HighPoint RocketRAID 2300 - Manual (Page 59)

Linux Driver Support
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):
#cp rr2310_00.ko /lib/modules/‘uname –r‘/kernel/drivers/scsi.
#depmod
Then, instruct the system to load the module when booting. Use the following
commands:
#echo “modprobe rr2310_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”.
