Required Kernel v2.4.x Modifications
2-33
Installing and Configuring the HBA and Driver
k_smp-2.4.19-304
or
rpm -q kernel-source
kernel-source-2.4.19.SuSE-304
The files /etc/SuSE-release and /etc/UnitedLinux-release, as
well as
uname -r do show what OS is installed, but do not indicate
the kernel errata that is installed. You will need to use the
rpm -q
command in order to determine the kernel errata you are running.
Applying a Patch
To apply the patch:
1. Create a directory in which the patch will reside:
mkdir /home/patches
2. To download either patch from the EMC FTP site, use a web
browser to access
ftp://ftp.emc.com/pub/elab/linux or use
FTP to directly access
ftp.emc.com.
3. Log in to the site using a user name of
anonymous and your e-mail
address as the password.
4. Save the appropriate patch to the local directory you created.
5. Change to the directory from which the patch will be applied:
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.19.SuSE
6. Apply the patch for SLES 8 SP2a:
patch -p1 < /home/patches/rev1_sles8sp2a.patch
What Next?
Proceed to Configuring and Compiling the Kernel on page 2-51.
(CLARiiON Only) Required /etc/modules.conf Edit for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1
and 3.0 and SLES 8.0 Default Modular Kernels
Red Hat and SuSE have added a parameter to the SCSI stack
(
scsi_scan.c file) to allow for devices marked as offline to be accessi-
ble. The
scsi_allow_ghost_devices parameter eliminates the need
to apply the
linux-2.4.x-scsi_scan.patch to hosts attached to the
CLARiiON storage array running any of these distribution releases.
For RHEL, the max_scsi_luns parameter must also be enabled in
