After the modification to /etc/modules.conf has been made, a
new ramdisk needs to be created and the host rebooted.
To create a new ramdisk, run the
mkinitrd command:
• For Red Hat distributions use:
cd /boot
mkinitrd –v initrd-
$1
.img
$1
where
$1
is the currently running v2.4.x kernel version.
• For SuSE distributions use:
cd /boot
mkinitrd –k vmlinuz-
$1
–i initrd-
$1
where
$1
is the currently running v2.4.x kernel version.
2. The execution throttle in the NVRAM should be set to the
maximum of 256.
• If you are using the EMC-approved QLogic BIOS/NVRAM,
then the execution throttle will be defaulted to 256.
• If you are using the QLogic default BIOS/NVRAM, then the
default for this parameter is 16. In this case, you will need to:
– Reboot the host.
–Press
<CTRL> Q when prompted.
– Manually increase the execution throttle parameter from 16
to 256 in the NVRAM settings for each HBA in the system.
