4.1.1 New SPARC Platform Installation
NOTE: When installing the HBA and driver for the first time you should install the driver FIRST, and then install the
HBA into the system. This allows Solaris to correctly bind the qla2300 driver to the QLogic HBA. Failure to do so will
require an additional system reboot after the driver is loaded.
If there are QLogic HBAs already installed in the system, an additional reboot will be required if the system has the
native Solaris driver (qlc) already installed on the system. The native Solaris driver (qlc) detects and attaches to the
QLogic HBA. A reboot allows the QLogic driver to attach to the adapter first, thus preventing the native Solaris driver
from attaching to the adapter.
1. Uncompress the driver package:
uncompress qla2300.sparc_pkg.Z
2. Package add the driver:
pkgadd -d ./qla2300.sparc_pkg
3. Select the QLA2300 driver package (option 1).
4. Answer the pkgadd queries. You may relocate the driver utilities and conf file backup directories when
prompted to suit your system requirements.
5. Depending on the system configuration and HBA installation,
one of the following will apply:
❍ If the QLogic HBA(s) have not yet been installed, the driver will load but fail to attach. Shutdown the
system and install the QLogic HBA(s). When the system is rebooted, the driver attaches to the QLogic
HBA's, and the storage is then available for use. Check the /var/adm/messages file for more detailed
device and adapter information.
❍ If the QLogic HBA's were installed before the driver installation AND the native Solaris driver has
already attached to the QLogic HBA's, then a reboot of the system is required to allow the QLogic
driver to attach to the HBA.
❍ If the QLogic HBA's were installed before the driver installation and the native Solaris driver is NOT
installed on the system, then the driver will dynamically attach and a reboot of the machine is not
required for the driver attachment.
6. Please refer to the driver configuration parameters for any further customization (i.e. persistent binding), or
install the QLogic SANblade Manager, or the QLogic SANblade command line utility for configuration
assistance and HBA monitoring functionality.
4.1.2 New x86 Platform Installation
1. Uncompress the driver package:
uncompress qla2300.i386_pkg.Z
2. Package add the driver:
pkgadd -d ./qla2300.i386_pkg
3. Select the QLA2300 driver package (option 1).
4. Answer the pkgadd queries. You may relocate the driver utilities and conf file backup directories from their
default locations when prompted to better suit your system requirements.
NOTE: If you created a x86 boot device using the QLA2300 driver, a conflicting message is displayed for
several driver files -- this is expected and it is safe to accept the conflicting files to be reloaded.
5. As the QLogic HBA has not yet been installed, the driver will load but fail to attach. Shutdown the system and
install the QLogic HBA(s). When the system is rebooted, the driver attaches to the QLogic HBA's, and the
storage is available for use. You may check the /var/adm/messages file for more detailed device and adapter
information.
