Setting Utility. If you have no other SCSI adapters installed, the device marked as
"BOOT" or "HDD0" will be /dev/sda, "HDD1" will be /dev/sdb, "HDD2" will be /
dev/sdc, etc. When creating mount points, you must mount /boot on /dev/sda.
3 - Installing RR4320 Driver on an Existing System
If you are currently running Linux and would like to access drives or arrays attached
to the Rocket RAID 4320 controller, you can perform the following steps.
Note:If you use a SCSI adapter to boot your system, you must make sure the RR4320
controller BIOS will be loaded after that adapter's BIOS. If not, try to move it to
another PCI slot. Otherwise you may be unable to boot up your system.
Step 1 Update Grub
If you are running SLES SMP System, you must update /boot/grub/menu.lst first.
