[rhn-users] Does Linux 3 Update 6 require extra QLA2342 driver from qlogic we b

[CHENG, Chi Hung]

Hi 

Our Dell2850 contain one QLA2342 which connect to Clariion CX600.
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.
http://support.qlogic.com/support/oem_product_detail.asp?p_id=255&oemid=65&o
emname=QLA2342
<http://support.qlogic.com/support/oem_product_detail.asp?p_id=255&oemid=65&
oemname=QLA2342> 


By comparing two machines w/o & w OEM driver installed:

		[root at hpfsapp1]# lsmod | grep qla
		qla2300               599356   0
		scsi_mod              115756   4  [sg megaraid2 qla2300
sd_mod]
		[root at hpfsapp1]#
		[root at hpfsapp1 root]# rpm -qa | grep -i qla
		[root at hpfsapp1 root]#


		[root at hpfsapp2]# lsmod | grep qla
		qla2200_conf          301656   0  (autoclean)
		qla2300               599356   3
		scsi_mod              115756   3  [sg emcp megaraid2 qla2300
sd_mod]
		[root at hpfsapp2]#
		[root at hpfsapp2]# rpm -qa | grep -i qla
		qla2x00-v7.07.00-1
		[root at hpfsapp2]#


Question: Does this OEM driver 7.07.00-3 really required in my environment ?

Best Regards,
Daniel
