rpm drive package
1.Log in to the server system using an account with administrator privileges. Upload the driver file to the system (using the /root path as an example);
2.If installing the driver, execute rpm -ivh /root/<name>.rpm (Here <name> is rpm installation package file name).
If updating the driver, execute rpm -Uvh /root/<name>.rpm (Here <name> is rpm installation package file name).
3.After successful installation, restart the machine for the changes to take effect.
4.Restart the OS and open the terminal to execute the cat /sys/module/mpt3sas/version command. If the driver version on the storage card is already the target version, the new driver is successfully installed.
(Note: Before installing the driver in Suse OS, check whether the third-party module support option is enabled: check the /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported-modules configuration file to ensure that allow_ unsupported_ modules option is set to 1.)
deb drive package
1.Log in to the server system using an account with administrator privileges. Upload the driver file to the system (using the /root path as an example).
2.Make sure the build-essential and dkms packages are installed on the target server OS. You can query the packages installed on the current OS by executing the dpkg -l command. If the installation is not complete, execute the apt-get command for installation as shown below (3).
3.(Take Ubuntu as an example) configure the apt source (local or network) and enter the following commands:
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install build-essential
# sudo apt-get install dkms
4.Execute the driver package installation command: # sudo dpkg -i /root/<name>.deb (Here <name> is deb installation package file name).
5.After successful installation, restart the machine for the changes to take effect.
6.Restart the OS and open the terminal to execute the cat /sys/module/mpt3sas/version command. If the driver version on the storage card is already the target version, the new driver is successfully installed.
src.rpm driver source code package
1.Log in to the server system with an account that has administrator privileges and upload the driver source code package "src.zip" to the system.
2.Before performing the compilation, please ensure that the following packages are installed in the current environment. If any dependencies are missing, please install them yourself：
RHEL/CentOS systems: gcc, rpm-build, make, kernel-devel, linux-headers
SLES systems: gcc, rpm-build, make, kernel-devel, kernel-source, kernel-syms
3.Open the terminal and and use the command to unzip src.zip: unzip src.zip.
(Note: The common commands for decompressing a compressed package are as follows:
tar -xvf file.tar
tar -zxvf file.tgz
tar -jxvf file.bz2
unrar e file.rar
unzip file.zip)
4.After extraction, enter the directory. Three types of src.rpm are provided. Choose the appropriate type of src.rpm depending on the actual situation;
kmod_srpm (RHEL based)
kmp_srpm (SLES based)
generic_srpm (The generic src.pm for RHEL/CentOS/SLES systems, it is recommended to prioritize using kmod and kmp.)
5.Execute the command to install the source RPM: rpm -ivvh xxx.src.rpm
6.Enter the directory that contains the driver SPEC file:
RHEL/CentOS systems: /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/
SLES systems: /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/
7.Execute the following command to compile and generate the driver rpm package:
rpmbuild -ba <name> (Here <name> is SPEC file name)
8.After successful compilation, the rpm driver package will be generated in the following directory:
RHEL/CentOS systems: /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/
SLES systems: /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/
(Note: Please save and archive the compiled driver package for future use.)
9.If installing the driver, execute rpm -ivh xxx.x86_64.rpm
If updating the driver, execute rpm -Uvh xxx.x86_64.rpm
10.After successful installation, restart the machine for the changes to take effect;
11.Restart and enter the system, open the terminal and execute the cat /sys/module/mpt3sas /version command to check and confirm that the driver version of the storage card is the target driver version, which means that the new driver is installed successfully.
dd drive package
1.If the disk cannot be recognized during the operating system installation process, you need to install the storage card driver first. Please follow the instructions below.
2.Mount the dd.iso driver file corresponding to the operating system in KVM.
3.When starting OS boot and entering the selection menu, press "e" to enter grub.
4.RHEL/CentOS/ORCL Linux systems: Add "inst.dd" at the end of the linuxefi... line and press Ctrl+x to start booting.
SLES systems: Add "dud=1" at the end of the linuxefi... line, and press Ctrl+x to start booting.
5.Based on the prompt information, select the driver files to load as needed and continue the operation.
6.The driver has been loaded successfully. You can now proceed with the normal operating system installation process on the target disk.
