4 Installing Linux
This section discusses installation issues related to the Red Hat Linux operating systems. For a
successful installation, study the Linux system manuals thoroughly. The required Intel RAID
Controller SRCU31 installation disks can be created from the RAID Software Suite system
CD-ROM. See Chapter 2 for instructions to create these disks.
Before You Begin
Available Drivers and Tools on the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31
Software Suite CD-ROM
gdth.tgz Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 driver sources
storcon-2.02.gz StorCon for i386 systems, version 2.02
srcd-1.10-redhat.tgz Remote RAID Configuration Service with start/stop script for Red Hat
Linux, version 1.10
Assumptions About Path Names
Since the user may have received StorCon on the CD-ROM or as a download from the web, and
because Linux administrators may mount volumes with a variety of names, certain assumptions
were made in this document. These assumptions are listed in Table 12.
Table 12. Linux Path Names
Path Names Note
/mnt/cdrom If the Linux driver and StorCon is not being installed from the CD-ROM, the
/mnt/cdrom part of the path may be changed to the proper directory.
$ Assumes this is the current directory level.
/dev/hda Path entries such as the example on the right are assumptions and may be
changed to match what the administrator has selected for the particular system.
