Linux Rocky Linux on SSD7540/7505/7502/7202/7105 Installation Guide

3 Monitoring the Driver

Once the driver is running, you can monitor it through the Linux proc file system support.
There is a special file under /proc/scsi/hptnvme /. Through this file you can view driver
status and send control commands to the driver.
Note
The file name is the SCSI host number allocated by OS. If you have no other SCSI cards
installed, it will be 0. In the following sections, we will use x to represent this number.
Using the following command to show driver status:
# cat /proc/scsi/hptnvme /x
This command will show the driver version number, physical device list and logical device
list.

HighPoint RAID Management Software is used to configure and keep track of your hard
disks and RAID arrays attached to SSD7000 controller. Installation of the management
software is optional but recommended.
