As new hardware models become available there are occasions where you may need to upgrade your QuantaStor systems' drivers in order to enable your hardware.

QuantaStor v2.x
QuantaStor uses a modified kernel which includes optimizations for iSCSI and some necessary modifications for FibreChannel support. Beyond that it's a stock Ubuntu Server kernel with all the headers included so you can build new drivers on your own. Building drivers can be a bit tricky though so if you have a subscription license and need a new driver just write to support@osnexus.com and we'll assist. Instructions for installing new drivers not included with our kernel will always be posted here for everyone's benefit.
Chelsio T4 driver
The following steps outline how to download the Chelsio T4 driver, set the permissions on the driver, and install it.
wget http://www.osnexus.com/storage/drivers/chelsio_t4_driver.tgz tar xvfz chelsio_t4_driver.tgz cd chelsio_t4_driver chmod 644 cxgb4.ko cp *ko /lib/modules/2.6.35-27-quantastor/extra depmod modprobe cxgb4
Run these commands to verify that the module is loaded and running:
lsmod | grep cxgb4 modinfo cxgb4 | more
Intel 10GbE driver
The following steps outline how to download the driver, set the permissions on the driver, make a backup of the old driver, and install the new one.
wget http://www.osnexus.com/storage/drivers/ixgbe.ko chmod 644 ixgbe.ko mv /lib/modules/2.6.35-27-quantastor/kernel/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe.ko /lib/modules/2.6.35-27-quantastor/kernel/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe.ko.distrib cp ixgbe.ko /lib/modules/2.6.35-27-quantastor/kernel/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe.ko depmod
The stock driver with QuantaStor v2 is 3.4.24-NAPI, this new driver updates to ixgbe 3.11.33. After you reboot you'll want to run this command to verify the driver version now reads 3.11.33
modinfo ixgbe | more
