DESCRIPTION:

This RPM is used to provide binary driver modules that have been pre-built for United Linux 1.0
to enable ProLiant Smart Array 640x, 64x, 5i, 5300 Series controllers.
This RPM provides a customer friendly approach to install a pre-built binary driver.

FIXES
~~~~~
1. Support for the devfs file system.
2. Support for detecting controller failure. (see notes in detect death patch)
3. Support for greater than 8 controllers in the system. General code cleanup for kernel.org submission. Enhancements to the shell scripts.
4. Ensures that if no pci devices are found, we unregister the driver.
Otherwise, the next driver to call pci_register_driver() will oops.
5. Use pci_module_init() wrapper instead of pci_register_driver() for
the above fix, and to ensure the correct return code for CONFIG_HOTPLUG
and MODULE.
6. Use __devinit instead of __init.
7. Changes the author and version numbers to Hewlett-Packard and 2.4.48.
8. Fixes issue with sharing an irq with another controller.
9. Adopted naming convention outlined in the ISSG Versioning and Naming Standards v. 1.0

ENHANCEMENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~

IMPORTANT: Additional instructions may be viewed:

rpm -q -i -p cpq_cciss-2.4.48-6.ul10.i586.rpm | more

Please read this section before proceeding.

This RPM will install binary drivers that will only work with the default
United Linux 1.0 kernel, and configuration that it has been built for. Earlier
or later versions of United Linux 1.0 are not supported. Special actions are required
if you have modified the default kernel configuration that SuSE ships
for their United Linux 1.0 product. If you have modified the default kernel
configuration you will need to rebuild the kernel to use the updated drivers
after installing the RPM with the --noscripts option. For directions to
patch the existing driver and rebuild your kernel please refer to the
United Linux 1.0 documentation. The driver patches will be available in a gzipped
tar file in the /opt/compaq/storage_drivers directory after installing
the RPM with the --noscripts option.

The cciss driver RPM will not install if it detects that your
configuration is different from the United Linux 1.0 default
Server configuration.

This driver RPM will not install if the loopback device is not configured
but the initrd image is requested since the loopback device is required
to create the initrd image.

INSTALLATION

Login as the system administrator (root), download the RPM to a directory on
your hard drive and change to that directory.

To install the driver type:

# rpm -ivh cpq_cciss-2.4.48-6.ul10.i586.rpm

Setup is now complete. Please REBOOT your computer NOW!!

To upgrade the driver type:

# rpm -Uvh cpq_cciss-2.4.48-6.ul10.i586.rpm

Upgrade is Now Complete. Please REBOOT your computer NOW!!

NOTE: If the installation fails or if you see any warning or error messages,
STOP, do NOT reboot the computer. The driver will not be operational and you
must uninstall the driver by typing the following command:

# rpm -e cpq_cciss-2.4.48-6

The removal of the RPM restores the original cciss.o module,
and builds a new initrd image with the previous driver object module (if any)
and adds yet another grub or lilo entry. You can then boot using this newest
lilo or grub entry, (provided the building of the new initrd image goes well),
or your original lilo or grub entry.

The successful installation will replace the driver that shipped with United Linux 1.0 with
the version of the driver, create a new Initial
RAM Disk Image (initrd) that contains the cpq_cciss-2.4.48-6 version of the driver
and modify /etc/lilo.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst) to allow the Linux Loader,
lilo (or grub) to boot using the new ramdisk image.

Backups of your previous files will be kept in the /usr/src/COMPAQ/driver_backup directory.

The driver version can be verified by typing:

# strings /lib/modules/""/kernel/drivers/block/cciss.o | grep HP

Expect output similar to:

HP CCISS Driver (2.4.48)

The driver will be inserted in the Initial RAM Disk Image (initrd) and is automatically
loaded every time the server boots, provided it is listed in /etc/modules.conf, which,
normally, it is.

To load the module use the insmod command, type:

# insmod cciss

Expect the following output if you have Symmetric Multi-Processing support enabled:
Using /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/block/cciss.o

Expect the following output if you have a single processor server:
Using /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/block/cciss.o

Expect the following output if your server is using the United Linux 1.0 Enterprise kernel:
Using /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/block/cciss.o

NOTE: You will experience error messages if the Smart Array controller is not installed.
Please ensure that the hardware is installed properly.

NOTE: If the hardware is properly installed and you experience error messages loading the
modules, remove the entire RPM by typing:

# rpm -e cpq_cciss-2.4.48-6

The removal of the RPM will restore the driver modules, and rebuild and initrd image
for the running kernel and create appropriate entries in
/etc/lilo.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst). Additionally you should still be able to
boot using the previous entries still in /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst,
provided the driver modules are restored, or were (and thus still are) in the
initrd image.

To check whether the driver is loaded properly, type:

# lsmod

Expect to see the module name cciss displayed.

If you attempt to install the RPM on an unsupported system, you will get an error message.
The driver will not be operational and must be uninstalled by typing the following command:

# rpm -e cpq_cciss-2.4.48-6
