All of these are common components that can be found on the OS installation media, and are installed by default on a Standard Linux install. If you do not have a necessary component, the driver installer will inform you. 1.6 Update Contents: o ibm_dd_sraidmr_00.00.04.17_rhel5_32-64.exe - Driver update package o ibm_dd_sraidmr_00.00.04.17_rhel5_32-64.chg - Change history2.0 Installation and setup instructions_ This package can be used with several of IBMs update management tools, including IBM UpdateXpress Manager, IBM UpdateXpress System Packs, IBM ToolsCenter Bootable Media Creator, and IBM Director. It can also be used as a standalone package. To use the package with one of IBMs update management tools, follow the instructions that came with your specific management tool. 2.1 Standalone usage instructions - The driver package contains the following: Binary RPMs: compiled for the kernels of the three most recent major service packs or update releases (may work on other kernels as well, as long as the Kernel Application Binary Interface (kABI) is consistent between the kernels) Installation tools: to install the binary RPMs in an automated fashion on supported kernels Source RPM: to create a binary driver for kernels where a pre-compiled binary will not work ISO images: to create media containing a driver to use during operating system installation (these are provided for the three most recent major service packs or update releases) To use any of the components in this package, first do the following: 1) Copy the ibm_dd_sraidmr_00.00.04.17_rhel5_32-64.tgz package into a temporary directory. Change into the temporary directory, and execute all further commands there. 2) Type tar xzf ibm_dd_sraidmr_00.00.04.17_rhel5_32-64.tgz Next, complete the steps for your specific use: To install a binary RPM on one of the supported kernels: 3) Type ./install.sh -update -override -add-initrd -override - allows the driver to replace the in-distro driver, if that is what is currently running -add-initrd - is required on RHEL 5, SLES 10, and SLES 11 to create a new initrd for the kernel For detailed usage instructions for the install.sh script, please see the README.fixid which is included in the tgz package. To compile a binary driver for use on a non-supported kernel: *NOTE* The pre-compiled binaries will work on many kernels, as long as there is no kABI breakage. It is suggested that you try the above method for installing a binary RPM before using this manual compile and install method. If, for any reason, none of the binary RPMs will work, a clear error message will be returned. 3) Locate the source RPM under the SRPM directory. 4) Use the procedures native to your Linux distribution to compile and install the driver. To use the driver during installation of the Linux OS: 3) Locate the driver ISOs under the disks directory. 4) Choose the ISO that matches the kernel and architecture for the OS that you are installing: RHEL 5.1 - 2.6.18-53 RHEL 5.2 - 2.6.18-92 RHEL 5.3 - 2.6.18-128 RHEL 5.4 - 2.6.18-164 5) Use the native ISO-to-media application from your distribution to create a CD, USB key, or other media containing the driver. 6) During installation, type linux dd at the boot screen. The dd denotes that you wish to add the driver during installation. This option can be used with other boot options where necessary. 7) When prompted, insert/attach the driver media and select the desired driver. 2.2 Troubleshooting tips - None3.0 Configuration information_ For detailed setup instructions for your controller, refer to the documentation on the ServeRAID M Support CD.4.0 Unattended Mode_ To run this package in unattended mode, use the following command, executed in the directory containing the ibm_dd_sraidmr_00.00.04.17_rhel5_32-64.tgz package: NOTE: This command should all be entered on a single line, but is broken up here for readability. tar xzf ibm_dd_sraidmr_00.00.04.17_rhel5_32-64.tgz ; export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin ; ./install.sh -update -override -add-initrd5.0 Web Sites and Support Phone Number_ o You can find support and downloads for IBM products from the IBM Support Web site: /support/ You can find support and downloads specific to disk controllers by searching for the Disk Controller and RAID Software Matrix from the main support page. o For the latest compatibility information, see the IBM ServerProven Web site: /servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ o With the original purchase of an IBM hardware product, you have access to extensive support coverage.
