This RPM provides a customer friendly approach to install a pre-built binary driver. FIXES Resolved issue with sharing an irq with another controller. Updated the rpm installer scripts to correctly identify the kernel image in the boot configuration file. Added fix to enable pre-fetch in the SCSI core for Smart Array for x86architecture only. Required for firmware >= 1.86. ENHANCEMENTS Added support for the following: Devfs file system. Detecting controller failure. (see notes in detect death patch) Greater than 8 controllers in the system. Updated the following: To ensure that if no pci devices are found, the driver is unregistered. To use __devinit instead of __init. The author and version numbers. IMPORTANT: Additional instructions may be viewed: rpm -q -i -p cpq_cciss-2.4.48-12.rh80.i686.rpm | more Please read this section before proceeding. This RPM will install binary drivers that will only work with the default Linux Red Hat 8.0 kernel, and configuration that it has been built for. Earlier or later versions of Red Hat 8.0 are not supported. Special actions are required if you have modified the default kernel configuration that RedHat ships for their Red Hat 8.0 product. If you have modified the default kernel configuration you will need to rebuild the kernel to use the updated drivers after installing the RPM with the --noscripts option. The cciss driver RPM will not install if it detects that your configuration is different from the Red Hat 8.0 default Server configuration. This driver RPM will not install if the loopback device is not configured but the initrd image is requested since the loopback device is required to create the initrd image. INSTALLATION Login as the system administrator (root), download the RPM to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. To install the driver type: # rpm -ivh cpq_cciss-2.4.48-12.rh80.i686.rpm Setup is now complete. Please REBOOT your computer NOW!! To upgrade the driver type: # rpm -Uvh cpq_cciss-2.4.48-12.rh80.i686.rpm Upgrade is Now Complete. Please REBOOT your computer NOW!! NOTE: If the installation fails or if you see any warning or error messages, STOP, do NOT reboot the computer. The driver will not be operational and you must uninstall the driver by typing the following command: # rpm -e cpq_cciss-2.4.48-12 The removal of the RPM restores the original cciss.o module, and builds a new initrd image with the previous driver object module (if any) and adds yet another grub or lilo entry. You can then boot using this newest lilo or grub entry, (provided the building of the new initrd image goes well), or your original lilo or grub entry. The successful installation will replace the driver that shipped with Red Hat 8.0 with the version of the driver, create a new Initial RAM Disk Image (initrd) that contains the cpq_cciss-2.4.48-12 version of the driver and modify /etc/lilo.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst) to allow the Linux Loader, lilo (or grub) to boot using the new ramdisk image. Backups of your previous files will be kept in the /usr/src/COMPAQ/driver_backup directory. The driver version can be verified by typing: # strings /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/block/cciss.o | grep HP Expect output similar to: HP CCISS Driver (v cpq_cciss) The driver will be inserted in the Initial RAM Disk Image (initrd) and is automatically loaded every time the server boots, provided it is listed in /etc/modules.conf, which, normally, it is. To load the module use the insmod command, type: # insmod cciss Expect the following output if you have Symmetric Multi-Processing support enabled: Using /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/block/cciss.o Expect the following output if you have a single processor server: Using /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/block/cciss.o Expect the following output if your server is using the RedHat Enterprise Linux 2.1 kernel: Using /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/addon/cciss/cciss.o NOTE: You will experience error messages if the Smart Array controller is not installed. Please ensure that the hardware is installed properly. NOTE: If the hardware is properly installed and you experience error messages loading the modules, remove the entire RPM by typing: # rpm -e cpq_cciss-2.4.48-12 The removal of the RPM will restore the driver modules, and rebuild and initrd image for the running kernel and create appropriate entries in /etc/lilo.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst). Additionally you should still be able to boot using the previous entries still in /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst, provided the driver modules are restored, or were (and thus still are) in the initrd image. To check whether the driver is loaded properly, type: # lsmod Expect to see the module name cciss displayed. If you attempt to install the RPM on an unsupported system, you will get an error message. The driver will not be operational and must be uninstalled by typing the following command: # rpm -e cpq_cciss-2.4.48-12 NOTES MD5SUM: 370f764606d14771e48f3f7bb0cf8c7e Feedback -------- To provide kernel/driver development feedback send email to iss_storagedev@hp.com Customer Service ---------------- For support for ProLiant Smart Array controllers, please send email to contact.hp@hp.com.
