Officially, they support RHE 4 and 5, and SLES. If anyone has gotten one of these, or any other Emulex HBA working under OpenSuSE, could you give me an idea of how to work this? As far as I can tell with google, this HBA is not supported right out of the box like QLogic.
Hi Christopher we're using openSUSE with Emulex HBAs in 5 or 6 systems - no problems. It's been a while since I installed them. I have one system running with an alpha-version of 10.2. IIRC, I just used the vanilla lpfc module that came with the standard kernel. Here's a snippet from dmesg: Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel SCSI driver 8.1.6 Copyright(c) 2004-2006 Emulex.
