FreeBSD Driver Support
module should now automatically load each time the operating system starts up.
Note: When using FreeBSD 4.x, type in the following command to configure the
system:
# mknod /dev/hpt37x2 c 200 0
Then, check to make sure the node “/dev/hpt37x2
¡±
, is present in the /dev directory.
Step 4 Configure the System to Mount Volumes at Startup
Instruct the system to automatically mount the array by modifying the file /etc/fstab.
Example: Add the following line to instruct the system to mount /dev/da1s1e to
location /mnt/hpt after startup:
/dev/da1s1e /mnt/hpt ufs rw 0 0
3 - Updating the Driver
To update the driver with a newer revision, simply reinstall the driver following the
steps discussed in the previous section, “Install the driver on an existing system”.
4 Installing the RAID Management Software
The HighPoint RAID Management Software is used to configure and keep track of
your hard disks and RAID arrays attached to RR152x controller. Installation of the
management software is optional but recommended. To configure the HighPoint
RAID Management Software to work with RR152x driver, you should setup /etc/
hptcfg to be the driver name: # echo hpt37x2 > /etc/hptcfg Please refer to HighPoint
RAID Management Software documents for more information.
5 – Uninstalling the Driver
The driver can only be uninstalled when the system is not booting from devices
attached to the RocketRAID 152x controller. To uninstall, remove the line
rr152x_load=”YES” located in /boot/defaults/loader.conf, and then delete the driver
module /modules/rr152x.ko or /boot/kernel/rr152x.ko.
