DESCRIPTION:

This driver diskette image provides the binary driver module pre-built
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 to enable ProLiant Smart Array 6x and 5x 
Series controllers.

Using this driver diskette at Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 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 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 installation CD.

INSTALLATION

To install Linux using this "ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0" Driver Diskette, 
boot your Linux machine with your Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 CD1 in 
your CD-ROM Drive.

A menu will be displayed, prompting for your input. Type the following 
line of code to inform the operating system of the diskette:

# linux updates dd

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 will prompt for the Updates Diskette and the ProLiant 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 Driver Diskette during the installation procedure. 


NOTES

CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE

There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette:

MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS:

1) Save the "cpq_cciss-2.4.52-11.rhel3.amd64.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. 
Use WINZIP to extract "cpq_cciss-2.4.52-11.rhel3.amd64.dd" 
from this file into the same directory.
Please ensure that "cpq_cciss-2.4.52-11.rhel3.amd64.dd" is a DOS 8.3 name. 

2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 CD in the "dosutil" directory.

3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 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: cpq_cciss-2.4.52-11.rhel3.amd64.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 "cpq_cciss-2.4.52-11.rhel3.amd64.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract
"cpq_cciss-2.4.52-11.rhel3.amd64.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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette
into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command:

	# dd if=cpq_cciss-2.4.52-11.rhel3.amd64.dd  of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

4)  This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=cpq_cciss-2.4.52-11.rhel3.amd64.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.
