Installing the Driver
Installing the Driver in a New Linux System
The drivers for the ASR-2010S and ASR-2015S are embedded in
version 7.3 of Red Hat. Installing the controller in a new Red Hat
Linux system doesn’t require any driver installation. This scenario
is for installing the controller into a new system, where the
operating system will be loaded to a RAID.
To install the Adaptec ZCR controller:
1 Install and configure your Adaptec ZCR controller and hard
drives according to the instructions in Chapter 2.
2 Start up the server. During startup, press Ctrl+A to start SMOR.
Use SMOR to create the RAID. For details, refer to Configuring
the Controller to Boot from Channel 1 on page 2-8 or in the
Software User’s Guide on the CD that came with the ASR-2010S
or ASR-2015S.
Note: Any partitions created on disks that are not part of an
array will be unavailable if you subsequently use the disk in a
RAID configuration. If your hard disk drives do not have
partition tables or do not contain a recognizable partition, you
will be prompted to initialize these disks. The operating
system can automatically remove the data or you can
manually partition the drives. For more information, refer to
the Red Hat documentation.
3 Insert the Red Hat CD Disk 1 in the CD-ROM drive.
4 Start up the system.
5 When the Red Hat welcome screen appears, type linux or
simply press Enter.
6 Follow the prompts to set up your preferred environment; for
example, your preferred language and keyboard type.
7 Continue with the Linux installation according to the Red Hat
documentation.
