4 Installing Linux

This section discusses installation issues related to the Red Hat Linux operating systems. For a
successful installation, study the Linux system manuals thoroughly. The required Intel RAID
Controller SRCMR installation disks can be created from the RAID Software Suite system
CD-ROM. See Chapter 2 for instructions to create these disks.

Before you Begin

Available Drivers and Tools on the Intel RAID Controller SRCMR
Software Suite CD-ROM
gdth.tgz
storcon-2.00.gz
srcd-1.09-redhat.tgz

Assumptions About Path Names

Since the user may have received StorCon on the CD-ROM or as a download from the web, and
because Linux administrators may mount volumes with a variety of names, certain assumptions
were made in this document.
Table 12.

Linux Path Names

Path Names
/mnt/cdrom
$
/dev/hda
Intel RAID Controller SRCMR driver sources
StorCon for i386 systems, version 2.00
Remote RAID Configuration Service with start/stop script for Red Hat
Linux, version 1.09
Note
If the Linux driver and StorCon is not being installed from the CD-ROM, the
/mnt/cdrom part of the path may be changed to the proper directory.
Assumes this is your current directory level.
Path entries such as the example on the right are assumptions and may be
changed to match what the administrator has selected for the particular system.
