Compiling the Driver (For experts only)
If you wish to compile the driver yourself (for a different kernel
version that you are running), then perform the following steps.
1
Copy the driver source from the floppy or CD-ROM into a
working directory.
2
Untar the driver source with the command,
tar zxf 3w-
xxxx.tgz
.
3
You must have a full Linux kernel source tree in /usr/src/linux in
order to do the compile.
4
For Red Hat 7.2 and later versions:
Red Hat 7.2 and later support multiple build targets from make-
file. Boot to UP version of kernel to build against:
To build UP module, type:
make -f Makefile.rh
The file created is 3w-xxxx.o
To build SMP module, type:
make smp -f Makefile.rh
The file created is 3w-xxxx.smp
To build Enterprise module, type:
make ent -f Makefile.rh
The file created is 3w-xxxx.ent
5
Copy the module as follows:
For 2.4 kernels, copy module to:
/lib/modules/***kernel string***/kernel/drivers/
scsi/3w-xxxx.o
RAID array initialization
RAID 0 arrays do not need to be initialized and are immediately
available for use with full performance when created.
RAID 1 and 10 arrays are not initialized when created and are
immediately available for use with full performance when created.
The first time the array is verified (via the BIOS or 3ware 3DM),
