HP StorageWorks 3000/5000 Enterprise Virtual Array connectivity for Linux installation and reference guide (5697-7041, November 2007)

Compiling the driver for multiple installed kernels

If your system has multiple kernels installed on it, you can compile the driver for all the i nstalled kernels

by setting the I

NSTALLALLKERNELS environmental variable to y and exporting it by issuing the

following comm

ands:

# INSTALLALLKERNELS=y

# export INSTALLALLKERNELS

You can also use

the -a option of the INSTALL script by entering the following command:

# ./INSTALL -a

Uninstalling the Linux components

To uninstall the comp onents, you can use the INSTALL script with the -u option as shown in the

following example:

# ./INSTALL -u

If you want to manually uninstall all the components or you want to uninstall just one of the components,

use one or all of the following commands:

# rpm -e fibreutils

# rpm -e hp_qla2x00

# rpm -e hp_qla2x00src

Using the source RPM

In some cases, you may have to build a binary hp_qla2x00 RPM from the source RPM and use that

manual binary build in place of the scripted hp_qla2x00src RPM.Youneedtodothisifyour

If you n e ed to build a binary RPM to install, you will need a development machine with the sam e kernel

as your targeted production servers. You can install the binary RPM-produced RPM methods on your

production s

ervers.

NOTE:

ThebinaryRPMthatyoubuildworksonlyforthatkernelandconﬁguration that you build on (and

possibly some errata kernels). Ensure that you use the 7.xx version of the hp_qla2x00 source RPM

for 2 .4 kernel-based distributions and the 8.xx version of the hp_qla2x00 source RPM for 2.6

kernel-based distributions.

UsethefollowingproceduretocreatethebinaryRPMfromthesourceRPM:

1. Install the source RPM by issuing the following command:

# rpm -ivh hp_qla2x00-version-revision.src.rpm

2. Choose from one of the following directories depending upon your Linux distribution:

• For Red H at distributions, enter the following comma nd:

cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS

• For SuSE distributions, enter the following command:

cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS

3. Build the RPM by using the following command:

# rpmbuild -bb hp_qla2x00.spec
