Hello.

I am using a Dell Blade unit running Proxmox which has a qLogic Fiber Card within it. What I want to do is assigned a drive within the Debian o/s with a mounted SAN.

What I need to do is load the drivers to support qLogic but some of the only guides require you to add kernel addon's which don't work with the proxmox kernel.

Can someone suggest how to get Fiber Channel qLogic support working with Proxmox.

Thanks,

Paul Hughes

Other case ask Dell and/or QLogic about Debian-support. It's allways an good idea to ask for Debian, if they support only RHEL and SLES.
