Specific installation method:

#rpm-qa |grep gcc
#rpm-qa|grep Kernel-devel

2, FTP upload the above two packages to the TMP directory.
#tar-ZXVF hp_qla2x00-2009-03-17.tar.gz
#tar-ZXVF hp-fc-enablement-2009-09-02.tar.gz

3, first install HP_QLA2X00-2009-03-17.
#cd HP_QLA2X00-2009-03-17
#./install

#cd hp-fc-enablement-2009-09-02
#./install.sh

4, restart the computer, all OK

Say a few more words.
The previous installation method on IBM's PC server is somewhat different from this one. You may want to compile the kernel manually and modify the grub.conf configuration file so that the kernel with the HBA Card driver module is used by default when the system starts.
Fortunately, HP installs the kernel by installing a script, adding grub boot entries and setting it as the default boot, all automatically completed.

5, about LINUX does not restart the recognition of the issue.
It is generally found that the disk was not discovered by Fdisk-l after the EVA8100 was divided vdisk the past.
Try the Hardware Scan command again: kudzu, the result is the same. Can there be a way out?
A search on the internet, the result is really a way.
Go to Qlogic online to download the scanned disk script:

After mapping the LUN.
#./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh
#fdisk-L
Did you find the broken disk?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
Found some problems: after unmap the disk, execute the
#./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh
#fdisk-L
Fdisk-l Hang, long time to come out.
