Next, use the "mkfs /dev/sda1" command to setup a file system on this partition.
Use the command "mkdir xxxx" to create a mount point for the RAID array.
Then, mount /dev/sda1 /xxxx in order to access it.
Note: xxxx represents the desired name of the mount point.
Step 3 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver
To avoid typing in "insmod hptiop_00.ko" each time the operating system is booted,
the system must be instructed to automatically load the module during bootup. To
install the module, type in the following commands (first change to the directory
where the proper hptiop_00.ko file is located):
# install -d /lib/modules/'uname –r'/kernel/drivers/scsi
# install -c hptiop_00.ko /lib/modules/'uname –r'/kernel/drivers/scsi
Then, instruct the system to load the module when booting. Use the following
commands:
#echo "modprobe hptiop_00" > /etc/init.d/hptdriver
#chmod 755 /etc/init.d/hptdriver
#ln –sf /etc/init.d/hptdriver /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S01hptdriver
#ln –sf /etc/init.d/hptdriver /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S01hptdriver
#ln –sf /etc/init.d/hptdriver /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S01hptdriver
Step 4 Configure System to Mount Volumes during Startup
The system can be instructed to automatically mount the array(s) during startup by
modifying the file"/etc/fstab".
For example, add the following line to tell the system to mount /dev/sda1 to location /
mnt/raid after startup:
/dev/sda1
/mnt/raid
4 - Updating the Driver
If you are not booting from disks attached to RocketRAID host adapter, you can
update the driver just by reinstalling it following the procedure outlined in the
previous section, "Installing the RocketRAID driver for an Existing System".
If you are running the system installed to a disk or array attached to the RocketRAID
host adapter:
6-7
ext2 defaults 0 0
