Install the binary RPM containing the new driver version. Refer to the
linux-nx2 package README for instructions on how to prepare a binary
driver RPM.
3.
Use the following command to update the ramdisk:
On RHEL 6.x systems, execute:
dracut -force
On SLES11spX systems, execute:
mkinitrd
4.
If you are using different name for the initrd under /boot, be sure to overwrite
it with the default, as dracut/mkinitrd updates the ramdisk with the default
original name.
Also, verify that your appropriate entry for the boot from SAN setup uses the
correct or updated intrd name in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
5.
To complete your driver upgrade, reboot the system and select the modified
grub boot entry that contains the updated initrd.
Errors During Windows FCoE Boot from SAN Installation
If any USB flash drive is connected while Windows setup is loading files for
installation, an error message will appear when you provide the drivers and then
select the SAN disk for the installation. The most common error message that
Windows OS installer reports is “We couldn't create a new partition or locate an
existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files.”
In other cases, the error message may indicate a need to ensure that the disk's
controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu.
