SOFTPAQ NUMBER: N/A PART NUMBER: N/A FILE NAME: aacraid-1.1.5.2432-2.sles10.x86_64.dd.gz TITLE: Driver diskette for HP 6-Port SATA RAID Controller (AMD64/EM64T) for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 (AMD64/EM64T) VERSION: 1.1.5.2432-2 LANGUAGE: English CATEGORY: Driver Diskettes DIVISION: N/A OPERATING SYSTEM: SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 (AMD64/EM64T) EFFECTIVE DATE: Oct 27,2006 ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes SOFTPAQ UTILITY VERSION: N/A SUPERSEDES: N/A DESCRIPTION: This driver diskette image provides the binary driver module pre-built for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 to enable the HP 6-Port SATA RAID Controller. Using this driver diskette at SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 installation time allows the most up-to-date driver version included in the diskette to be used, rather than the default driver version contained in the SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 installation CD. FIXES ENHANCEMENTS The kernels of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 (AMD64/EM64T) supported by this driver diskette are: 2.6.16.21-0.8 - SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 (AMD64/EM64T) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Perform the installation of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 (SLES10) as normal using all required driver update diskettes. When the “Installation Settings” screen appears perform the following steps. 2. Select the “Expert” tab 3. Select the “Partitioning” section 4. Select “Create Custom Partition Setup” and press “Next” 5. Select the device you want to use for installation and press “Next” 6. If prompted select “Use Entire Hard Disk” and press “Next”. This has setup the default partitions for you. 7. Select the “Partitioning” section again. 8. Select “Custom Partitioning (for experts)” and press “Next” 9. For each partition on your boot device (i.e. /dev/sda1) do: - Highlight the partition - Select “Edit” from the options at the bottom of the screen - Select “Fstab options” from the window that pops up when the “Edit” button is pressed - In this new window select “Device Path” and press “OK” - Press “OK” again at the “Edit Partition” window - Move on to the next partition if any and repeat these steps 10. After all partitions have been modified to use the “Device Path” option press “Finish” at the “Expert Partitioner” screen 11. Select the “Booting” section 12. Highlight the entry “SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10” if it is not already highlighted 13. Select the “Edit” option at the bottom of the screen 14. Verify that the “Root Device” field is mounting the device by path. You will see “(mount by PATH: xxxxx) after the device node for the root device (i.e. /dev/sda2) 15. Press “OK” to return to the “Installation Settings” screen 16. Configure the rest of the install as desired and continue the installation. The system will now reboot correctly. CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette: MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS: 1) Save the "aacraid-1.1.5.2432-2.sles10.x86_64.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use WINZIP to extract "aacraid-1.1.5.2432-2.sles10.x86_64.dd" from this file into the same directory. Please ensure that "aacraid-1.1.5.2432-2.sles10.x86_64.dd" is a DOS 8.3 name. 2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 CD in the "dosutil" directory. 3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "ProLiant SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 Driver Diskette". Next, insert the diskette in the diskette drive. Then, use the following commands (assuming your ProLiant Disk Image is at the location c: and your CD-ROM is drive d:) C:\> d:\dosutils\rawrite Enter disk image source file name: aacraid-1.1.5.2432-2.sles10.x86_64.dd Enter target diskette drive: a: Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and press --ENTER-- : Enter MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS: 1) Save the "aacraid-1.1.5.2432-2.sles10.x86_64.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract "aacraid-1.1.5.2432-2.sles10.x86_64.dd" from this file into the same directory 2) To make a diskette under Linux (or any other Linux-like operating system), you must have permission to write to the device representing a 3.5-inch diskette drive (known as /dev/fd0 under Linux) 3) First, label a blank, formatted diskette appropriately (ProLiant SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command: # dd if=aacraid-1.1.5.2432-2.sles10.x86_64.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=aacraid-1.1.5.2432-2.sles10.x86_64.dd) to an output file (of=/dev/fd0) using the diskette size of 1440k (1.44MB). To make another diskette label that diskette, and run "dd" again, specifying the correct input file.
