Driver diskette image for Proliant Linux driver for the Smart Array 5i, 5300 Series for Red Hat 8.0 (2.4.18-14 kernel) Version 2.4.32-2 (9 Sep 02) This driver diskette image provides the binary driver module pre-built for Red Hat Linux 8.0 (2.4.18-14 kernel) to enable Proliant Smart Array 53xx and Smart Array 5i controllers. Using this driver diskette at Red Hat Linux 8.0 installation time allows the most up-to-date driver version included in the diskette to be used, rather than default driver version contained in the Red Hat Linux 8.0 installation CD. Fixes Add back IOCTL to rescan disk Allow rescaning the disk that was reserved by another system (Fix for SteelEye LiveKeeper for Linux) Handle 3rd party resets that would be seen by the array controller in a cluster configuration with the 4-port Smart Array Storage Cluster. Fix problem where CISS driver failed to delete an insequential array Fix problem where CISS driver would lock first logical drive if more than one logical drives are created Creating a driver diskette There are two methods to creating the Installation Diskette: MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS: 1) Save the “cpq_cciss_2.4.32-rh80.dd.gz” file into a temporary directory. Use WINZIP to extract “cpq_ccciss_2.4.32-rh80.dd” from this file into the same directory. 2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the Red Hat Linux CD in the "dosutils" directory. 3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "Proliant Red Hat 8.0 Driver Diskette". 4) Insert the diskette in the diskette drive then, use the following command (assuming your Proliant Disk Image is at the location c: and your CD-ROM is drive d:) C:\> d:\dosutils\rawrite 5) Enter disk image source file name: cpq_cciss_2.4.32-rh80.dd 6) Enter target diskette drive "a:" and insert a formatted diskette into drive A:. Press ENTER. MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS: 1) Save the “cpq_cciss_2.4.32-rh80.dd.gz” file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract “cpq_ccciss_2.4.32-rh80.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) Label a blank, formatted diskette appropriately (Proliant Red Hat 8.0 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command: # dd if=cpq_ccciss_2.4.32-rh80.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=cpq_ccciss_2.4.32-rh80.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.

For support for Proliant Smart Array controllers, please send email to support@compaq.com . Installation To install Linux using this Proliant Red Hat 8.0 Driver Diskette, boot your linux machine with your Red Hat 8.0 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 will prompt for the Updates Diskette and the Proliant Red Hat 8.0 Driver Diskette during the installation procedure.
