I have posted about it in the CentOS forums here: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=40499&forum=57 (all important details can be found there)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>What is essentially happening (to the best of my knowledge) is the included drivers are version 5.02.00.00.06.03-k4. However, when I try to install the CLI management tools from Qlogic it is requesting a more recent driver version, 5.02.07.02.05.06-c0 (or newer). This is where I am stuck.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Attempts to compile a newer driver fail, as outlined in the above post. I am certain my lack of experience is the root cause of the problem so I am seeking some assistance in resolving this issue. Here are some specific questions I have:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>1) Before compiling a newer version of a driver is it necessary to remove any previous versions? Could this be preventing the newer drivers from compiling?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>2) If 'yes' to above how would I go about removing them?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for any and all assistance,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Liano<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
