22.2. Using the zFCP Driver
During the initial installation, you are prompted to enter SCSI/FCP information. If this information is entered, it creates the
/etc/zfcp.conf file which contains your SCSI configuration. It also adds the line alias scsi_hostadapter zFCP to /etc/modprobe.conf. This loads the required zFCP modules.
# cat /etc/zfcp.conf 0.0.010a 0x01 0x5005076300c18154 0x00 0x5719000000000000 # cat /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth0 qeth options dasd_mod dasd=201,4b2e alias scsi_hostadapter zfcp
If no SCSI devices were defined during the initial installation, the following example demonstrates how to add one manually:
# cd /lib/modules/2.6.7-1.451.2.3/kernel/drivers/s390/scsi # modprobe zfcp # lsmod Module Size Used by zfcp 221460 0 [permanent] autofs4 39944 0 qeth 166288 0 qdio 60240 3 zfcp,qeth ccwgroup 25344 1 qeth ipt_REJECT 23552 1 ipt_state 18944 5 ip_conntrack 57904 1 ipt_state iptable_filter 19712 1 ip_tables 37888 3 ipt_REJECT,ipt_state,iptable_filter sd_mod 39688 0 scsi_mod 182904 2 zfcp,sd_mod dm_mod 86408 0 ext3 179056 2 jbd 92720 1 ext3 dasd_fba_mod 25344 0 dasd_eckd_mod 77056 4 dasd_mod 85328 6 dasd_fba_mod,dasd_eckd_mod # cd /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/zfcp/0.0.010a # echo 1 > online # cat online 1 # echo 0x5005076300c18154 > /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/zfcp/0.0.010a/port_add # ls 0x5005076300c18154 failed lic_version s_id availability fc_link_speed nameserver status card_version fc_service_class online wwnn cmb_enable fc_topology port_add wwpn cutype hardware_version port_remove detach_state host2 scsi_host_no devtype in_recovery serial_number # cd /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/zfcp/0.0.010a/0x5005076300c18154 # echo 0x5719000000000000 > unit_add # ls 0x5719000000000000 d_id in_recovery status unit_remove detach_state failed scsi_id unit_add wwnn # cat /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/zfcp/0.0.010a/scsi_host_no 0x0 # cat /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/zfcp/0.0.010a/0x5005076300c18154/scsi_id 0x1 # cat \ /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/zfcp/0.0.010a/0x5005076300c18154/0x5719000000000000/scsi_lun 0x0 # cat /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0\:0\:1\:0/hba_id 0.0.010a # cat /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0\:0\:1\:0/wwpn 0x5005076300c18154 # cat /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0\:0\:1\:0/fcp_lun 0x5719000000000000 # cat /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0\:0\:1\:0/block/dev 8:0 # cat /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0\:0\:1\:0/block/sda1/dev 8:1 # cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: IBM Model: 2105F20 Rev: .123 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 # fdisk /dev/sda # mke2fs -j /dev/sda1 # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/dasda1 2344224 1427948 797196 65% / none 511652 0 511652 0% /dev/shm /dev/dasdb1 2365444 32828 2212456 2% /opt /dev/sda1 3844088 32828 3615988 1% /mnt # cd /boot # mv initrd-2.6.7-1.451.2.3.img initrd-2.6.7-1.451.2.3.img.orig # mkinitrd -v --with=scsi_mod --with=zfcp --with=sd_mod initrd-2.6.7-1.451.2.3.img 2.6.7-1.451.2.3 Looking for deps of module ide-disk Looking for deps of module dasd_mod Looking for deps of module dasd_eckd_mod dasd_mod Looking for deps of module dasd_mod Looking for deps of module dasd_fba_mod dasd_mod Looking for deps of module dasd_mod Looking for deps of module ext3 jbd Looking for deps of module jbd Looking for deps of module scsi_mod Looking for deps of module zfcp qdio scsi_mod Looking for deps of module qdio Looking for deps of module scsi_mod Looking for deps of module sd_mod scsi_mod Looking for deps of module scsi_mod Using modules: ./kernel/drivers/s390/block/dasd_mod.ko ./kernel/drivers/s390/block/dasd_eckd_mod.ko ./kernel/drivers/s390/block/dasd_fba_mod.ko ./kernel/fs/jbd/jbd.ko ./kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.ko ./kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko ./kernel/drivers/s390/cio/qdio.ko ./kernel/drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp.ko ./kernel/drivers/scsi/sd_mod.ko Using loopback device /dev/loop0 /sbin/nash -> /tmp/initrd.cT1534/bin/nash /sbin/insmod.static -> /tmp/initrd.cT1534/bin/insmod `/lib/modules/2.6.7-1.451.2.3/./kernel/drivers/s390/block/dasd_mod.ko'-> `/tmp/initrd.cT1534/lib/dasd_mod.ko' `/lib/modules/2.6.7-1.451.2.3/./kernel/drivers/s390/block/dasd_eckd_mod.ko' -> `/tmp/initrd.cT1534/lib/dasd_eckd_mod.ko' `/lib/modules/2.6.7-1.451.2.3/./kernel/drivers/s390/block/dasd_fba_mod.ko' -> `/tmp/initrd.cT1534/lib/dasd_fba_mod.ko' `/lib/modules/2.6.7-1.451.2.3/./kernel/fs/jbd/jbd.ko' -> `/tmp/initrd.cT1534/lib/jbd.ko' `/lib/modules/2.6.7-1.451.2.3/./kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.ko' -> `/tmp/initrd.cT1534/lib/ext3.ko' `/lib/modules/2.6.7-1.451.2.3/./kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko' -> `/tmp/initrd.cT1534/lib/scsi_mod.ko' `/lib/modules/2.6.7-1.451.2.3/./kernel/drivers/s390/cio/qdio.ko' -> `/tmp/initrd.cT1534/lib/qdio.ko' `/lib/modules/2.6.7-1.451.2.3/./kernel/drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp.ko' -> `/tmp/initrd.cT1534/lib/zfcp.ko' `/lib/modules/2.6.7-1.451.2.3/./kernel/drivers/scsi/sd_mod.ko' -> `/tmp/initrd.cT1534/lib/sd_mod.ko' ...
