Driver Software for Linux OSs
The Sun StorageTek 4 Gb FC NEM 20-Port HBA is supported by Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (RHEL) 4 U3 and U4 and Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 Service Pack
3 (SLES9-SP3).
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
The HBA driver distributed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 U3 and U4
supports the NEM. No additional driver updates are required.
Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
The HBA driver distributed with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 Service Pack 3
(SLES9-SP3) has the following known problems:
■ The HBA driver does not recognize the NEM device and will prevent it from
loading.
■ A system panic occurs when the HBA driver is unloaded.
To resolve these problems, update to the Emulex driver version 8.0.16.27 as
described in the next section.
▼ To Update the Driver
1. Run /sbin/update-pciids.
This command uploads the latest database which contains all supported PCI
devices by Linux, including the NEM.
