Symmetrix Fibre Channel with Qlogic HBAs on Linux Hosts
Arbitrated Loop Configurations
5. Compile the kernel:
make dep
make clean
make install
make modules
make modules_install
cd /boot
6. Build a ramdisk image:
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-$1.img $1
(where $1 is the kernel version)
For example:
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.17.img 2.2.17
The mkinitrd command is used to create a new ramdisk image and is
dependent upon the loopback device being available. If the loopback
driver is selected in the kernel as a module, ensure that it is loaded with
#lsmod. If the loopback driver was not loaded, insert it with #insmod
loop.
7. Run lilo to update the loading map and reboot:
lilo -v
reboot
Kernel Upgrade For a kernel upgrade, install Linux from the Red Hat v6.2 CD,
following the procedure in the installation guide. Partition the boot
drive and select the packages and services necessary for the host. The
host can be upgraded from Red Hat v6.2 or Red Hat v7.0 to up to
v2.2.17 of the Linux kernel.
To upgrade the host to a newer version of the kernel, the kernel must
be downloaded, from: http://www.kernel.org/mirrors/.
1. Prepare the host for the new version of the kernel:
cd /usr/src
rm -f linux
2. Untar the kernel and create a directory for it:
tar zxvf linux-$1.tar.gz
mv linux linux-$1
ln -s linux-$1 linux
cd linux
(where $1 is the kernel version)
