3ware Escalade ATA RAID Controller User Guide
To install the 3ware driver
For FreeBSD Version 4.8:
The FreeBSD kernel already has an old 3ware driver embedded. You cannot
load the new driver on top of the existing driver, so you must first remove it.
1
Make sure the FreeBSD driver is in an accessible location.
2
Remove the old 3ware driver which is part of the kernel.
Change to this directory:
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf
Copy the configuration file to a custom file. For example, if the
configuration file is GENERIC, type:
cp GENERIC CUSTOM
Edit the custom file
vi CUSTOM
Comment out the line under RAID controllers that says
#device twe # 3ware Escalade
(move to that line and type #)
Save the file.
Follow FreeBSD instructions to rebuild the kernel and install the
new kernel.
3
Reboot with the rebuilt kernel.
4
Back up
/modules/twe.ko
5
Copy the driver file (twe.ko) to /modules
cp twe.ko /modules
6
Load the driver
kldload twe.ko
If units are present, you should see unit information in the system
log (usually,
/var/log/messages
).
To make the driver part of the kernel
1
Copy the 3ware driver source file archive (twe.tgz) to an accessible
location.
2
Unpack the 3ware driver source files.
3
Back up the original source files under
/sys/dev/twe
and
/sys/modules/twe
4
Copy the new source files (*.c *.h) to
/sys/dev/twe
