64 MSA1000 Installation Guide
Installing the HBA Driver on your Linux Servers
Because this process involves updating your configuration for the MSA1000, HP
recommends performing this task during inactive periods.
After the HBA driver is installed, it will automatically load on each system boot
and will provide optimized support for Secure Path multi-path storage
configurations, as well as single-path storage configurations.
Two methods are available for loading the HBA driver, each of which is discussed
in the following paragraphs:
■ Using the provided RPM file (recommended)
■ Compiling a driver from source code
Using the Provided RPM File
1. Install the HBA(s) in the server, power on the server, and start up your Linux
operating system.
Note: If LUNs on the MSA1000 are already being presented to the server (when
performing a server upgrade or move), disconnect the MSA1000 from the SAN. If the
MSA1000 is unconfigured, the MSA1000 can be connected to the SAN.
2. From the console, log on as the root user.
3. Insert the MSA1000 Support Software CD in the CD-ROM drive of the
server.
4. From the console, mount the CD-ROM drive and navigate to the /LINUX
directory on the CD.
5. List the contents of the directory and identify the RPM file for your
distribution of Linux.
