Linux
Newer PCs may ship with UEFI firmware with Secure Boot
enabled. With Secure Boot the operating system boot loaders, Linux
kernel, and all kernel modules must be signed with a private key and
authenticated with a corresponding public key. When trying to load an
unsigned ATTO driver on a secure boot system, you will see the
following error: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '<driver-name>':
Required key not available. Refer to the Linux driver read me file
(readme.html) contained in the driver bundle for instructions on
signing and authenticating your ATTO Linux drivers.
ExpressSAS adapters are not supported under Linux
kernel 2.4.
1.
Power on your system.
2.
Log in as root.
3.
Verify that the kernel header files, usually included with
the Linux kernel development package, are installed.
4.
Locate the downloaded driver and copy the driver file to
a directory such as /usr/src
5.
Open a Terminal session and change to the directory
where you stored the driver.
6.
Open your File Browser and browse to
/mnt/cdrom/Linux/Drivers.
7.
Click on the driver:
For the ExpressSAS HBA, the driver filename appears
as lnx_drv_esashba#_XXX.tgz where # is the product
family and XXX is the driver’s
current version number.
8.
Copy the driver file to a directory such as
/usr/src
.
9.
Open a Terminal session.
10.
Change to the directory where you stored the driver.
11.
Extract the driver source:
For the ExpressSAS HBA: tar xfz
lnx_drv_esashba#_XXX.tgz.
12.
The driver files are extracted to a directory called
lnx_drv_esashba_XXX
.
13.
Navigate to that directory.
14.
Compile and install the driver using ./install.sh. The driver
is now installed and ready to use.
15.
Add the following line to
/etc/modprobe.conf
after
installing the driver:
For ExpressSAS HBA: alias scsihostHBAX esashba where
X is the next available HBA number.
16.
Continue on to
VMware ESXi 7.0 and earlier
You can add an ATTO adapter and install the driver after
installing VMware ESXi.
Refer to
Driver Configuration
for additional
information on configuring and managing ExpressSAS adapters in
VMware
1.
Download the Driver Bundle from the VMware or ATTO
website for your ATTO adapter. Unzip the contents of the
bundle on your local workstation. Within the bundle you
will find the Driver VIB file (.vib) for your ATTO adapter.
2.
Use the Datastore Browser in the vSphere Client to
upload the VIB file to your ESXi host. Alternatively, you
can use a program like winscp on Windows or scp on
Linux to upload the file directly to your ESXi host.
3.
Log in to the ESXi host on the Local Tech Support Console
(ESXi), or through an SSH client.
4.
Install the VIB using the following command on the ESXi
host:
# esxcli software vib install -v <full path to VIB file>
Including Driver in boot image
VMware vSphere 5 includes the ability to dynamically
construct boot images for your ESXi servers. This allows you
to include ATTO drivers as part of a boot image and install or
boot ESXi with that image. The end result is that your
server(s) will boot and have ATTO drivers included without
any additional steps. Consult the VMware vSphere
documentation for more information on using vSphere Image
Builder.
