The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a package management system that lets you easily install Linux  
software. Using RPM, you can install software in prebuilt bundles called RPM packages.  
This section is included for reference only. See this section for future separate RPM installations you  
may need.  
For example:  
To install the RPM, copy the RPM package le to your system and enter the following command:  
# rpm -ivh package_name.rpm  
To manually install the Linux HBA driver RPM, enter the following command:  
# rpm -ivh hp_qla2xxx.rpm  
To upgrade the RPM, copy the RPM package le to your system and enter the following command:  
For Red Hat EL, enter:  
# rpm -Uvh --nopostun --nopreun package_name.rpm  
For SUSE SLES:  
# rpm -Uvh package_name.rpm  
To uninstall the RPM package, enter the following command:  
# rpm -e package_name.rpm  
Changing driver parameters  
To change driver parameters:  
1. Run the set_parm script located in the /opt/hp/src… directory.  
2. Reboot the server.  
NOTE:  
You must reboot. Otherwise, the qla2xxx driver may not unload if there is a process or le  
system using a device that is attached to the HBA.  
EFI driver utilities  
The EFI driver utilities let you load the EFI drivers included with the fibreutils RPM. See the EFI driver  
information les for detailed information about using these drivers.  
Proc le system support  
The /proc le system for the qla2xxx driver is located in the /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/ directory. This  
directory contains entries for each SCSI HBA channel in the system. Each entry presents information  
about the adapter and transfer statistics for each discovered LUN.

Using Fast!UTIL  
This section provides detailed conguration information for advanced users who want to customize the  
conguration of an HBA and the connected devices.  
Use Fast!UTIL, HP’s BIOS-resident conguration tool to customize the HBA’s conguration. Access  
Fast!UTIL by pressing ALT+Q during the HBA BIOS initialization (it may take a few seconds for the Fast!  
UTIL Options menu to display). If you have more than one HBA, Fast!UTIL prompts you to select the  
HBA you want to congure. After changing the settings and exiting the utility, Fast!UTIL reboots your  
system to load the new parameters.  
CAUTION:  
If the conguration settings are incorrect, your HBA may not function properly.  
The following sections describe the Fast!UTIL options.  
Conguration Settings  
The rst selection on the Fast!UTIL Options menu is Conguration Settings. These settings congure the  
Fibre Channel devices and the HBA to which they are attached.

Electrostatic discharge  
To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the  
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a nger or other conductor may damage  
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of  
the device.  
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:  
To avoid hand contact, transport and store products in static-safe containers.  
Keep static-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.  
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.  
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly (see  
Grounding methods  
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or  
installing static-sensitive parts:  
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis.  
Wrist straps are exible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm (±10 percent) resistance in the  
ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.  
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet  
when standing on conductive oors or dissipating oor mats.  
Use conductive eld service tools.  
Use a portable eld service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.  
If you do not have any of the recommended equipment for proper grounding, have an HP-authorized  
reseller install the part.  
NOTE:  
For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product installation, contact your  
HP-authorized reseller.
