DESCRIPTION:
                                                                                
This driver diskette image provides the binary driver module pre-built
for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (AMD64/EM64T) to enable the HP ProLiant 64-bit/133-MHz Dual Channel Ultra320
SCSI HBA and HP U320 64-Bit Single Channel SCSI G2 HBA, HP U320 64-Bit Single
Channel SCSI HBA, HP 8 Internal Port SAS/SATA HBA with RAID and HP 4 Internal
Port SAS HBA with RAID, and HP SCxxXe series of HBA.
                                                                                
Using this driver diskette at SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 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
SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 installation CD.

FIXES

ENHANCEMENTS
Added support for HP SC11Xe HBA.

The kernels of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (AMD64/EM64T) supported by this driver diskette are:
2.6.5-7.244 - SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 SP 3 (AMD64/EM64T)

INSTALLATION
 
To install Linux using this "ProLiant SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9" Driver Diskette,
boot your Linux machine with your SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 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 dd
 
SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 will prompt for the Updates Diskette and the ProLiant
SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 Driver Diskette during the installation procedure.

CAUTION: If ProLiant Support Pack version 7.40 or older is installed, 
please install mptlinux-3.02.77-4.sles9.x86_64.dd.gz prior to rebooting 
the system.
                                                                                          
Note: If HP System Insight Manager support is required, please install 
the mptlinux-3.02.77-4.sles9.x86_64.dd.gz after the OS has completed its
installation process and is successfully booting.

NOTES
                                                                                
CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE
                                                                                
There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette:
                                                                                
MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS:
                                                                                
1) Save the "mptlinux-3.02.77-4.sles9.x86_64.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory.
Use WINZIP to extract "mptlinux-3.02.77-4.sles9.x86_64.dd"
from this file into the same directory.
Please ensure that "mptlinux-3.02.77-4.sles9.x86_64.dd" is a DOS 8.3 name.
                                                                                
2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 CD in the "dosutil" directory.
                                                                                
3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "ProLiant SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 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: mptlinux-3.02.77-4.sles9.x86_64.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 "mptlinux-3.02.77-4.sles9.x86_64.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract
"mptlinux-3.02.77-4.sles9.x86_64.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 SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette
into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command:
                                                                                
        # dd if=mptlinux-3.02.77-4.sles9.x86_64.dd  of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
                                                                                
4)  This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=mptlinux-3.02.77-4.sles9.x86_64.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.
