Linux Driver Support

#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

3 - 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 2210 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).

2.

If the original driver is installed in the /lib/modules/‘uname –r‘/kernel/drivers/

scsi/ directory, and loaded by the script file (Example /etc/init.d/hptdriver) during

the init process, or the configure file (Example /etc/modules.conf), please replace

it with the new driver (rr2210.o or rr2210.ko).

4 - Uninstalling the Driver

To uninstall the RocketRAID 2210 driver

Note: The driver cannot be uninstalled while the system is booted from a disk or array

attached to the RocketRAID 2210.

To uninstall the driver, remove the lines added to /etc/fstab, and remove the files

created in the /etc/init.d directory.
