Driver Installation Driver Installation Under Red Hat Linux or Fedora Core Materials required • 3ware software CD-ROM • Floppy diskette, if you need to create a driver install diskette. • Red Hat Linux installation DVD or CD-ROM. (Not required if Red Hat Linux is already installed on another drive.) Creating a Red Hat Linux Driver Diskette If you are installing Linux on the new drive or unit managed by the 3ware RAID controller, you must create a 3ware driver install diskette. If Linux is already installed on another device, you may install the 3ware kernel driver module from the 3ware software CD-ROM. To create a Red Hat Linux driver install diskette 1 Insert the AMCC 3ware software CD into your Linux system. A GUI such as X windows is required to load the 3ware menu. To manually mount the cd, type: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt To start autorun, type: /mnt/autorun When it starts, you will be asked to agree to the AMCC software license. To continue, click Agree. 2 When the AMCC 3ware Menu appears, click the Driver Disk Images button. 3 In the AMCC 3ware Driver Disk Images menu, click the button for the driver disk you want to create. A confirmation window opens. 4 Insert a blank diskette into a drive and click the Yes button to begin creating the driver floppy diskette. Note: If you need to create a Linux driver diskette for a Linux distribution other that what is available on the menu, see 3ware knowledgebase article 14546 http://www.3ware.com/kb/article.aspx?id=14546 44 3ware SAS/SATA RAID Software User Guide, Version 9.5.1
