Driver diskette image for Proliant Linux driver for the Smart Array 2xx, 3xxx and 42xx family of controllers for Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 and Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 errata (2.4.9-e.8) kernels Version 2.4.22-2 (17 October 02) This driver diskette image provides the binary driver module pre-built for Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 to enable Proliant Smart Array 2xx, 3xxx and 42xx family of controllers. Using this driver diskette at Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 installation time allows the most up-to-date driver version included in the diskette to be used, rather than default driver version contained in the Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 installation CD. Fixes * Released CPQARRAY 2.4.22-2 for RedHat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 and errata (2.4.9-e.8) kernel. * Resolve issue of Sense Surface Status BMIC command returning more than 1K of data * Resolve issue of driver still stays loaded when there is no devices attached to IDA controller * Add IDAGETLOGINFO ioctl * Resolve divide by zero error that happened on the Caldera kernel (calling fdisk on a drive that didn't really exist) * Add support for dynamically adding and removing logical volumes. * /proc file system entry now just "array" instead of "driver/array" * Flush cache on rmmod * Add HDIO_GETGEO_BIG ioctl * Add IDADEREGDISK, IDAREGNEWDISK ioctls * Add COLLECT_BUFFER command support * Add WRITE_FLASH_ROM command support. * Use new PCI DMA routines. Enhancements Now support both RH Advanced Server version 2.1 and RH Advanced Server version 2.1 errata kernel (2.4.9-e.8) Creating a driver diskette There are two methods to creating the Installation Diskette: MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS: 1) Save the “cpq_cpqarray_2.4.22-rhAS21.dd.gz” file into a temporary directory. Use WINZIP to extract “cpq_cpqarray_2.4.22-rhAS21.dd” from this file into the same directory. 2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the Red Hat Linux CD in the "dosutils" directory. 3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "Proliant Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 Driver Diskette". 4) Insert the diskette in the diskette drive then, use the following command (assuming your Proliant Disk Image is at the location c: and your CD-ROM is drive d:) C:\> d:\dosutils\rawrite 5) Enter disk image source file name: cpq_cpqarray_2.4.22-rhAS21.dd 6) Enter target diskette drive "a:" and insert a formatted diskette into drive A:. Press ENTER. MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS: 1) Save the “cpq_cpqarray_2.4.22-rhAS21.dd.gz” file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract “cpq_cpqarray_2.4.22-rhAS21.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) Label a blank, formatted diskette appropriately (Proliant Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command: # dd if=cpq_cpqarray_2.4.22-rhAS21.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=cpq_cpqarray_2.4.22-rhAS21.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.

Installation To install Linux using this Proliant Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 Driver Diskette, boot your linux machine with your Red Hat Advanced server 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 will prompt for the Updates Diskette and the Proliant Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 Driver Diskette during the installation procedure.
