Updating The Driver; Installing Raid Management Software - HighPoint RocketRAID 4320 User Manual

Linux Driver Support

5 - Updating the Driver

1. If the original driver is installed in the system initrd file (e.g. when OS is installed
to RR4320 controller), you can update the driver as below:
# cp hptiop.ko /lib/modules/'uname –r'/updates/
# mkinitrd 'uname –r'
For FC2, the commands should be
# cp hptiop.ko /lib/modules/'uname –r'/kernel/drivers/scsi/
# mkinitrd –-preload scsi_mod –-preload sd_mod –-with=hptiop /boot/
initrd-'uname –r'.img 'uname –r'
It's recommended to backup the original initrd file before you update the driver.
2. If the original driver is installed in the /lib/modules/'uname –r'/kernel/drivers/scsi/
directory, and load it by the script file (e.g. /etc/init.d/hptdriver) during the init
process, please replace it with the new driver (hptiop.o or hptiop.ko)

HighPoint RAID Management Software is used to configure and keep track of your
hard disks and RAID arrays attached to RR4320 controller. Installation of the manage-
ment software is optional but recommended.
