Installing Linux Drivers

Before installing the Linux driver, ensure that the host computer has the kernel-

devel RPM installed and GCC installed for the running kernel, which will allow the

driver source to compile. These packages may not be installed by default on the

Linux host.

The information shown in the following examples may vary from your installation

depending on the host computer kernel and distribution.

The Linux driver may be installed on either a Linux kernel that is running or not

running. Both procedures are documented in this section.

Installing Linux Drivers on Running Linux

Kernels

To load the Linux driver onto the host computer:

1. Power up the Memory Array and verify the PCIe connectivity between the

Memory Arrayand the host computer before you install and load the Linux

driver onto the host.

Because the PCIe Hot Plug is not supported by most current BIOS versions,

you must power up the Memory Array before powering up the host

computer.

2. Log into the host computer as root.

3. Download the Linux driver install file (vtms-linux-

driver<release>.run

) from the HP Support page.

Where

<release> indicates the release number; for example, D4.5.4.1.

4. Save the Linux driver install file to a suitable location on the host.

5. Open a terminal shell window and navigate to the location of the Linux driver

install script.

6. To run the Linux driver install script, type:

./vtms-linux-driver-<release>.run
