FreeBSD Driver Support
system to automatically load the driver, type in the following commands:
# echo ’rr26xx_load=”YES”’ >> /boot/defaults/loader.conf
This tells the loader to try loading the RR26xx module together with the kernel.
Now, reboot the system. RR26xx module should be automatically loaded each time
system start up.
Note: If FreeBSD you installed is 4.x version, you should type the following com-
mand to configure your system:
# mknod /dev/rr26xx c 200 0
Then, please check whether node“/dev/rr26xx”exists in /dev directory.
Step 4 Configure the System to Mount Volumes at Startup
Instruct the system to automatically mount the array by modifying the file /etc/fstab.
Example: Add the following line to instruct the system to mount /dev/da1s1e to
location /mnt/hpt after startup:
/dev/da1s1e /mnt/hpt ufs rw 0 0
4 - Updating the Driver
To update the driver with a new version you simply reinstall the driver following the
previous section, “Install the driver on an existing system”.
5 - Installing RAID Management Software
HighPoint RAID Management Software is used to configure and keep track of your
hard disks and RAID arrays attached to RR26xx controller. Installation of the manage-
ment software is optional but recommended.
To configure HighPoint RAID Management Software to work with RR26xx driver, you
should setup /etc/hptcfg to be the driver name:
# echo rr26xx > /etc/hptcfg
Please refer to HighPoint RAID Management Software documents for more
