I have several servers with QLogic fibre-channel HBAs in the ISP24xx series, notably the ISP2432. This card has been removed from the C8 kernel's ID list. I looked at ELrepo, but there's not a kmod for the qla2xxx like there is for megaraid_sas (which I'm using; many thanks to ELrepo), and I don't see the qla2xxx referenced in the patchlist for the CentOS Plus kernel-plus packages.
Anyone else here using these older 4Gb fibre-channel cards with C8? The Bugzilla number referenced by the changelog (1572233) is of course not accessible, even when I'm logged in and have a valid subscription to RHEL; I would like to know the rationale (similar to target mode on qla2xxx; apparently a 'management' decision to not support; I would love to just know why).
I know 4Gb fibre-channel isn't exactly exciting tech these days, but I have a lot of storage that uses it that isn't going to be upgraded any time soon. I have a ton of ISP2464 cards, but they're just a bit too large to fit in a Dell PE1950. Yeah, might be a bit old but they still have a lot of life left in them for lots of uses!
