Linux(Fedora,Red Hat,SuSE) Driver Support

E.g. # insmod scsi_mod

# insmod sd_mod

# insmod rr26xx

2. You are using a kernel that is build off a different configuration with the driver. In

this case the precompiled drivers cannot be used. You can build a driver for your

kernel using the OpenBuild package for RocketRAID 26xx controller.

To ensure the module has been loaded successfully, you can check the driver status

by typing in the command “cat /proc/scsi/rr26xx/x”, where x is the filename you found

under /proc/scsi/rr26xx/. You should see the driver banner and a list of attached

drives. You can now access the drives as a SCSI device (the first device is /dev/sda,

then /dev/sdb, etc.).

Example:You have configured a RAID 5 array using 4 disks. It will be registered to

system as device /dev/sda. You can use “fdisk /dev/sda” to create a partition on it,

which will be /dev/sda1, and use “mkfs /dev/sda1” to setup a file system on the

partition. Then you can mount /dev/sda1 to somewhere to access it.

Step 3 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver

Most likely, you will not want to type in “insmod rr26xx” each time you boot up the

system. You can add the driver to the initial RAM disk image to load the driver at boot

time:

1. Edit the file “/etc/sysconfig/kernel”, and add the rr26xx module to the line

INITRD_MODULES=…,e.g

Example:

INITRD_MODULES=”reiserfs rr26xx”

2. Run the “depmod” command to update the module configuration:

# depmod

3. Next, run the “mkinitrd” command to update the initrd file:

# mkinitrd

4. If you are using the lilo boot loader, run lilo again:

# lilo
