Feb 11, 2014  The lpfc driver has been upstream for many years and can be readily found in the distributions. Recent driver kits can be found on the Emulex.com website as well as websites for various OEMS. OLD: This project is a development area for a Linux Device driver for Emulex Fibre Channel HBA's, targetting the Linux 2.6 kernel. Alternatively for Emulex (lpfc) or QLogic (qlaxx) Storage Adapters, you can run one of these commands to find the driver being used: For QLogic, run this command: cat /proc/scsi/qlaxx/x.

This driver CD release includes support for version elx_7.4.0.41 of the Emulex lpfc_740 driver on ESX 3.5. The lpfc_740 driver supports products based on the Emulex converged network adapters such as Emulex LP21000 and Emulex LP21002 (copper and optical media), and Cisco UCS M71KR-E Emulex converged network adapter.

For detailed information about ESX hardware compatibility, see the I/O Hardware Compatibility List.
