Configuring qedi.ko
The qedi driver automatically binds to the exposed iSCSI functions of the CNA,
and the target configuration is done through the open-iscsi tools. This functionality
and operation is similar to that of the bnx2i driver.
To load the qedi.ko kernel module, issue the following commands:
#
modprobe qed
#
modprobe libiscsi
#
modprobe uio
#
modprobe iscsi_boot_sysfs
#
modprobe qedi
Verifying iSCSI Devices in Linux
After installing and loading the qedi kernel module, you must verify that the iSCSI
devices were detected correctly.
To verify iSCSI devices in Linux:
1.
To verify that the qedi and associated kernel modules were loaded, issue
the following command:
#
lsmod | grep qedi
qedi 114578 2
qed 697989 1 qedi
uio 19259 4 cnic,qedi
libiscsi 57233 2 qedi,bnx2i
scsi_transport_iscsi 99909 5 qedi,bnx2i,libiscsi
iscsi_boot_sysfs 16000 1 qedi
2.
To verify that the iSCSI devices were detected properly, issue the following
command. In this example, two iSCSI CNA devices are detected with SCSI
host numbers 4 and 5.
