Linux Driver Support
Driver modules for all supported kernel versions will be extracted. The driver module
for the active kernel is located under the directory that matches the kernel version (/
tmp/‘uname –r‘/rr2310_00.ko).
After you have extracted the driver module, you can load it by following commands:
# modprobe sd_mod
# insmod rr2310_00.ko
Arrays attached to the adapter can be accessed as SCSI devices (e.g. /dev/sda).
Step 2 Mounting and Partitioning the Device
Example: A RAID array has been configured between several hard disks.
This array will be registered to the system as device “/dev/sda”.
To create a partition on this array (which will listed as /dev/sda1), use the “fdisk /
dev/sda” command.
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 rr2310_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 rr2310_00.ko file is located):
# install -d /lib/modules/‘uname –r‘/kernel/drivers/scsi
# install -c rr2310_00.ko /lib/modules/‘uname –r‘/kernel/drivers/scsi
