FILE NAME: cpq_cciss-4.6.20-21.sles11.x86_64.dd.gz TITLE: Driver diskette for HP Proliant Smart Array Controller (AMD64/EM64T) for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 11 (AMD64/EM64T) VERSION: 4.6.20-21 LANGUAGE: English CATEGORY: Driver Diskettes DIVISION: N/A OPERATING SYSTEM: SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 11 (AMD64/EM64T) ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes DESCRIPTION: This driver diskette image provides the binary driver module pre-built for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 11 to enable ProLiant Smart Array SAS/SATA, 6x and 5x Series controllers. 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 * Thu Apr 2 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 4.6.20-21 - 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. * Mon Mar 23 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 4.6.20-20 ENHANCEMENTS * Thu Apr 2 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 4.6.20-21 * Mon Mar 23 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 4.6.20-20 - Initial SUSE LINUX Enterprise 11 support. SUPPORTED KERNELS: The kernels of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 11 (AMD64/EM64T) supported by this driver diskette are: 2.6.27.19-5 - SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 11 (AMD64/EM64T) SUPPORTED DEVICES AND FEATURES Smart Array P800 Controller Smart Array P712m Controller Smart Array P700m Controller Smart Array P600 Controller Smart Array E500 Controller Smart Array P411 Controller Smart Array P410i Controller Smart Array P410 Controller Smart Array P400 Controller Smart Array P400i Controller Smart Array P212 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-4.6.20-21.sles11.x86_64.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract "cpq_cciss-4.6.20-21.sles11.x86_64.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=cpq_cciss-4.6.20-21.sles11.x86_64.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=cpq_cciss-4.6.20-21.sles11.x86_64.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.
