22.2. Using the zFCP Driver


During the initial installation, you are prompted to enter SCSI/FCP information. If this information is entered, it creates the /etc/zfcp.conf file which contains your SCSI configuration. It also adds the line alias scsi_hostadapter zFCP to /etc/modprobe.conf. This loads the required zFCP modules.
# cat /etc/zfcp.conf
0.0.010a 0x01 0x5005076300c18154 0x00 0x5719000000000000

# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 qeth
options dasd_mod dasd=201,4b2e
alias scsi_hostadapter zfcp
If no SCSI devices were defined during the initial installation, the following example demonstrates how to add one manually:
# cd /lib/modules/2.6.7-1.451.2.3/kernel/drivers/s390/scsi
# modprobe zfcp

# lsmod
