Install HighPoint RocketRAID 2640x4 card driver on CentOS6 (64-bit)

CentOS6 (64-bit) install HighPoint RocketRAID 2640x4 card driver 1. download the driver from the server BIOS to view the RAID model, to the official website www.highpoint-tech.com download CentOS6.2 corresponding driver RHEL_CentOS 6u2 x86_64 www.2cto.com 2. run the tar command to decompress the driver to the centos6264 directory where centos6.2 (64bit) has been installed on the USB flash drive. The steps are as follows: insert a USB flash drive (with drivers) use fdisk-l to check whether the usb flash disk is located at/dev/sdb1 # mkdir-p/mnt/usb # mount/dev/sdb1/mnt/usb # cd/mnt/usb # mkdir centos6264 # tar xzvf rr26xx-rhel-centos-6u2.tar.gz-C/mnt/usb/c Entos6264 # umount/dev/sdb1 Note: This centos6.2 (64bit) system is a virtual machine system and does not recognize a floppy disk. Therefore, we will create another floppy disk driver during the installation process, but before the system is installed, there is no tar command, so We decompress it on another machine. 3. Create a floppy drive disk and install CentOS6.2 from the optical drive. Press ctrl + alt + f2 before next to enter shell mode. The specific steps are as follows: # mkdosfs/dev/fd0 # mkdir-p/mnt/floppy # mount/dev/fd0/mnt/floppy use fdisk-l to view the position of the USB flash disk as/dev/sda1 # mkdir -p/mnt/usb # mount/dev/sda1/mnt/usb: copy the usb flash drive to the floppy disk # cp-r/mnt/usb/centos6264/*/mnt/floppy # umount/dev/fd0 # umount/dev/sda1 4. install CentOS6.2 and load the driver from the optical drive to start CentOS6.2. before next, press ctrl + alt + f2 to enter the method of loading from the floppy disk in shell mode: # mkdir/dd # mount/dev/fd0/dd # cp-r/dd/tmp/hptdd # how to load umount/dd from a USB flash disk: # mkdir/dd # mount/dev/sda1/dd # cp-r/dd/tmp/hptdd # umount/dd # sh/tmp/hptdd/rhel-install-step1.shDriver InstallationDriver Installation step 1 completed. the driver is loaded successfully. alt + f6 is returned to the graphic interface.
