2 Installing Linux RHEL on RR Series RAID

controller

If you would like to install Linux RHEL onto drives attached to RR Series RAID controller,

please perform the following operations:

Step 1 Prepare Your Hardware for Installation

After you attach your hard disks to RAID controller, you can use EFI Utility to configure

your hard disks as RAID arrays, or just use them as single disks.

Before installation, you must remove all the Hard disks, which are not physically attached

to RAID controller, from your system.

Note

RAID Controller support EFI boot. If you have other SCSI adapters installed, you must

make sure the RR Series controller EFI will be loaded firstly. If not, try to move it to

another PCI slot. Otherwise you may be unable to boot up your system.

Step 2 Check System EFI Settings

In your system EFI SETUP menu, change Boot Sequence in such a way that the system

will first boot from EFI CDROM or EFI a Bootable USB drive, after you finish

installation, set RR Series RAID as the first boot device to boot up the system. Refer to

your motherboard EFI manual to see how to set boot sequence.

1. Set UEFI setting with SuperMicro X11DPi-NT motherboard as an example.

a. "Advanced->PCIe/PCI/PnPConfiguration->CPUSlot PCI-E OPROM"

to "EFI". Suppose RAID Controller is connected to motherboard CPU1 Slot 2

PCI-E X16, then you should set "CPU1 Slot 2 PCI-E X16 OPROM" to "EFI";

3. Set UEFI setting with ASUS PRIME X299 -DELUXE motherboard as an example:

a. Set "Boot from Storage Devices" to "UEFI driver first";

b. And "Boot Device Control" to "UEFI Only" or "UEFI and Legacy OPROM";

c. Set "OS Type" to "Other OS".

Step 3 Flash UEFI Rom to RAID Controller

For Example RR3740C：

For other products, please refer to: Update BIOS_ UEFI ROM

Note

：

Make sure your USB flash partition format is FAT32.

a. Unzip RR3740C UEFI package to root dir(/) of a USB flash drive, and insert the

USB flash drive to the motherboard;

b. Booting from the UEFI USB flash and enter the UEFI environment;

c. Command with “rr3740.nsh”, flash UEFI rom to RR3740C Controller and reboot;

Step 4 CreateArray

a. Attach two hard disks to RR3740C Controller;

b. Boot, enter the motherboard’s Boot List and select start from UEFI USB flash:

c. Command “ArrayCreate.efi”to enter the Utility:

d. Command “create RAID0”.

Create RAID0 array with all disks and with maximum capacity.

e. Command “exit”；

f. For more command usages, refer to Appendix A.

RR3742/3720/710/720/2840/840 also supports the creation method of BIOS/UEFI HII.

Please refer to UM-Chapter 4

Step 5 Prepare the Driver Diskette

Extract RR37xx_8xx_28xx_RHELx.x _x86_64_vx.xx.xx_xx_xx_xx.tar.gz to top(/)

directory of an USB flash drive. It will look like:

Step 6 Install RHEL

For Example：RHEL9.1

a. Insert the USB flash drive to the target system.

b. Booting from Bootable USB drive (EFI mode).

c. When the following window appears during the installation process,

Press Ctrl+ALT+F2to switch to the shell on console and press Enter to activate this

console.

And then execute following commands to copy the driver contents:

# mkdir /hptdd ← Create mount point for USB flash drive

# mount /dev/sda1 /hptdd/ ← Mount the USB flash drive to /hptdd

#cp -a /hptdd/hptdd /tmp/ ← Copy driver installation file to system temporary

directory

# umount /dev/sda1 ← Unmount the USB flash drive

When the USB flash drive is unmounted, please unplug the USB flash drive from the

mainboard. And then execute following command to install driver to install the Linux
