Installation on a New Development Platform
This section walks you through the installation of the software on a new development platform.
9.3.1
Installing the Acceleration Software
Power on the system and proceed with the instructions below.
Open a Terminal Window and switch to superuser.
# su
<enter root password>
In the
/QAT
directory, start the installation script.
# cd /QAT
# ./installer.sh
Select the Install Acceleration installation option. This installs the Acceleration software.
You will be prompted for a directory location to build the package and the Build Output
Directory. Use the default values provided by the installation script.
Note:
ICP_ROOT is automatically set by installer.sh and can vary during the installer run, depending
on which driver is being built, i.e., it is set to /QAT/ QAT1.x/ during the build of each QAT1.x driver.
Note:
Some older Linux* distributions may require the grub boot parameter intel_iommu=off. If a
failed to start device error is shown during the Acceleration installation, this parameter may be
required.
Note:
If Software Development was not selected during the OS install, you may see an error
message similar to the following during the acceleration install:
"make: *** /lib/modules/3.3.4-5.fc17.x86_64/build/: No such file or
directory. Stop."
Reinstall the OS and select the Software Development option as described in
or run the following commands:
# yum -y install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)
# yum -y install gcc
