Completing the Adapter Installation
Procedure 31 Updating the Firmware
To update the firmware on the server, controller, or hard drives, use Smart Components. These
components are available on the Firmware Maintenance CD. A more recent version of a particular
server or controller component might be available on the support page of the HP website (http://
www.hp.com/support).
1. Find the most recent version of the component that you require. Components for controller
firmware updates are available in offline and online formats
2. Follow the instructions for installing the component on the server. These instructions are given
with the CD and are provided on the same web page as the component.
3. Follow the additional instructions that describe how to use the component to flash the ROM.
These instructions are provided with each component.
Installing device drivers and Management Agents
The drivers for the controller are bundled into the supported Red Hat and Novell Linux distributions.
In a system that does not yet have Linux installed:
1. Follow the standard controller installation procedure.
2. Reboot the server.
3. Follow the standard procedure for installing Linux. As Linux is installed, it recognizes the
controller and automatically loads the correct driver.
4.
In a system that already has Linux installed:
1. Power down the system.
2. Follow the standard controller installation procedure.
3. Power up the system. As Linux boots, it recognizes the controller.
4. Enter one of the following commands as appropriate to ensure that the driver is loaded
correctly:
Red Hat #mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-$(uname
-r).img $(uname -r)
Novell (SLES) #mkinitrd -k /boot/vmlinux -i/boot/initrd
5. For Novell, enter the following command to confirm that the driver is active:
#lsmod | grep cciss
If the driver is active, the system responds by displaying cciss.
Installing Management Agents
The most recent versions of the agents are available on the support page of the HP website (http://
www.hp.com/support/itaniumservers). For installation instructions, refer to the downloadable file
HP Insight Management Agents for Linux on Integrity Servers provided with the agents. If the new
agents do not function correctly, you might also need to update Systems Insight Manager. The
