Linux Driver Support

Use the command “mkdir xxxx” to create a mount point for the RAID array.

Then mount /dev/sda1 /xxxx in order to access it.

Note: xxxx represents the desired name of the mount point.

Step 3 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver

To avoid typing in “insmod rr174x.ko” each time the operating system is booted, the

system must be instructed to automatically load the module during bootup. To install

the module, type in the following commands (first change to the directory where the

proper rr174x.ko file is located):

#cp rr174x.ko /lib/modules/‘uname –r‘/kernel/drivers/scsi

#depmod

Then, instruct the system to load the module when booting. Use the following

commands:

#echo “modprobe rr174x” > /etc/init.d/hptdriver

#chmod 755 /etc/init.d/hptdriver

#ln –sf /etc/init.d/hptdriver /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S01hptdriver

#ln –sf /etc/init.d/hptdriver /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S01hptdriver

#ln –sf /etc/init.d/hptdriver /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S01hptdriver

Step 4 Configure System to Mount Volumes during Startup

The system can be instructed to automatically mount the array(s) during startup by

modifying the file”/etc/fstab”.

For example, add the following line to tell the system to mount /dev/sda1 to location /

mnt/raid after startup:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/raid ext3 defaults 0 0

4 - Updating the Driver

1. If the original driver is installed in the system’s initrd (Initial RAM Disk) file

(when using a system installed to the RocketRAID 174x controller, for example),

the driver module in the initrd file should be updated using the mkinitrd com-

mand (or extract the initrd file and replace the driver module manually).
