SOFTPAQ NUMBER: N/A PART NUMBER: N/A FILE NAME: cpq_cciss-2.4.50-18.rh73.i386.dd.gz TITLE: Driver diskette image for ProLiant Linux driver for Smart Array 6i, 640x, 64x, 5i, 53xx Series controllers for Red Hat 7.3 VERSION: cpq_cciss-2.4.50-18 LANGUAGE: English CATEGORY: Driver Diskettes DIVISION: N/A OPERATING SYSTEM: Red Hat 7.3 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION: All shipping configurations PREREQUISITES: N/A EFFECTIVE DATE: Mar 24,2004 ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes SOFTPAQ UTILITY VERSION: N/A SUPERSEDES: N/A DESCRIPTION: This driver diskette image provides the binary driver module pre-built for Linux Red Hat 7.3 to enable ProLiant Smart Array 6i, 640x, 64x, 5i, 53xx Series controllers. Using this driver diskette at Red Hat 7.3 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 Linux Red Hat 7.3 installation CD. This driver diskette was created to be used with kernel 2.4.18-3 of Red Hat 7.3 FIXES ~~~~~ 1) Ported web release changes into 2.4.50. * Fixed three issues that were resolved after Smart Start 7.0 High Cutoff * date. * bcm5700 6.2.17a fails to load on base SLES7 kernel * CPQ_CISS v.2.4.48-4 causes Boot menu to default to HP-2.4.7-4GB but * kernel is actually 2.4.64GB-SMP * Default initrd incorrect should be SMP/enterprise but is set to UP 2) Changed variable type to cover cases when the logical volume size is >1TB. 3) Added fix to enable pre-fetch in the SCSI core for Smart Array for x86 architecture only. Required for firmware >= 1.86. 4) Fixed issue in install script that prevented cciss.o driver from being backed-up on SuSE systems. 5) Fixed an issue where drivers where not being installed properly on RHEL3 systems. 6) Fixed uninstall issue with UL and RHEL 2.1 7) Fixed GRUB naming issue with UL 8) Fixed install script to allow rpm to build an initrd for smp or bigmem kernels even if the hardware is not smp or bigmem. KNOWN ISSUES: - None ENHANCEMENTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1) Added Smart Array 6i support. 2) Added support for Linux distributions and errata kernels. 3) Added support for Modular Smart Array 500 G2. 4) Added support for Smart Array v100. 5) Added support for Modular Smart Array 20. 6) Added support for One Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) with Smart Array. 7) Added logic to install scripts to warn user when driver versions are the same or newer than the driver to be installed. 8) Added kernels supported to the rpm release notes file. CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette: MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS: 1) Save the "cpq_cciss-2.4.50-18.rh73.i386.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use WINZIP to extract "cpq_cciss-2.4.50-18.rh73.i386.dd" from this file into the same directory. Please ensure that "cpq_cciss-2.4.50-18.rh73.i386.dd" is a DOS 8.3 name. 2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the Red Hat 7.3 CD in the "dosutil" directory. 3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "ProLiant Red Hat 7.3 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: cpq_cciss-2.4.50-18.rh73.i386.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 "cpq_cciss-2.4.50-18.rh73.i386.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract "cpq_cciss-2.4.50-18.rh73.i386.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 7.3 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command: # dd if=cpq_cciss-2.4.50-18.rh73.i386.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=cpq_cciss-2.4.50-18.rh73.i386.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 7.3" Driver Diskette, boot your Linux machine with your Red Hat 7.3 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 updates dd Red Hat 7.3 will prompt for the Updates Diskette and the ProLiant Red Hat 7.3 Driver Diskette during the installation procedure.
