Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 6) seems to be integrated with driver for QLA2342 ? However, vendor suggest us to install Qlogic OEM driver 7.07.00-3 for the QLA2342. <A HREF="http://support.qlogic.com/support/oem_product_detail.asp?p_id=255&oemid=65&oemname=QLA2342">http://support.qlogic.com/support/oem_product_detail.asp?p_id=255&oemid=65&oemname=QLA2342</A> By comparing two machines w/o & w OEM driver installed: <UL><UL> [root@hpfsapp1]# lsmod | grep qla qla2300 599356 0 scsi_mod 115756 4 [sg megaraid2 qla2300 sd_mod] [root@hpfsapp1]# [root@hpfsapp1 root]# rpm -qa | grep -i qla [root@hpfsapp1 root]# [root@hpfsapp2]# lsmod | grep qla qla2200_conf 301656 0 (autoclean) qla2300 599356 3 scsi_mod 115756 3 [sg emcp megaraid2 qla2300 sd_mod] [root@hpfsapp2]# [root@hpfsapp2]# rpm -qa | grep -i qla qla2x00-v7.07.00-1 [root@hpfsapp2]# </UL></UL> Question: Does this OEM driver 7.07.00-3 really required in my environment ?
