Please ensure that this utility has been tested with the RAID card you have chosen to use by checking the drivers web page for your controller at http://support.intel.com. *These older controllers should work but have not been tested. =================== Package Information =================== Driver Version = 6.704.150.00-2 ========= Attention ========= This driver is intended for quality test only for HA-DAS 2.0 (Syncro 2.0) product line. Though it is quality tested only for HA-DAS 2.0, other product lines of LSI @MegaRaid can be detected and work very well with this drivers. Existing Driver without HA-DAS 2.0 support can detect HA-DAS 2.0 Firmware, but it will not provide the desired output. It is highly recommended to use CS2.0 based Driver for HA-DAS 2.0 FW for end to end solution. Driver upgrade/downgrade is limited to only binaries provided for HA-DAS 2.0. ----------------------------- Special Notes for This Build: ----------------------------- 1) This is a follow up release with fixes and enhancements for Syncro CS2.0(Shared Storage HA). 2) This release supports SLES10, SLES11,RHEL6 and RHEL7.

This updated driver can be applied using the normal OS installation options. Extract package contents to a user specified location such as = a:\ 1. Extract the .img file to create a "DUD" on a floppy diskette. NOTE: The driver is provided as driver update disk (DUD) image (file extension is .img). To prepare the installation driver diskette, if user has a system with Microsoft Windows* operating system installed, a third party utility must be used to extract the DUD image to a floppy disk, for example, using rawrite utility; or users can use "dd" command under Linux or Sun Solaris* operating system to extract the DUD image to a floppy diskette. Below is the command format. dd if= of= path-to-media On most systems, path-to-media is /dev/fd0, which is the floppy drive special file. User must identify the path-to-media if using USB floppy drive. 2. Boot to CD-ROM or DVD-ROM with OS Disk 1. 3. At the Linux installation prompt type: linux dd 4. Press at the boot prompt on the Welcome screen. 5. Copy the Linux driver image from the Universal Driver Suite CD to diskette. Insert the diskette with driver image. 5. Select Yes. 6. Scroll down to select the Intel RAID adapter driver. 7. The utility locates and loads the driver for your device. 8. Follow the Red Hat Linux installation procedure to complete the installation. 9. Reboot the system. ================================ How to compile the driver source ================================ Driver source code is placed inside released package, driver source tarball- megaraid_sas--src.tar.gz to compile the driver for distro, first apply the patch for that distro(distro patches are placed inside patches directory). Type command- patch -p1 patches/.patch, and then to compile the code, type command- ./compile.sh. Note: For RHEL6 and it's clones(OEL6 and CentOS6), no patches are required to be applied. ================== Component Features ================== N/A ============ Known Issues ============ N/A ============= Fixes/Updates ============= 6.704.150.00-2 (Initial release for CS2.0) *Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
