Software Installation
Installing Remote Communication Support
1. Insert the DPT NetWare diskette in the server’s floppy disk drive.
2. Enter the following command at the prompt:
LOAD A:\DPTINST.NLM
3. You will be prompted to choose whether to load the remote
communication support immediately or delay loading until the
server is restarted.
If you choose to wait until the server restarts, you will not be able to
monitor the DPT subsystem from a remote client until the server is
shut down and restarted. Otherwise, the remote communication
support is loaded and available as soon as you exit the install program.
Red Hat Linux
To install a DPT controller under Red Hat Linux 5.2 or 6.x, you must have
the DPT Linux diskettes. The diskette images can be downloaded from the
DPT web site (www.dpt.com).
NOTE The DPT drivers are for Linux kernel versions 2.0.36 and 2.2.5
or higher. If your kernel has been updated by a patch, the
drivers might not function. In this case, contact DPT Technical
Support for assistance. Refer to the READ.ME file for the latest
information Linux support for DPT SmartRAID V controllers.
The REDHAT.TXT file is a HOWTO document that describes the
installation of a SmartRAID V controller in a system using Linux.
DPT controller and RAID management is available through the DPT
SMOR utility or Storage Manager for Linux. Storage Manager for Linux
requires Linux 6.x (kernel version 2.2.5 or higher). See Chapter 4, “Storage
Manager on ROM” or Chapter 6, “Storage Manager” for additional
information about using these programs.
