ICP RAID Controller Installation in an Already
Configured FreeBSD System
In the event you are adding an ICP RAID controller to a pre-existing FreeBSD system,
ensure that the newly created host drives are detected after existing disks attached to the
operating system (most particularly, the disk containing the root file system). Due to the
device numbering in Unix-based kernels (in this case FreeBSD), failure to do so may
render the system unbootable. Possible solutions to this issue may include one of the
following procedures:
1. Ensure that the ICP RAID driver loads after the other SCSI drivers have loaded. This
can be accomplished by performing one of the following steps:
a. Compile the ICP RAID driver as a Kernel module and specify the load time in the /
boot/loader.rc configuration file
a. Manually load and unload the ICP RAID Kernel Module using utilities like "kldload"
and "kldunload" after the system has booted.
2. Modify system configuration files like /etc/fstab. To do so you will need to know
explicit device filenames associated with all the disks in the system.
The exact procedure used will depend on your particular system configuration. Please
refer to your FreeBSD documentation before changing any system configuration.
9.4.1
Installation Procedure
1. Install the driver package.
a. Copy file
iir-1.1.tgz
from the driver floppy, for example, (DOS-Format):
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
cp /mnt/iir-1.1.tgz /tmp/iir-1.1.tgz
umount /mnt
b. Install package using the command:
pkg_add /tmp/iir-1.1.tgz
2. Reboot. From now on the driver is loaded automatically as a module. The OS version
of ICPCON is also installed.
3. Run the ICPCON utility to configure your RAID devices (refer to
Chapter 10, “ICP
RAID Console,”
for more details).
4. Follow the vendor supplied documentation to partition, format and mount your RAID
host drives.
9.4.2
Un-installation Procedure
1. Unmount the host drive(s) using the following command:
