stall the kernel packages first, you will need to update the initial ramdisks after installing the drivers. For
example:
# new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6.9-22.ELsmp
If you are updating to a newer kernel, you can build your own driver RPMS using the supplied source
RPM and build script:
# mount -t ext2 /dev/cdrom
# rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/SRPMS/aacraid*.src.rpm
# /mnt/cdrom/SRPMS/builddriver.sh aacraid.spec [arch] [version] \
[release]
# umount /dev/cdrom
For example, to re-build the AACRAID driver RPM for kernel 2.6.9-22.EL (x86_64):
# /mnt/cdrom/SRPMS/builddriver.sh aacraid.spec x86_64 2.6.9 22.EL
Make sure that the kernel-sources and the development tools are installed before trying to build the
packages. Starting with kernel 2.6.9-22.EL, the kernel-source package is no longer provided by RedHat.
To install the kernel-sources in this case perform the following steps:
# rpm –ivh kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
# rpmbuild –bp kernel-2.6.spec –target=noarch
# cp –R ../BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9 /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-22.EL
# ln –s /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-22.EL /usr/src/linux
For CentOS, the kernel SRPM can be downloaded from a CentOS mirror, ie:
Current version:
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/version/os/SRPMS
Older versions:
http://vault.centos.org/version/os/SRPMS
For RHEL, the kernel SRPM can be downloaded via RedHat Network:
http://rhn.redhat.com
Management Software Installation Guide
Since the RAID management software is not included in any Linux distribution, the tools must be in-
stalled manually if the operating system has been reinstalled. Please note that installation of packages
via yum requires a functional Internet connection. To install the software:
Fedora Core 3 (32 and 64-bit)
• Log into the console, or open an xterm.
• If you are not already logged in as root, use the su command to become root.
