How can I install QUADStor without FC target? (The problem with tcm_qla2xxx.)

[Aleksey Maksimov]

Hello QUADStor Team!

QUADStor Storage Virtualization 3.2.13 on Debian GNU/Linux 9.3 (stretch)

The targetcli utility does not work on my server after installing QUADStor.

# targetcli version

targetcli version 2.1.fb43

# targetcli /qla2xxx info

Fabric module name: qla2xxx
ConfigFS path: /sys/kernel/config/target/qla2xxx
Allowed WWN types: naa
Allowed WWNs list: naa.50014380029a1545, naa.50014380029a1546
Fabric module features: acls
Corresponding kernel module: tcm_qla2xxx

# targetcli /qla2xxx create naa.50014380029a1545

b"modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'tcm_qla2xxx': Invalid argument\n"

# modprobe tcm_qla2xxx

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'tcm_qla2xxx': Invalid argument

This problem appears after installing quadstar :-(

I need deduplication, but I don't need quadstor iSCSI/FC target.
I want to use native qla2xxx driver and targetcli utility.
In my opinion it is a normal desire.

How can I install QUADStor without changing the native qla2xxx driver?
