Unix Environment

The following sections explain how to install the UNIX drivers on a
boot container during an operating system installation and, after an
installation, on a data container for all supported UNIX operating
systems.
The UNIX drivers for your controller may be delivered on a
CDROM or may be downloaded from the Hewlett-Packard web site.

Installing the UNIX Drivers on a Boot Container

To install the UNIX drivers to a boot container follow these steps
during a new installation of your UNIX operating system.
Note:
The hpnraid.img driver is intended only for use with
a boot container. It will not work correctly on a data
container.
Note:
Before performing a boot container installation, create
a driver diskette. For more information, see Creating Driver
Diskettes on page 4-2
Linux
The Linux driver is now part of the standard open source
distribution. Obtain the Linux operating system from an open
source provider. For example, download the operating system
from an open source web site such as www.redhat.com and
follow their instructions for loading the driver for the
HP NetRAID-4M controller, which on the open source
distribution is called the aacraid driver.
