Driver Installation Under
Linux
Note:
Before installing the 3ware driver, you must have
already installed your 3ware RAID controller in the
system.
A drive or unit managed by the 3ware RAID controller may be
configured to be your system’s boot device. Or, you can use another
device as your boot device, such as a disk attached to the
motherboard.
The steps you follow to install the driver and make your RAID unit
available depend on which version of Linux you are using, and
whether it will be your boot device. This chapter provides step-by-
step instructions for the following situations:
Red Hat Linux Installation
Installing the 3ware driver and Red Hat Linux on a new
drive or unit (page 68).
Installing the 3ware driver on a system that boots Red Hat
Linux from a different device (page 70).
SuSE Linux Installation
Installing the 3ware driver and SuSE Linux with YaST2 on
a new drive or unit (page 81).
Installing the 3ware driver on a system that boots SuSE
Linux from a different device (page 81).
