SOFTPAQ NUMBER: N/A PART NUMBER: N/A FILE NAME: cpq_cciss-2.4.54-14.rhel21.i686.dd.gz TITLE: Driver diskette for HP ProLiant Smart Array Controller (x86) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 (x86) VERSION: 2.4.54-14 LANGUAGE: English CATEGORY: Driver Diskettes DIVISION: N/A OPERATING SYSTEM: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 EFFECTIVE DATE: Mar 16,2005 ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes SOFTPAQ UTILITY VERSION: N/A SUPERSEDES: N/A DESCRIPTION: This driver diskette image provides the binary driver module pre-built for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 to enable ProLiant Smart Array SAS/SATA, 6x and 5x Series controllers. Using this driver diskette at Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 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 2.1 installation CD. FIXES ENHANCEMENTS Added support for Smart Array P600 Controller. The kernels of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 supported by this driver diskette are: 2.4.9-e.3 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 (x86) 2.4.9-e.12 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 Update 1 (x86) 2.4.9-e.24 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 Update 2 (x86) 2.4.9-e.34 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 Update 3 (x86) 2.4.9-e.40 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 Update 4 (x86) 2.4.9-e.49 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 Update 5 (x86) 2.4.9-e.57 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 Update 6 (x86) SUPPORTED DEVICES AND FEATURES MSA 500 G2 MSA 20 Smart Array P600 Controller Smart Array 6i Controller Smart Array 6400 Controller Smart Array 6400 EM Controller Smart Array 641 Controller Smart Array 642 Controller Smart Array 5312 Controller Smart Array 5304 Controller Smart Array 5302 Controller Smart Array 532 Controller Smart Array 5i Plus Controller Smart Array 5i Controller SYSTEMS SUPPORTED family models ------ ------ Smart Array Controller 6400, 6402, 6404, 641, 642, 5i, 5312, 5304, 5300, 532, CLUSTER STORAGE, MSA500, 6i, MSA 20 StorageWorks Enclosure All Models ProLiant Storage System All Models ProLiant BL20p G2 (2.8GHz+), (1.4GHz) ProLiant BL40p All Models ProLiant DL760 G2 (1.5GHz+), (700-900MHz) ProLiant DL740 (1.5GHz+) ProLiant DL580 G2 (1400MHz+), (700-900MHz) ProLiant DL560 (1.5GHz+) ProLiant DL380 G4 (3.4GHz+), G3 (2.4-3.2GHz), G2 (1133-1400MHz), (667-1000MHz) ProLiant DL380 Packaged Cluster G4 (3.6GHz+), G3 (2.8GHz+), G2 (1266MHz) ProLiant DL360 G4 (3.2GHz+), G3 (2.4-3.2GHz), G2 (1.4GHz), (550-1266MHz) ProLiant DL320 G2 (2.26GHz+), (800-1.53GHz) ProLiant ML750 All Models ProLiant ML570 G2 (1.4GHz+), (667-1000MHz) ProLiant ML530 G2 (2.4GHz+), (667-1000MHz) ProLiant ML370 G4 (3.6GHz+), G3 (2.4-3.2GHz), G2 (1133-1400MHz), (667-1000MHz) ProLiant ML350 G4 (3.5Ghz+), G3 (2.0-3.06GHz), G2 (1133-1400MHz ),(667-1000MHz) ProLiant ML330e All Models ProLiant ML330 G3 (2.4GHz+), G2 (1000MHz), (667-999MHz) ProLiant ML310 All Models INSTALLATION To install Linux using this "ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1" Driver Diskette, boot your Linux machine with your Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 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 2.1 will prompt for the Updates Diskette and the ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 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-2.4.54-14.rhel21.i686.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use WINZIP to extract "cpq_cciss-2.4.54-14.rhel21.i686.dd" from this file into the same directory. Please ensure that "cpq_cciss-2.4.54-14.rhel21.i686.dd" is a DOS 8.3 name. 2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 CD in the "dosutil" directory. 3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 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-2.4.54-14.rhel21.i686.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-2.4.54-14.rhel21.i686.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract "cpq_cciss-2.4.54-14.rhel21.i686.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 2.1 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command: # dd if=cpq_cciss-2.4.54-14.rhel21.i686.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=cpq_cciss-2.4.54-14.rhel21.i686.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.
