3) When prompted “Do you have a driver disk?”, select “Yes”. At the “Insert

your driver disk and press OK to continue. ” prompt, insert the driver

diskette and then select “OK”.

4) The system will now load the RocketRAID driver automatically.

3 - Installing the RocketRAID 3xxx driver for an Exist-

ing System

Note: If a SCSI adapter is used to boot the system, make sure the RocketRAID host

adapter BIOS loads/posts after the SCSI adapter’s BIOS. It may be necessary to

move the adapter(s) to another PCI slot.

Step 1 Obtain the Driver Module

Extract the module file from the file modules.cgz (from the driver disk) using the

following commands:

# mount /dev/fd0

# cd /tmp

# gzip -dc /media/floppy/modules.cgz | cpio -idumv

Driver modules for all supported kernel versions will be extracted. The driver module

for the active kernel is located under the directory that matches the kernel version (/

tmp/‘uname –r‘/i686/hptiop.ko).

After extracting the driver module, load it using the following commands:

# modprobe sd_mod

# insmod hptiop.ko

Arrays attached to the adapter can be accessed as SCSI devices (e.g. /dev/sda).

Step 2 Mounting and Partitioning the Device

Example: A RAID array has been configured between several hard disks.

This array will be registered to the system as device “/dev/sda”.

To create a partition on this array (which will listed as /dev/sda1), use the “fdisk /

dev/sda” command.

Next, use the “mkfs /dev/sda1” command to setup a file system on this partition.
