3 - Installing RR3xxx/4xxx Driver on an Existing System
If you are currently running FreeBSD and would like to access drives or arrays
attached to the RR3xxx/4xxx Controller, you can perform the following steps.
Step 1 Copy the Driver Module
If you have made freebsd drivers into a diskette, you can insert the driver diskette to
floppy drive, then using the following commands to copy the driver module:
for FreeBSD 4.x:
# mount –o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt
# cp /mnt/hptiop-xxx.ko /modules/hptiop.ko
# umount /mnt
for FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x:
# mount –o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt
# cp /mnt/hptiop-xxx.ko /boot/kernel/hptiop.ko
# umount /mnt
You can also extract the files from .img files directly, without using a floppy diskette:
For FreeBSD 4.x:
# vnconfig vn0c rr3xxx/4xxx-bsd-xxx.img
# mount /dev/vn0c /mnt
# cp /mnt/hptiop-xxx.ko /modules/hptiop.ko
# vnconfig –du vn0c myfilesystem mount=/mnt
For FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x:
# mdconfig –a –t vnode –f rr3xxx/4xxx-bsd-xxx.img –u 0
# mount /dev/md0 /mnt
# cp /mnt/hptiop-xxx.ko /boot/kernel/hptiop.ko
# umount /mnt
# mdconfig –d –u md0
FreeBSD 7.x version natively supports RR3xxx/4xxx, and its built-in driver module
hptiop.ko is located at /boot/kernel/hptiop.ko.
Step 2 Test the Driver Module
You can test out the module to ensure that it works for your system by load it during
system booting.
If the module has been loaded successfully you should see the RR4320 banner and a
display screen of the attached drives. You can now access the drives as a SCSI device
