HP IO Accelerator Management Tool 3.0 Installation
HP IO Accelerator Management Tool 3.0 is a free GUI solution for managing IO Accelerator
devices. The tool is also available from the HP website
Uninstall any previous versions of HP IO Accelerator Management Tool before installing the latest
version. To install and use HP IO Accelerator Management Tool, download and follow the
installation and user guides located in the ioSphere download folder.
When all package installations are complete, go to "Loading the IO Accelerator driver (on page
)."
Building the IO Accelerator driver from source
The IO Accelerator driver is distributed as a source package. If a binary version of the software is not
available, you must build the IO Accelerator driver from source. Use the source package that is made for your
distribution. Source packages from other distributions might not work.
1.
Download current IO Accelerator source and support packages from the HP website
IMPORTANT:
The exact source package to download depends on your operating system, but it
is either an RPM package (for operating systems that use RPM packages) or a tar installation
package (for all other operating systems).
2.
Change directory to where you downloaded the source package.
3.
To create a customized installation package, follow the instructions in "Building an RPM installation
package (on page
)".
Building an RPM installation package
1.
Install the prerequisite files for your kernel version.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the prerequisite packages might currently be in the default OS
installation. If the system is not configured to get packages over the network, you might have to
mount the install CD/DVD.
o
On RHEL 5/6, you need kernel-devel, kernel-headers, rpm-build, GCC4, and rsync:
$ yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers rpm-build gcc rsync
CAUTION:
The yum option might not install the correct (matching) kernel versions of
kernel-devel or kernel-headers packages. The yum option will download the latest
version. Use the following command to force yum to download the exact versions:
yum install kernel-headers-`uname -r`
kernel-devel-`uname -r` gcc rsync rpm-build
If the exact versions are no longer available in the repository, you must manually download them
from the Internet. For more information, contact HP Support
o
On SLES 10/11 you need kernel-syms, make, rpm-build, GCC4, and rsync:
$ zypper install kernel-syms make rpm-build gcc rsync
2.
Build an RPM installation package for the current kernel:
$ rpmbuild --rebuild iomemory-vsl-<VSL-version>.src.rpm
