Installing a QLogic adapter and driver on the Sun host

This section describes how you install a QLogic adapter and download and configure the adapter driver for a Sun host.

1. Shutdown your host system.
2. Insert the QLogic adapter into a PCI or SBUS slot on your host.
3. Connect the cable to the adapter and to the DS6000™ or switch port that you configured for the host adapter. If you have not configured host adapter ports on your DS6000, see Host configuration through the DS Storage Manager.
4. Restart the system.
5. Use the instructions in Downloading and installing a host adapter driver to download the QLogic driver for your adapter.
6. Install the QLogic host adapter driver package:
   1. Locate the package image file qlaxxxx.Z that you downloaded in step 5.
   2. Log in to your Solaris system as root.
   3. Type cd/tmp to change the directory to a temporary directory.
   4. Type the following command to copy the compressed package file to the /tmp directory:cp <source directory>/qlaxxxx.Z,

      where <source directory> is the directory where the compressed package file resides after downloading the driver.

   5. Type the following command to uncompress the package file: uncompress qlaxxxx.Z
      Note: You must use an upper case Z when you specify the file name.
   6. Transfer the QLogic driver package to a diskette before you use the package to install the adapter drivers. Use the following procedure to create a diskette that contains the QLogic driver package:
      1. Type /etc/init.d/volmgt stop to stop the volume manager.
      2. Type dd if=qlaxxxx of=/dev/rdiskette0 to transfer the image file.
