| 6. modprobe bnx2fc <vlan_id> [default is 4] |
| |
| [NOTE] 1. If bnx2fc rpm fails to install due to conflict with previosly installed |
| bnx2x driver, remove it by running 'rpm -e bnx2x' |
| |
| 2. If bnx2x driver fails to load due to dependency with crc32c, manually run |
| - modprobe crc32c |
| - modprobe bnx2x |
| 3. If there is a firmware loading error during system boot up after installing |
| the kernel and bnx2fc drivers, install the firmware rpm as well. |
| rpm -Uvh kernel-firmware-2.6.32.fcoe.next-5.bcm.x85_64.rpm |
| |
| Current Limitations: |
| ==================== |
| 1. No PFC/DCBx |
| 2. Upstread Only Release (This is not the driver that can be directly installable on RHEL5.4 kernel) |
| |
| Debug Data to collect in case of failure: |
| ========================================= |
| 1. syslog (/var/log/messages) |
| 2. uname -a output |
| 3. grcDump (for FW asserts) |
