Checking Devices Status

Using the following command to show driver status:

# cat /proc/scsi/rr2644/x

This command will show the driver version number, physical device list and logical

device list.

5 - Updating the Driver

To update the driver, simply reinstall the driver following the steps in previous

section, “ Install RR2644 Driver on an Existing System “.

Replace the driver module rr2644.ko in the /lib/modules/[kernel-ver]/kernel/drivers/

scsi/. If the driver is loaded in initrd (e.g. when system is installed on the controller),

you need to run mkinitrd to update the initrd file. Also, if you are using lilo boot

loader, you need to run lilo again.

6 - Installing RAID Management Software

HighPoint RAID Management Software is used to configure and keep track of your

hard disks and RAID arrays attached to RocketRAID controller. Installation of the

management software is optional but recommended.

To configure HighPoint RAID Management Software to work with RocketRAID

controller driver, you should setup /etc/hptcfg to be the driver name:

# echo rr2644 > /etc/hptcfg

Please refer to HighPoint RAID Management Software documents for more

information.

7 - Uninstalling

You can only uninstall the driver when your system is not booting from devices

attached to RR2644 controller. Just remove the the added before in the file rr2644 from

the file /etc/sysconfig/kerne and /etc/fstab, then, then the new initrd file.
