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

Step 3 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver (continued)

# 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 Rocket RAID 2220 controller, for example), the driver module in t he initrd file should be
updated using the mkinitrd command (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 (hptmv 6.ko).


5 - Uninstalling the Driver


To uninstall the RocketRAID 2220 driver


Note: The driver cannot be uninstalled while the system is booted from a disk or array attached to the
Rocket RAID 2220.

To uninstall the driver, remove the lines added to /etc/fstab, and remove the files created in the /etc/init.d
directory.
