NOTES
CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE
There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette:
MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS:
1) Save the "aacraid-1.1.5.2432-1.rhel3.i686.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory.
Use WINZIP to extract "aacraid-1.1.5.2432-1.rhel3.i686.dd"
from this file into the same directory.
Please ensure that "aacraid-1.1.5.2432-1.rhel3.i686.dd" is a DOS 8.3 name.
2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 CD in the "dosutil" directory.
3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Driver Diskette".
Next, insert the diskette in the diskette drive. Then, use the following commands
(assuming your ProLiant Disk Image is at the location c: and your CD-ROM is drive d:)
C:\> d:\dosutils\rawrite
Enter disk image source file name: aacraid-1.1.5.2432-1.rhel3.i686.dd
Enter target diskette drive: a:
Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and press --ENTER-- : Enter
MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS:
1) Save the "aacraid-1.1.5.2432-1.rhel3.i686.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract
"aacraid-1.1.5.2432-1.rhel3.i686.dd" from this file into the same directory
2) To make a diskette under Linux (or any other Linux-like operating system), you must have permission to write
to the device representing a 3.5-inch diskette drive (known as /dev/fd0 under Linux)
3) First, label a blank, formatted diskette appropriately (ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette
into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command:
# dd if=aacraid-1.1.5.2432-1.rhel3.i686.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=aacraid-1.1.5.2432-1.rhel3.i686.dd) to an
output file (of=/dev/fd0) using the diskette size of 1440k (1.44MB). To make another diskette label that diskette,
and run "dd" again, specifying the correct input file.
