Emulex LPFC Application Helper Module Installation Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. System Requirements
   1.1 SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 'kernel-source' Package Requirement
2. Installation Process

----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. System Requirements

   The following distributions of Linux are supported by the Emulex
   LPFC Application Helper Module:

	SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10

   This Emulex LPFC Application Helper Module will function with the
   Emulex LPFC driver that ships with these distributions of Linux as
   well as the Emulex LPFC driver that is installed as part of the
   Emulex LPFC 8.1.6.6 driver kit.

1.1  SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 'kernel-source' Package Requirement

   For SuSE Linux Enterprise Server installations, the kernel-source
   package with the same version as the currently running kernel must
   be installed for the LPFC Application Helper Module build to succeed.  
   For example, a system with the 2.6.16.11-7-ppc64 kernel would need the
   kernel-source-2.6.16.11-7 package.

2. Installation Process

   The ioctl-install script can be used to install and uninstall the
   LPFC Application Helper Module RPM.  This RPM installs the module
   sources to the /usr/src/lpfcdfc directory, builds the module for
   the currently running kernel, and then installs the module to the
   proper directory for the currently running kernel.

   Once the RPM is installed, the 'elxlpfc' init script is installed
   and configured to start and stop the 'lpfcdfc' driver during system
   startup and shutdown.

   For usage information, please execute the command:

      ./ioctl-install --help
