Before you can start using X8 Accelerator devices you need to install two RPMs (or corresponding DEB packages in Ubuntu/
Debian):
1) Drivers RPM:
kmod-vgc-drivers-<distribution or kernel version>-<driver version>-<driver build>.x86_64.rpm
2) Utilities RPM:
vgc-utils-<driver version>-<driver build>.x86_64.rpm
The driver and utilities packages are available on the Seagate Support site. You will need to select your distribution version.
If you are using Oracle Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSUSE, or Fedora Core you will need to select your kernel
version. You can confirm you are running kernel version with the "uname -a" command.
Install the packages using the standard RPM or DPKG commands.
Red Hat, CentOS
# rpm -ivh vgc-utils-3.2-55402.C7.x86_64.rpm
# rpm -ivh kmod-vgc-redhat6.1+-3.2-55402.C7.x86_64.rpm
