3-4 8. Click Finish to exit the installation wizard. 9. Restart the system.
3.2 Linux OS Driver Installation To install the Ethernet card driver for Linux OS: 1. Within the Linux Terminal, install the source RPM package: rpm -ivh netxtreme2-.src.rpm For Red Hat Linux: For SuSE Linux: 2. CD to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your kernel: cd /usr/src/{redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..} (For RHEL 6.
rpm -bb SPECS/netxtreme2.spec or (For RPM version 4.x.x) rpmbuild -bb SPECS/netxtreme2.spec Note that the RPM path is different for different Linux distributions. The driver will be compiled for the running kernel by default. To build the driver for a kernel different than the running one, specify the kernel by defining it in KVER: rpmbuild -bb SPECS/netxtreme2.spec --define “KVER ” in the form of 2.x.y-z is the version of another kernel that is installed on the system. 3.
rpm -ivh RPMS//netxtreme2-..
For SuSE Linux: 3-8 Chapter 3: Driver installation
rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/netxtreme2-.i386.rpm Note that the --force option may be needed on some Linux distributions if conflicts are reported. The drivers will be installed in the following path: 2.4.x kernels: /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.o /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/bnx2x.o 2.6.0 kernels: /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/bnx2x.ko 2.6.
4. Unload existing driver if necessary: rmmod bnx2 rmmod bnx2x If the cnic driver is loaded, it should also be unloaded along with dependent drivers: rmmod bnx2fc rmmod bnx2i rmmod cnic 5. Load the bnx2 driver for the BCM5706/BCM5708/5709/5716 devices: insmod bnx2.o or insmod bnx2.ko (on 2.6.x kernels) or modprobe bnx2 To load the bnx2x driver for the BCM57710/BCM57711/BCM57711E/BCM57712 devices: insmod bnx2x.o or insmod bnx2x.ko (on 2.6.x kernels) or modprobe bnx2x To load the cnic driver: insmod cnic.
insmod bnx2fc.ko or modprobe bnx2fc service bnx2fcd start Note that the inbox kernel may have an older version of bnx2, bnx2x and cnic driver. It is important for FCoE offload user to unload these inbox versions before attempting to load bnx2fc driver. You can do either of these two options: 6. a) Reboot the server.
