This RPM provides a customer friendly approach to install a pre-built binary drivers. Enhancements: * Reinitialize Cmnd->SCp.sent_command (used to identify commands as passthrus) on calling scsi_done, since the scsi mid layer does not use (or reinitialize) this field to prevent subsequent comands from having it set incorrectly. * Revise driver to use new kernel 2.4.x PCI DMA API, instead of virt_to_bus(). (enables driver to work in systems with >2Gb RAM.) * Rework main scatter-gather code to handle cases where SG element lengths are larger than 0x7FFFF bytes and use as many scatter gather pages as necessary, limited by available kernel memory. * Makefile changes to bring cpqfc into line w/ rest of SCSI drivers (thanks to Keith Owens) * Reject non-existent luns in the driver rather than letting the hardware do it. (some HW behaves differently than others in this area.) * Change Makefile to rely on “make dep” instead of explicit dependencies ifdef’ed out fibre channel analyzer triggering debug code * Fix a jiffies wrapping issue * Incorporate fix for target device reset from Steeleye * Fix passthrough ioctl so it doesn’t hang. * Fix hang in launch_FCworker_thread() that occurred on some machines. * Avoid problem when number of volumes in a single cabinet > 8 * Change the semiphore changes so the driver would compile in 2.4.7. * Merge version 1.3.6 fixes into version 2.0.0. * Fix problem so spinlock is being initialized to UNLOCKED. * Fix updated driver so it compiles in the 2.4 tree. * Add Target_Device_Reset function for SCSI error handling * Fix problem with not resetting addressing mode after implicit logout A changelog for the Linux FC drivers is available at: ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/drivers/linux/released/cpqfc/cpqfc_history.htm IMPORTANT: Additional instructions may be viewed: rpm -q -i -p cpq_cpqfc_SuSESLES7-2.1.1-1.rpm | more Please read this section before proceeding. This RPM will install binary drivers that will only work with the default SuSE-SLES7 kernel version and configuration that they have been built for. Earlier or later versions of SuSE Linux are not supported. Special actions are required if you have modified the default kernel configuration that SuSE ships for their SLES7 product. If you have modified the default kernel configuration you will need to rebuild the kernel to use the updated drivers after installing the RPM with the --noscripts option. For directions to patch the existing driver and rebuild your kernel please refer to the SuSE documentation. The driver patches will be available in a gzipped tar file in the /opt/compaq/storage_drivers directory after installing the RPM with the --noscripts option. The RPM will not install if it detects that your configuration is different than the SuSE-SLES7 stock configuration. HOW TO USE: 1. Login as the system administrator (root), download the RPM to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. 2. To install the driver type: # rpm -ivh cpq_cpqfc_SuSESLES7-2.1.1-1.i386.rpm You can expect to see a message similar to: # rpm -ihv cpq_cpqfc_SuSESLES7-2.1.1-1.i386.rpm cpq_cpqfc_SuSESLES7 ##################################################Attempting dry run first... ./install --drivers cpqfc --lilo --initrd --noskip --dry-run ---> THIS IS A DRY RUN <--- LILO_CONF = /etc/lilo.conf Kernel image is vmlinuz mkdir -p /usr/src/COMPAQ/driver_backup Installing cpqfc for 2.4.7-64GB-SMP kernel... cp -p ./lib/modules/2.4.7-64GB-SMP/kernel/drivers/scsi/cpqfc.o /./lib/modules/2.4.7-64GB-SMP/kernel/drivers/scsi/cpqfc.o done mk_initrd -k vmlinuz -i cpq-initrd-2.4.7-64GB-SMP.img Modifying /tmp/lilofile.4066, adding cpq-2.4.7-64 Testing lilo configuration (/sbin/lilo -t).

Please REBOOT Your Computer NOW!! NOTE: If the installation fails or if you see any warning or error messages, STOP, do NOT reboot the computer. The driver will not be operational and you must uninstall the driver by typing the following command: # rpm -e cpq_cpqfc_SuSESLES7-2.1.1-1 The removal of the RPM restores the original cpqfc.o module, builds a new initrd image with the previous (or no) module, and adds a new entry into /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst. You can then boot using the newest entry, or a prior known working entry. The successful installation will replace the driver that shipped with SuSE-SLES7 with the 2.1.1 version of the driver, create a new Initial RAM Disk Image (initrd) that contains the 2.1.1 version of the driver and modify /etc/lilo.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst) to allow the Linux Loader, lilo, (or grub) to boot using the new ramdisk image. The installation of this RPM modifies the following files: /etc/lilo.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst) /etc/lilo.conf.bak-* (backup files) /boot/grub/menu.lst.bak-* (backup files) /boot/cpq-initrd-*.img-* (initrd images) /lib/modules/2.4.7-64GB-SMP/kernel/drivers/scsi/cpqfc.o Backups of your previous files will be kept in the /usr/src/COMPAQ/driver_backup directory. The driver version can be verified by typing: # grep version /proc/scsi/cpqfcTS/* Expect output similar to: Driver version = 2.1.1 3. The driver will be inserted in the Initial RAM Disk Image (initrd) and is automatically loaded every time the server boots. 4. To load the module use the insmod command. Type: # insmod cpqfc Expect the following output: Using /lib/modules/2.4.7-64GB-SMP/kernel/drivers/scsi/cpqfc.o NOTE: You will experience error messages if the Compaq's 64-bit/66MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter is not installed. Please ensure that the hardware is installed properly. NOTE: If the hardware is properly installed and you observe error messages loading the modules, remove the entire RPM by typing: # rpm -e cpq_cpqfc_SuSESLES7-2.1.1-1 The removal of the RPM restores the original cpqfc.o module, builds a new initrd image with the previous (or no) module, and adds a new entry into /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst. You can then boot using the newest entry, or a prior known working entry. 5. To check whether the driver is loaded properly, type # lsmod Expect to see the module name cpqfc displayed 6. If you attempt to install the RPM on an unsupported system, you will get an error message. The driver will not be operational and must be uninstalled by typing the following command: # rpm -e cpq_cpqfc_SuSESLES7-2.1.1-1 7. Uninstalling the driver: 1) Uninstall using RPM by typing # rpm -e cpq_cpqfc_SuSESLES7-2.1.1-1 Expect to see output similar to: # rpm -e cpq_cpqfc_SuSESLES7-2.1.1-1 Attempting dry run first... ---> THIS IS A DRY RUN <--- LILO_CONF = /etc/lilo.conf Kernel image is vmlinuz mkdir -p /usr/src/COMPAQ/driver_backup Uninstalling /lib/modules/2.4.7-64GB-SMP/kernel/drivers/scsi/cpqfc.o mv /lib/modules/2.4.7-64GB-SMP/kernel/drivers/scsi/cpqfc.o /tmp/cpqfc.o.old.4348 rm -f /tmp/cpqfc.o.old.4348 mk_initrd -k vmlinuz -i cpq-initrd-2.4.7-64GB-SMP.img-0 Modifying /tmp/lilofile.4348, adding cpq-2.4.7-64-0 Testing lilo configuration (/sbin/lilo -t).
