FILE NAME: hpahcisr-1.2.1-3.rhel4.i686.dd.gz TITLE: Driver diskette for HP Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller (x86/AMD32) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86) VERSION: 1.2.1-3 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 software RAID for the embedded ICH10R controller. Using this driver diskette at Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 installation time is required to enable software RAID on systems with the embedded ICH10R controller. FIXES * Thu Apr 16 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 1.2.1-3 - Change to driver build process to reduce driver size and reducing Driver Diskette size to fit on a floppy. * Fri Apr 3 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 1.2.1-2 - Update to drive LED support. - Update to driver to better support drive reporting by HP server agents. * Mon Mar 23 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 1.2.1-1 ENHANCEMENTS * Thu Apr 16 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 1.2.1-3 * Fri Apr 3 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 1.2.1-2 * Mon Mar 23 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 1.2.1-1 - Added drive HotPlug support. - Added drive LED support. - Added support for up to 6 drives. - Port to SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 11. SUPPORTED KERNELS: The kernels of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86) supported by this driver diskette are: 2.6.9-67.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 6 (x86) 2.6.9-78.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 7 (x86) SUPPORTED DEVICES AND FEATURES Embedded ICH10R Controller CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS: 1) Save the "hpahcisr-1.2.1-3.rhel4.i686.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract "hpahcisr-1.2.1-3.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=hpahcisr-1.2.1-3.rhel4.i686.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=hpahcisr-1.2.1-3.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 *** Important Note for RHEL5 ONLY *** Once the OS is installed but before clicking the reboot button do the following. Failure to do so will cause the system to panic and not boot. 1. press CTRL+ALT+F2 2. cp -a /tmp/ramfs/DD-0 /mnt/sysimage/tmp 3. chroot /mnt/sysimage 4. cd /tmp/DD-0 5. sh ./fix_driver_order 6. cd / 7. press CTRL+ALT_F6 and click reboot *** Important Note for SLES10 & SLES11 *** SLES10 32-bit: Two boot options required are: "broken_modules=ahci" and "pci=noapic" SLES10 64-bit: One boot option required is: "broken_modules=ahci" SLES11 32-bit: One boot option required is: "broken_modules=ahci" SLES11 64-bit: One boot option required is: "broken_modules=ahci" NOTES MD5SUM: aba34896fb6c3b7de41aa4f363eff9c4 Feedback -------- To provide kernel/driver development feedback send email to iss_storagedev@hp.com Customer Service ---------------- For support for ProLiant Smart Array controllers, please visit http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/contact_us.html Copyright 2002-2009 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
