●
68
Installing on Solaris
To install the driver on Solaris:
1
Start your computer.
2
Check for any pre-existing Adaptec driver by performing a
pkginfo SUNWaac
in a terminal
window. If there is no pre-existing Adaptec driver on your computer, continue with
Step 3
.
If an Adaptec driver is already installed on your computer, perform a
pkgrm SUNWaac
to
remove it.
Caution:
If your operating system currently boots from the Adaptec controller,
do not
reset your computer after you remove the pre-existing Adaptec driver. Instead, follow
the steps in this section to install a new driver before rebooting your computer.
3
Insert and mount the driver disk:
volcheck
4
Change to the driver installer directory:
cd /rmdisk/aacraid/DU/sol_210/i86pc/Tools
5
Start the driver installer:
./install.sh -i
6
Remove the driver disk, then reboot your computer.
7
Continue with
Managing Your Storage Space
on page 70
.
Installing on VMware
Note:
You must remove the old driver package before installing the new driver. You must have
root privileges to install the new driver.
To install the driver on VMware:
1
Start your computer, then insert the Adaptec RAID Controller Installation DVD.
2
At the VMware console screen, type these commands to remove the old driver:
esxupdate query --vib-view | grep -i aacraid
(list driver packages)
esxupdate -b <
vibID
>
--maintenancemode remove
(remove package)
where
vibID
is the full name of the driver package.
Note:
For VMware 4.0 or earlier, use the rpm -e command to remove the driver.
3
Mount the Adaptec RAID Controller Installation DVD:
mount –r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
4
Copy the .vib file for your operating system version from the Linux driver folder on the
installation DVD to a local directory on the VMware server:
mkdir /tmp/aacraid
cp /mnt/cdrom/linux/driver/vmware-esx-drivers-scsi-aacraid-400.4.1.7.27900-
1.0.4.260247.x86_64.vib /tmp/aacraid
