Install and Upgrade Sun PCIe Dual-Port FC EM Drivers

If you are using the current releases of Solaris 10, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Enterprise Linux, and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating systems, the bundled drivers will support basic Sun PCI Express (PCIe) Dual-Port Fibre Channel (FC) ExpressModule (EM) operation. You should not need to update your OS-specific drivers.

Note

Consult the Sun Blade 8000 Series Product Notes for the most recent information about operating system support and EM driver support.

Installing Drivers

If you are installing Solaris 10, RHEL, SUSE, or Microsoft Windows software for the first time on a Sun Blade Server Module, you do not need to install additional drivers for the FC EM. To get more information from Sun and QLogic about driver updates, see the following sites:
