcc compiler and the kernel sources or kernel development packages on your
system before installing the driver kit.
To install the complete HP driver kit, copy the .gz file to your system and enter the following commands:
# tar -zxvf hp_qla2x00-xxx.tar.gz

Using the RPM
The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a package management system that lets you easily install Linux
software. Using RPM, you can install software in prebuilt bundles called RPM packages.
This section is included for reference only. See this section for future separate RPM installations you
may need.
For example:
• To install the RPM, copy the RPM package file to your system and enter the following command:
# rpm -ivh pa
• To manually install the Linux HBA driver RPM, enter the following command:
# rpm -ivh hp_qla2xxx.rpm
• To upgrade
•ForRedHatEL,enter:
# rpm -Uvh --nopostun --nopreun package_name.rpm
• For SUSE SL
# rpm -Uvh package_name.rpm
• To uninstall the RPM package, enter the following command:
# rpm -e pa
ckage_name.rpm
the RPM, copy the RPM package file to your system and enter the following command:
ES:
ckage_name.rpm
Installing the fibreutils RPM
HP recommends installing the fibreutils RPM found in the driver kit. It contains useful utilities for managing
Fibre-attached storage. To manually install this RPM, enter the following command:
# rpm -ivh fibreutils-version.rpm
Changing driver parameters

Starting the Configuration protocol
To configure the HBA on Linux, access the Configuration protocol as follows:
1. Use the fibreutils RPM package to obtain efiutil (efiutil.efi) and the auxiliary driver, as
described in "Installing the fibreutils RPM" on page 18.
2. Power on the server to the EFI shell.
3. Start efiutil as follows (the auxiliary driver is automatically loaded if it is needed):
a. Set the drive to the boot device (for example, fs1:).
b. Change to the directory containing efiutil. For example, enter:
cd efi\qla2xxx
c. Run efiutil:
efiutil.efi
Enter Help at any time for information about commands.
d. Select the HBA channel that you want to configure by selecting adapter.
e. Select configure.
4. Configure the HBA’s NVRAM by selecting the menu items for the parameters to be changed, as
described in "Using the Driver Configuration menu" on page 20.
5. Write the new configuration to NVRAM.
6. Exit the utility (select quit).
7. Reboot the system.

Smart Component using the command prompt window.
To launch the Smart Component in the command prompt window:
1. Open a command prompt window. Enter Start > Run > cmd.
2. Use the cd command to set the current directory to the folder containing the Smart Component bug
fixes for the Storport miniport driver.
3. Enter the following command:

Electrostatic discharge
To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of
the device.
To prevent e
• To avoid hand contact, transport and store products in static-safe containers.
• Keep static-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place part
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly (see
"Groundi

ng methods" on page 28).
Grounding methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or
installing static-sensitive parts:
• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis.
Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm (±10 percent) resistance in the
ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet
when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
• Use conductive field service tools.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the recommended equipment for proper grounding, have an HP-authorized
reseller install the part.
NOTE:
For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product installation, contact your
HP-authorized reseller.
