centos7中自带的有qla2xxx驱动，但是没有tcm_qla2xxx驱动,这会创建一些HBA卡的target的时候失败。为此，需要保证tcm_qla2xxx.ko驱动能生成并自动执行。那么该如何解决这个问题呢？

1.选择tcm_qla2xxx模块

首先，进入和当前centos内核版本和配置选项一致的源代码的build目录：

cd/lib/modules/3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64/build

make menuconfig

加上对tcm_qla2xxx的支持：

2.编译tcm_qla2xxx驱动

保存上面的选择，然后退出。接着cd /home/qbaq/qla2xxx:

make -C /lib/modules/3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64/build M=`pwd` modules

会看到下面的提示：

可以看大上面tcm_qla2xxx的一些符合依赖于btree这个模块。为此，需要继续解决对btree的依赖。尝试和上面同样的方法，重新进入build/:

make menuconfig

不过这次，在本地编译就会产生问题：

[root@localhost lib]# make -C /lib/modules/3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64/build M=`pwd` modules

3.解决tcm_qla2xxx对btree模块的依赖

究其原因，btree模块在tcm_qla2xxx选上之后，默认必须应该变成build in的，因为它可能依赖其他的内容。我们看这个文件包含的头文件也可以看出来：

所以，还需要重新编译内核。为了尽量保证和发行版的配置文件一致，我们把经过上面操作之后/lib/module/3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64 /build下最新的.confg拷贝过来:

然后make -j 32

make bzImage

make modules_install

make install

这样就能保证生成的内核里已经包含了btree模块，同时由于它会在启动时候加载，后续加载tcm_qla2xxx驱动就不会有问题了。
