一、老版本的FC HBA卡驱动安装(qlinstall命令直接安装)：
1、首先下载Qlogic HBA卡的驱动(qlafc-linux-8.02.23-3-install.tgz)，上传到tmp目录，解压缩，并进入解压
缩目录
[root@redhat tmp]# cd qlafc-linux-8.02.23-3-install
2、解压缩后生成的文件：
[root@redhat qlafc-linux-8.02.23-3-install]# ls
agents qla2xxx-v8.02.23-3.noarch.rpm ql-pci.ids scli-1.7.2-7.i386.rpm scli-1.7.2-
7.ppc64.rpm
LinuxTools qlinstall README.qlinstall.txt scli-1.7.2-7.ia64.rpm
set_driver_param
3、执行安装命令：
[root@redhat qlafc-linux-8.02.23-3-install]# ./qlinstall

4、安装成功
如果在/proc/scsi/目录下出现qla2xxx/目录说明安装已经成功，设备正常运行
[root@redhat qlafc-linux-8.02.23-3-install]# cat /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/5 |grep adapter-port
scsi-qla0-adapter-port=2100001b321e75a6;
[root@redhat qlafc-linux-8.02.23-3-install]#
5、查看驱动版本：
$ rpm -qa |grep qla
qla2xxx-v8.02.23-3
6、qlinstall命令其他参数
qlinstall -h 查看帮助
qlinstall -i 安装
qlinstall -up 升级
qlinstall -u 卸载
二、新版本驱动安装(源码，src，需要手工生产ko文件)
1、第一种方法
看自带的readme文件
2、第二种方法
先安装老版本如8.02.23
然后，解压新版本
jason.wy@db067044.cm4:~ $ tar -xzf qla2xxx-src-8.03.01.06.05.06-k.tar.gz
jason.wy@db067044.cm4:~ $ cd qla2xxx-src-8.03.01.06.05.06-k
jason.wy@db067044.cm4:~/qla2xxx-src-8.03.01.06.05.06-k $
使用make命令指定-C参数，在当前目录生成.ko文件
jason.wy@db067044.cm4:~/qla2xxx-src-8.03.01.06.05.06-k $ make -C /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-164.el5

以下内容为补充：
6、查看HBA卡模块的信息
jason.wy@db067043.cm4:~/qla2xxx-src-8.03.01.06.05.06-k $ /sbin/modinfo qla2xxx|head
