Linux Driver Support

1 – SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) installation

Overview

This section provides instructions describing how to install and utilize the

RocketRAID host adapter on a SuSE (SLES) Linux system.

2 - Installing SLES Linux on the RocketRAID 230x

Host Adapter

Note: If the OS is running kernel that differs from the one supported by the

precompiled driver, the precompiled drivers cannot be used. A driver can be built for

this kernel using the OpenSource package for the RocketRAID host adapter. This

package is available from our website, and is posted on the BIOS/Driver page for the

corresponding RocketRAID host adapter.

To install SLES onto hard disks or RAID arrays attached to RocketRAID host adapter,

follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1 Prepare the Driver Diskette

The driver is contained in a floppy diskette image file (slesdd.img).

On a DOS or Windows system, a driver diskette can be generated using rawrite.exe.

This utility is included on the SLES Linux CD (under /dosutils). Run rawrite using a

command prompt window, and follow the directions it provides.

On a Linux system, use the “dd” command to generate a boot diskette. Insert a

floppy disk into the floppy drive and type the following command:

# dd if=SLESdd.img of=/dev/fd0

Step 2 Install SLES Linux

1. Start the install procedure by booting from SLES installation CD.
