FILE NAME: cpq_cciss-2.6.18-5.rhel4.i686.dd.gz TITLE: Driver diskette for HP Proliant Smart Array Controller (x86/AMD32) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86) VERSION: 2.6.18-5 LANGUAGE: English CATEGORY: Driver Diskettes DIVISION: N/A OPERATING SYSTEM: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86) ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes DESCRIPTION: This driver diskette image provides the binary driver module pre-built for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 to enable ProLiant Smart Array SAS/SATA, 6x and 5x Series controllers. Using this driver diskette at Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 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 4 installation CD. FIXES ENHANCEMENTS Added latest kernel support Added support for Smart Array E500 Added greater than 2TB filesystem support. SUPPORTED KERNELS: The kernels of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86) supported by this driver diskette are: 2.6.9-5.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86) 2.6.9-11.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 1 (x86) 2.6.9-22.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2 (x86) 2.6.9-34.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 3 (x86) 2.6.9-42.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4 (x86) 2.6.9-55.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 5 (x86) SUPPORTED DEVICES AND FEATURES Smart Array P800 Controller Smart Array P600 Controller Smart Array E500 Controller Smart Array P400 Controller Smart Array P400i Controller Smart Array E200 Controller Smart Array E200i 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 CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS: 1) Save the "cpq_cciss-2.6.18-5.rhel4.i686.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract "cpq_cciss-2.6.18-5.rhel4.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 4 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command: # dd if=cpq_cciss-2.6.18-5.rhel4.i686.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=cpq_cciss-2.6.18-5.rhel4.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. INSTALLATION To install Linux using this "ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4" Driver Diskette, boot your Linux machine with your Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 will prompt for the ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Driver Diskette during the installation procedure.
