Downloading the Oracle Linux,
Red Hat, or SUSE Linux Drivers
This section describes how to download the FCoE driver for
the Converged Network Adapter.
To Download the FCoE Driver
- Go
to the Oracle support area of the QLogic web site at:
http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/QLogicDriverDownloads_UI/Oracle_Search.aspx
- Locate the table containing your
model number.
- At the bottom of the table, in
the Software for: row, click Linux.
- Navigate to the table for your
specific OS, and find the appropriate driver (the file name is in
the format ql2xxx-src-vu.vv.ww.xx.yy.zz.tar.gz,
where yy and zz represent
the OS version of the driver (for example 11.0 for SLES 11).
Note - Oracle Linux, RHEL 5.9 and later, and SLES 11 SP2 and
later have Converged Network Adapter driver support in the distro;
driver download is not required.
- Click the driver version that
you want to download, read through the software license agreement,
and click I Agree to continue with the download.
- Save the file to a directory
on the hard disk of the system.
Note - Because the driver distribution file is now larger than
1.44 MB, it cannot fit on a 1.44MB floppy disk; therefore, you must
use a USB drive or local hard disk to download the file.
