4 - Updating the Driver

1.

If the original driver is installed in the system’s initrd (Initial RAM Disk) file

(when using a system installed to RockeRAID host adapter, for example), the

driver module in the initrd file should be updated using the mkinitrd command

(or extract the initrd file and replace the driver module manually).

2.

If the original driver is installed in the /lib/modules/‘uname –r‘/kernel/drivers/

scsi/ directory, and loaded by the script file (Example /etc/init.d/hptdriver) during

the init process, or the configure file (Example /etc/modules.conf), please replace

it with the new driver (rr2310_00.o or rr2310_00.ko).

5 - Uninstalling the Driver

To uninstall the RocketRAID 231x driver

Note: The driver cannot be uninstalled while the system is booted from a disk or array

attached to the RocketRAID host adapter.

To uninstall the driver, remove the lines added to /etc/fstab, and remove the files

created in the /etc/init.d directory.
