TITLE: Driver diskette for HP U320 SCSI Adapter, SAS HBA with RAID, SCxxXe and SCxxGe HBA series (AMD64/EM64T) for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 (AMD64/EM64T)

VERSION: 4.00.06.01-1

LANGUAGE: English

CATEGORY: Driver Diskettes

DIVISION: N/A

OPERATING SYSTEM: SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 (AMD64/EM64T)

ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes

DESCRIPTION:
                                                                                
This driver diskette image provides the binary driver module pre-built
for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 (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, HP SCxxXe and SCxxGe series of HBA.
                                                                                
Using this driver diskette at SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 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 10 installation CD.

FIXES
- Fixed an issue where a degraded RAID 1 volume will be mounted as ‘read-only’ when an I/O was sent to the volume at the time of failure.

ENHANCEMENTS
- Added support for Service Pack 1.
- New “on the fly” enabling of debug logging via SysFS located in /sys/class/scsi_host/host#/debug_level.

The kernels of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 (AMD64/EM64T) supported by this driver diskette are:
2.6.16.46-0.12 - SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 SP 1 (AMD64/EM64T)

CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE
                                                                                
MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS:
                                                                                
1)  Save the "mptlinux-4.00.06.01-1.sles10.x86_64.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract
"mptlinux-4.00.06.01-1.sles10.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 10 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette
into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command:
                                                                                
        # dd if=mptlinux-4.00.06.01-1.sles10.x86_64.dd  of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
                                                                                
4)  This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=mptlinux-4.00.06.01-1.sles10.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.
