Module Naming Conventions
3w-sas.* refers to the specific kernel driver module you will copy in the
examples shown in steps 3 and 4. The name of the kernel driver module you
will copy (
3w-sas.*) varies, depending on the kernel; however you will
always copy it to a file named
3w-sas.ko for 2.6 kernels. Depending on the
supported release, not all modules may be required or available.
The available kernel driver module files are:
• For default kernels:
3w-sas.ko
• For SMP kernels: 3w-sas.smp
• For Bigmem kernels: 3w-sas.big
• For i586 kernels:
3w-sas.586
• For PAE kernels: 3w-sas.pae
• For Xen kernels:
3w-sas.xen
To install the 3ware driver and update the RAM disk
1 Log in as root and open a console window.
2 Mount the CD which contains the 3ware kernel driver module.
To mount the CD, type:
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt and press Enter.
3 Copy the kernel driver module:
For Redhat Linux Intel x86 and AMD, type:
cp /mnt/packages/drivers/linux/redhat/<version>/x86/
3w-sas.<ko or pae> /lib/modules/
<kernel string>/kernel/
drivers/scsi/3w-sas.ko
For Fedora Core on Intel x86 and AMD, type:
cp /mnt/packages/drivers/linux/fedora/<version>/x86/
3w-sas.<ko, 586, or pae> /lib/modules/
<kernel string>/
kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-sas.ko
If prompted to overwrite, type y.
For Redhat Linux on AMD Opteron and Intel EM64T, type:
cp /mnt/cdrom/packages/drivers/linux/redhat/<version>/
x86_64/3w-sas.ko /lib/modules/
<kernel string>/kernel/
drivers/scsi/3w-sas.ko
For Fedora Core on AMD Opteron and Intel EM64T, type:
cp /mnt/packages/drivers/linux/fedora/<version>/x86_64/
3w-sas.ko /lib/modules/
<kernel string>/kernel/drivers/
scsi/3w-sas.ko
If prompted to overwrite, type y.
