SOFTPAQ NUMBER: N/A PART NUMBER: N/A FILE NAME: cpq_cciss-2.4.48-4.sles7.i386.dd.gz TITLE: Driver diskette image for ProLiant Linux driver for Smart Array 640x, 64x, 5i, 53xx Series controllers for SuSE-SLES7 VERSION: 6.sles7.i386.dd.gz LANGUAGE: English CATEGORY: Storage Controllers DIVISION: N/A OPERATING SYSTEM: SuSE-SLES7 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION: All shipping configurations PREREQUISITES: N/A EFFECTIVE DATE: Sep 17,2003 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 SuSE-SLES7 to enable ProLiant Smart Array 640x, 64x, 5i, 53xx Series controllers. Using this driver diskette at SuSE-SLES7 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 SuSE-SLES7 installation CD. FIXES ~~~~~ 1. Support for the devfs file system. 2. Support for detecting controller failure. (see notes in detect death patch) 3. Support for greater than 8 controllers in the system. General code cleanup for kernel.org submission. Enhancements to the shell scripts. 4. Ensures that if no pci devices are found, we unregister the driver. Otherwise, the next driver to call pci_register_driver() will oops. 5. Use pci_module_init() wrapper instead of pci_register_driver() for the above fix, and to ensure the correct return code for CONFIG_HOTPLUG and MODULE. 6. Use __devinit instead of __init. 7. Changes the author and version numbers to Hewlett-Packard and 2.4.48. 8. Fixes issue with sharing an irq with another controller. 9. Adopted naming convention outlined in the ISSG Versioning and Naming Standards v. 1.0 ENHANCEMENTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~ CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette: MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS: 1) Save the "cpq_cciss-2.4.48-sles7.i386.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use WINZIP to extract "cpq_cciss-2.4.48.sles7.i386.dd" from this file into the same directory. Please ensure that "cpq_cciss-2.4.48.sles7.i386.dd" is a DOS 8.3 name. 2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the SuSE-SLES7 CD in the "dosutil" directory. 3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "ProLiant SuSE-SLES7 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-2.4.48.sles7.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-2.4.48-sles7.i386.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract "cpq_cciss-2.4.48-sles7.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 SuSE-SLES7 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command: # dd if=cpq_cciss-2.4.48-sles7.i386.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=cpq_cciss-2.4.48-sles7.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 SuSE-SLES7" Driver Diskette, boot your Linux machine with your SuSE-SLES7 CD1 in your CD-ROM Drive. The installation workflow performs the following steps: o syslinux boots o the user presses "ALT" (optional, if medium change is necessary) o syslinux prompts the user for an "update medium" (e.g. floppy or CD-ROM) o the user inserts the medium and presses "Enter" o syslinux boots into the "update" mode of linuxrc o linuxrc mounts the medium o linuxrc copies all files from /linux/suse/-/install into a directory "install" in a RAM disk mounted below /update (max. 8MB), all files will be flagged as "executable" o linuxrc loads all driver modules below /linux/suse/-/modules by first unloading all modules with the same name and loading the new modules from this directory (in the order the modules have been installed on the medium! Take care of this if your driver modules depend on other modules being loaded first) o linuxrc unmounts the update medium o now linuxrc kicks back and starts YaST1 or YaST2 to do the installation o before starting the installation of packages, YaST1/YaST2 first execute /update/install/update.pre o after the initial installation, YaST1 / YaST2 extract /update/install/update.tar.gz in the root directory of the installed system and run /update/install/update.post afterwards. NOTE: This driver diskette image contains an updated version of the SuSE installer, YaST2. This is required to support more than HBA installed in a server.
