Installing Device Drivers For Linux 2.2.X (Or Later); Installing The Files From Cd-Rom After Installing Linux - IBM Netfinity ServeRAID-3H Installation And User Manual

Notes:
a. This instruction assumes that you installed NetWare in its default directory. If you did not install
NetWare in the NWSERVER directory on drive C, modify step 12 accordingly.
b. If any of the files you are installing already exist on the server, NetWare will prompt you to save
the older files. Although it is not necessary to save the older files, it might be useful to do so.
13. After the installation program copies all files, you can edit parameters (such as the ServeRAID slot
number) from the Driver IPSRAID Parameter Actions window.
14. After you edit the parameters, select Save Parameters and load driver to load the ServeRAID device
driver.
Note: If the device driver is not installed already and the operating system is installed on the
ServeRAID controller, an error message stating that the device driver failed to load should
appear after you did the previous step. If that happens, do the following:
a. Do step 15.
b. Shut down the server.
c. Restart the server by typing the following at the system prompt:
server
d. The device driver loads.
15. Press Esc to exit from the installation screens.
Note: If you want NetWare to load the ServeRAID device driver automatically during startup, you must
add the appropriate LOAD command (for example, load ipsraid.ham slot=1) to the NetWare
startup command file (usually C:\NWSERVER\STARTUP.NCF).

Installing device drivers for Linux 2.2.x (or later)

This section provides instructions for installing the ServeRAID device driver from CD-ROM and diskette.
You can install the device driver if Linux is already installed or when updating a previous device driver.

Installing the files from CD-ROM after installing Linux

Before proceeding, you must have already installed a Linux distribution onto your system. This set of
instructions assumes you already have a Linux system installed and want to add a ServeRAID to your
system.
1. Insert the IBM ServeRAID Support CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Type:
mount -t iso966 /dev/cdromdevicefile /mnt
where cdromdevicefile is the specific device file for the CD-ROM block device. Typically this is
/dev/cdrom.
3. Press Enter; then, type:
cd /usr/src
patch -p < /mnt/programs/linux/driver/ips-patch
4. Unmount the CD-ROM:
umount /mnt
5. Reconfigure and recompile your kernel.
Note: See the Linux Kernel-HOWTO for more information on configuring and recompiling your kernel.
