Issue
- How can I use Emulex OneConnect Univeral Converged Network Adapter (UCNA) devices in RHEL5.4 on my HP ProLiant BL465c G7 or BL685c G7 blades?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4
-
HP ProLiant BL465c G7 or BL685c G7 blades equipped with one or more of the following Emulex OneConnect UCNA devices
-
Emulex OneConnect 10Gb NIC (PCI ID 19a2:0700)
-
Emulex OneConnect 10Gb FCoE Initiator (PCI ID 19a2:0704)
-
Resolution
-
These Emulex devices are supported in RHEL5.4 through a series of driver update disks, which are available for download here.
-
Please note that only one driver disk can be used at install time, so choose the one that best fits your needs. There is a combined be2net and lpfc driver update disk for those who need both drivers. The i386 and x86_64 architectures each have their own ISO:
- dd-be2net-lpfc-rhel5u4.i686.iso
- dd-be2net-lpfc-rhel5u4.x86_64.iso
- The be2net and lpfc drivers are also available as individual driver disks for admins who only need one of the drivers. Again, the i386 and x86_64 architectures each have their own ISO:
- dd-be2net-rhel5u4-2.101.377r-1.4.el5_4.i686.iso
- dd-be2net-rhel5u4-2.101.377r-1.4.el5_4.x86_64.iso
- dd-lpfc-rhel5u4-8.2.0.63.1p-1.4.el5_4.i686.iso
- dd-lpfc-rhel5u4-8.2.0.63.1p-1.4.el5_4.x86_64.iso
- There are also driver disk ISOs for iscsi support on the network portion of the Emulex device:
- dd-be2iscsi-2.0.527.0-i686.iso
- dd-be2iscsi-2.0.527.0-x86_64.iso
- Directions for using driver update disks can be found in chapter seven of the RHEL 5 Installation Guide, which can be found at our documentation site:
