Solution Unverified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1
  • Express5800/R120d-2M
  • Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel Host Adapter LPe16000B/LPe16002B

Issue

  • Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel Host Adapter LPe16000B/LPe16002B on Express5800/R120d-2M is supported on RHEL6.1?

Resolution

No. The driver for the FC card is not inbox in RHEL6.1, so you have to use the FC card on RHEL6.4 or later.
Also, the combination of the machine and the FC card is shipped on x86_64 OS only, so it's not supported on x86.
