kernel using Open Source package for RocketRAID 3540 controller.

To ensure the module has been loaded successfully, you can check the driver status

by typing in the command “cat /proc/scsi/hptiop/x”, where x is the filename you

found under /proc/scsi/hptiop/. You should see the driver banner and a list of

attached drives. You can now access the drives as a SCSI device (the first device is /

dev/sda, then /dev/sdb, etc.).

Example: You have configured a RAID 0 array using 2 disks. It will be registered to

system as device /dev/sda. You can use “fdisk /dev/sda” to create a partition on it,

which will be /dev/sda1, and use “mkfs /dev/sda1” to setup a file system on the

partition. Then you can mount /dev/sda1 to somewhere to access it.

Step 3 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver

Most likely, you will not want to type in “insmod hptiop.o” each time you boot up the

system. Therefore you must install the module and tell the system about it. To install

the module, type in the following commands (first change directory to where the

proper hptiop.ko locates):

# cp hptiop.ko /lib/modules/‘uname –r‘/kernel/drivers/scsi.

# depmod

Then you should inform the system load the module when system boots up with the

following command:

# echo “modprobe hptiop” > /etc/init.d/hptdriver

# chmod 755 /etc/init.d/hptdriver

# ln –sf /etc/init.d/hptdriver /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S01hptdriver

# ln –sf /etc/init.d/hptdriver /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S01hptdriver

# ln –sf /etc/init.d/hptdriver /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S01hptdriver

Step 4 Configure System to Mount Volumes when Startup

Now you can inform the system to automatically mount the array by modifying the file

/etc/fstab. E.g. you can add the following line to tell the system to mount /dev/sda1 to

location /mnt/raid after startup:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/raid ext3 defaults 0 0

1 2 ... 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 ... 80 81
