FILE NAME: mptlinux-4.00.13.05-3.sles11.i586.dd.gz TITLE: Driver diskette for HP U320 SCSI Adapter, SAS HBA with RAID, SCxxXe and SCxxGe HBA series (x86/AMD32) for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 11 (x86) VERSION: 4.00.13.05-3 LANGUAGE: English CATEGORY: Driver Diskettes DIVISION: N/A OPERATING SYSTEM: SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 11 (x86) ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes DESCRIPTION: This driver diskette image provides the binary driver module pre-built for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 11 (x86) 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 11 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 11 installation CD. FIXES * Mon Apr 27 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 4.00.13.05-3 - Updated rpm code to better edit SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server boot entries and avoid inheriting boot options from the Failsafe boot entry. * Thu Apr 2 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 4.00.13.05-2 - Updated rpm for SUSE LINUX Enterprise 11 to list the driver as external so driver install will be accepted when no previous driver diskette has been installed. * Tue Mar 24 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 4.00.13.05-1 ENHANCEMENTS * Mon Apr 27 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 4.00.13.05-3 * Thu Apr 2 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 4.00.13.05-2 * Tue Mar 24 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 4.00.13.05-1 - Initial SUSE LINUX Enterprise 11 release. SUPPORTED KERNELS: The kernels of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 11 (x86) supported by this driver diskette are: 2.6.27.19-5 - SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 11 (x86) CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS: 1) Save the "mptlinux-4.00.13.05-3.sles11.i586.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract "mptlinux-4.00.13.05-3.sles11.i586.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 11 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command: # dd if=mptlinux-4.00.13.05-3.sles11.i586.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=mptlinux-4.00.13.05-3.sles11.i586.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 Note: If HP System Insight Manager support is required, please install the latest Proliant Support Pack and mptlinux-4.00.13.05-3.sles11.i586.rpm after the OS has completed its installation process and system has rebooted.
