Installing device drivers and Management Agents 20

Follow the standard procedure for installing Linux. As Linux is installed, it recognizes the controller

and automatically loads the correct driver.

In a system that already has Linux installed:

1. Power down the system.

2. Follow the standard controller installation procedure.

3. Power up the system. As Linux boots, it recognizes the controller.

4. Enter one of the following commands as appropriate to ensure that the driver is loaded correctly:

Red Hat: #mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -

Novell (SLES): #mkinitrd -k /boot/vmlinux -i/boot/initrd

5. For Novell, enter the following command to confirm that the driver is active:

#lsmod | grep cciss

If the driver is active, the system responds by displaying cciss.
