these Qlogic 2462 adapters. I think your disk array is supported out-of-the-box,
you only need to uncomment /etc/multipath.conf. Take a look at it, it's more
flexible than Qlogic failover.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

kernel-headers RPM packages installed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

drivers, so your issue with compiling the Qlogic driver is more likely to
be resolved by searching qlogic.com knowledge base.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

with Qlogic driver instalation,<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I have lustre installed on a CENTOS or rocks system
<DIV>right now i am trying to install the vendor qlogic drivers so i can
enable failover mode. </DIV>
<DIV>right now i have two block devices for each lun</DIV>
<DIV>ie /dev/sdr and /dev/sdai point to the same LUM on a 6141
array </DIV>
<DIV>there are two things that i have noticed the Lustre kernel sources seem
to have broken links </DIV>
<DIV>the kernel-2.6 link points to a non existant directory </DIV>
<DIV>also the install of the qlogic driver fails. </DIV>
<DIV>i am hoping that someone else has run iinto this problem, i am using
pretty comon HW </DIV>
<DIV>this is a QEM2462 FC card </DIV>
<DIV>and a sun 6240 blade. </DIV>
<DIV>here is the error i get. </DIV>
