SOFTPAQ NUMBER: N/A PART NUMBER: N/A FILE NAME: mptlinux-2.06.44.02-1.sles8.i586.dd.gz TITLE: Driver diskette for HP U320 SCSI Adapter and SAS HBA with RAID (x86/AMD32) for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 (x86) VERSION: 2.06.44.02-1 LANGUAGE: English CATEGORY: Driver Diskettes DIVISION: N/A OPERATING SYSTEM: SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 (x86) EFFECTIVE DATE: Sep 25,2006 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 SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 to enable the HP ProLiant 64-bit/133-MHz Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA and HP U320 64-Bit Single Channel SCSI G2 HBA, HP U320 64-Bit Single Channel SCSI HBA, HP 8 Internal Port SAS/SATA HBA with RAID and HP 4 Internal Port SAS HBA with RAID. Using this driver diskette at SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 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 8 installation CD. FIXES - None ENHANCEMENTS - Added support for SAS Tapes The kernels of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 supported by this driver diskette are: 2.4.21-278 - SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 SP 4 (x86) INSTALLATION To install Linux using this "ProLiant SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8" Driver Diskette, boot your Linux machine with your SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 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 dd SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 will prompt for the Updates Diskette and the ProLiant SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 Driver Diskette during the installation procedure. CAUTION: If ProLiant Support Pack version 7.40 or older is installed, please install mptlinux-2.06.44.02-1.sles8.i586.dd.gz prior to rebooting the system. Note: If HP System Insight Manager support is required, please install the mptlinux-2.06.44.02-1.sles8.i586.dd.gz after the OS has completed its installation process and is successfully booting. NOTES CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette: MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS: 1) Save the "mptlinux-2.06.44.02-1.sles8.i586.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use WINZIP to extract "mptlinux-2.06.44.02-1.sles8.i586.dd" from this file into the same directory. Please ensure that "mptlinux-2.06.44.02-1.sles8.i586.dd" is a DOS 8.3 name. 2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 CD in the "dosutil" directory. 3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "ProLiant SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 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: mptlinux-2.06.44.02-1.sles8.i586.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 "mptlinux-2.06.44.02-1.sles8.i586.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract "mptlinux-2.06.44.02-1.sles8.i586.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 8 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command: # dd if=mptlinux-2.06.44.02-1.sles8.i586.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=mptlinux-2.06.44.02-1.sles8.i586.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.
