or
modprobe bnx2i
To load the bnx2fc driver for BCM57712 device:
insmod bnx2fc.ko
or
modprobe bnx2fc
service bnx2fcd start
Note that the inbox kernel may have an older version of bnx2, bnx2x and cnic
driver. It is important for FCoE offload user to unload these inbox versions
before attempting to load bnx2fc driver. You can do either of these two
options:
a) Reboot the server.
b) If already loaded, unload inbox bnx2, bnx2x, cnic drivers, and load the
newly installed version from netxtreme2-foce package using ‘modprobe
’
• Driver upgrade (rpm -Uvh) is not supported.
• On SLES 11, change “allow_unsupported_modules” parameter value of
/etc/modprobe.d/unsupport-modules’ from 0 to 1, until bnx2fc driver is
inbox. Failing to do so will not load bnx2fc.
6. To configure the network protocol and address, refer to various Linux
documentations.
