Installing and Configuring the QLogic HBA and v8.x-Series Driver
Additional notes
Device reconfiguration: procedures
The Linux v2.6.x kernel lacks a command built into the kernel that
allows for a dynamic SCSI bus reconfiguration such as drvconfig or
ioscan.
The SCSI bus may be rescanned with a system reboot, or with a
removal and reinsertion of the modular driver. In either case, all I/O
must be stopped and all other mounted filesystems must be
unmounted before rebooting or removing the modular driver.
Note: In the Linux v2.6.x kernel, the HBA numbers will increment in the
/proc filesystem with each re-insertion of the QLogic driver.
Rebooting the host
Rebooting the host allows for reliable detection of newly added
devices. The host may be rebooted after all I/O has stopped.
Unloading and reloading the modular QLogic driver
◆ Stop all I/O.
◆ Unmount all file systems attached to the QLogic driver.
◆ f the Naviagent/CLI is installed and enabled on the host, then the
Naviagent/CLI service must be stopped.
To stop the Naviagent/CLI service, issue one of the two following
commands:
/etc/init.d/naviagentcli stop
or
service naviagentcli stop
◆ If PowerPath is installed and enabled on the host, then the
PowerPath service must be stopped.
To stop the PowerPath service, issue one of the two following
commands:
