title QLogic SANSurfer CLI
|
Introduction
The QLogic SANSurfer CLI is a command-line management tool for the Qlogic SANSurfer line of fiber-channel cards. It is generally released (as of this writing) as Windows executables, and RedHat/SUSE RPMs. This document details how to convert the QLogic RPMS for use on Ubuntu. This procedure has been tested on Ubuntu 9.04 server. Other variants should work, but have not been tested.
Note that the QLogic CLI tool is released as a binary named scli. This may be confused with the Ubuntu scli package, a collection of SNMP command-line management tools
Getting the CLI tools
The SANSurfer CLI tool is available from Qlogic driver downloads page. This document will assume the use of the file scli-1.7.3-14.i386.rpm
$ mkdir /tmp/qlogic; cd /tmp/qlogic
Download the appropriate scli RPM to the new folder (/tmp/qlogic/, for example). You should now have /tmp/qlogic/scli-1.7.3-14.i386.rpm
Installing the Qlogic CLI
Prerequisites
You'll need the alien package to convert the .rpm into a .deb.
/tmp/qlogic$ sudo apt-get install alien
Convert RPM into DEB
$ alien -g scli-1.7.3-14.i386.rpm
$ cd scli-1.7.3
$ mv debian DEBIAN
$ mv \$\{_prefix\}/opt/ .
$ rm -rf \$\{_prefix\}/Edit control file ..
$ vim DEBIAN/control
.. to remove any references to the ${_prefix} prefix:
Source: scli Section: admin Priority: optional Maintainer: Your Name <yourname@your.host.com> Version: 1.7.3-14 Package: scli Architecture: i386 Depends: Description: SANsurfer FC HBA CLI QLogic FC HBA Command Line Interface application . (Converted from a rpm package by alien version 8.73.)
Edit conffile ..
$ vim DEBIAN/conffiles
.. so that it looks like this (removing the ${_prefix} prefix on every line):
/opt/QLogic_Corporation/SANsurferCLI/adapters.properties /opt/QLogic_Corporation/SANsurferCLI/agent.properties /opt/QLogic_Corporation/SANsurferCLI/flashcfg.properties /opt/QLogic_Corporation/SANsurferCLI/menu.properties /opt/QLogic_Corporation/SANsurferCLI/sfcli.properties
Package everything back into a .deb:
$ dpkg -b scli-1.7.3 scli-1.7.3-14.deb
Install the CLI
$ sudo dpkg --install scli-1.7.3-14.deb $ cd /opt/QLogic_Corporation/SANsurferCLI $ tar -xzf lib.tgz $ sudo cp -i lib/ia32/2.6/*.so /usr/lib/ $ ln -s /opt/QLogic_Corporation/SANsurferCLI/scli qlscli
