Hello, Forgive me for I am somewhat new towards rpath and linux.
I am trying to get my new Adaptec 3405 Sata/SAS raid card to be recognized by
openfiler
http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/ra
/SAS-3405/
this card is included in Adaptec AACRAID v1.1.5-2442
Can anyone tell me how to update or create a driver disk so i can dd a install?
anyone know how to find out what version of AACraid rpath has. I try to grep
and but have no luck.
I noticed that the Dynamic Kernel Module Source Code Support for Linux was in a
rpm format
http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/speed/raid
42_tgz.htm
How can i install this for openfiler as it doesn't have support for RPM?
Do i need to follow the line below on another linux box that supports rpm
o Make a driver disk from a set of built drivers:
dkms mkdriverdisk -k 2.4.21-4.ELBOOT,2.4.21-4.ELsmp,2.4.21-4.EL \
-d redhat -m aacraid -v 1.1.5.2442
dkms mkdriverdisk -k 2.6.11.4-20a-default,2.6.11.4-20a-smp \
-d suse -m aacraid -v 1.1.5.2442
Anyone have any tips? Thanks!
Installation:
-----------------------------------
o The aacraid-dkms-1.1.5-2442.tgz package includes two RPMs:
o dkms-2.0.13-1.noarch.rpm and
o aacraid-1.1.5.2442-dkms.noarch.rpm
o Download the package into a temporary directory (/tmp)
o Change to /tmp directory and untar the package:
o cd /tmp
tar xvzf aacraid-dkms-1.1.5-2442.tgz
o Install the rpms:
o rpm -Uvh dkms-2.0.13-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh aacraid-1.1.5.2442-dkms.noarch.rpm
o For your interest, the source rpm places driver
source contents in /usr/src/aacraid-1.1.5.2442
in case manual build intervention is required.
o Use the various dkms commands to accomplish your goals:
o Build and install a driver:
dkms add -m aacraid -v 1.1.5.2442
dkms build -m aacraid -v 1.1.5.2442
products in /var/lib/dkms/aacraid/1.1.5.xxxx/<kernel>/<arch>/module/
dkms install -m aacraid -v 1.1.5.2442
o Build a driver for a different system other than native:
dkms build -k 2.4.21-4.ELsmp -m aacraid -v 1.1.5.2442
dkms install -k 2.4.21-4.ELsmp -m aacraid -v 1.1.5.2442
o Make a driver disk from a set of built drivers:
dkms mkdriverdisk -k 2.4.21-4.ELBOOT,2.4.21-4.ELsmp,2.4.21-4.EL \
-d redhat -m aacraid -v 1.1.5.2442
dkms mkdriverdisk -k 2.6.11.4-20a-default,2.6.11.4-20a-smp \
-d suse -m aacraid -v 1.1.5.2442
o Check current status of dkms:
dkms status
Note: o The driver RPM is in DKMS format and requires user to install dkms
rpm (dkms-2.0.13-1.noarch.rpm) first.
o Additional support documentation:
o man dkms
o download http://linux.dell.com/dkms/dkms-ols2004.pdf for
theory and practice
------------------------------------
Additonal Information regarding how to use the .img files for a fresh Linux
OS installation:
Create the driver disk using the dd command (on a Linux machine).
- Using a UNIX/Linux system mount the drive containing the .img file,
- Insert a blank floppy disk in your disk drive
- Use the dd command to copy the image to the floppy by issueing the
following the command:
dd if=aacraid-driverdisk-1.1.5-2442-<arch>.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
Where <arch> is a combination name of operating system(s) release and
destination CPU architecture(s)
