Step 4 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver

To avoid typing in “insmod hptmv6.o” 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 hptmv6.ko file is located):

1.

Edit the file “/etc/sysconfig/kernel”, and add the hptmv6 module to the line

“INITRD_MODULES=… ”

Example:

INITRD_MODULES=”reiserfs hptmv6”

2.

Run the “depmod” command to update the module configuration:

# depmod

3.

Next, run the “mkinitrd” command to update the initrd file:

# mkinitrd

4.

If you are using the lilo boot loader, run lilo again:

# lilo

Step 5 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 ext2 defaults 0 0
