k. Follow the prompts to complete the driver installation.
l. After the installation is complete, you can perform system update operations.

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.

4 Installing RAID Management Software

HighPoint RAID Management Software is used to configure and keep track of your hard
disks and RAID arrays attached to
software is optional but recommended.
Please refer to HighPoint RAID Management Software documents for more information.

5 Rebuilding Driver Module for System Update

When the system updates the kernel packages, the driver module hptnvme.ko should be
built and installed manually before reboot.
Please refer to the REAME file distributed with HighPoint
on how to build and install the driver module.
