1 Overview

The purpose of this document is to provide clear instructions on how to install Linux

Ubuntu Server on the SSD7505 controller.

2 Installing Linux Ubuntu Server on SSD7505

controller

If you would like to install Linux Ubuntu Server onto drives attached to SSD7505

controller, please perform the following operations:

Step 1 Prepare Your Hardware for Installation

After you attach your NVMe SSD to SSD7505 controller, you can use SSD7505 EFI

Utility to configure your NVMe SSD as RAID arrays, or just use them as single disks.

Before installation, you must remove all the NVMe SSD, which are not physically

attached to SSD7505 controller, from your system.

Note

SSD7505 only support EFI boot. If you have other SCSI adapters installed, you must

make sure the SSD7505 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, and then from SSD7505 RAID. Refer to your

motherboard EFI manual to see how to set boot sequence.

If your EFI settings do not support such a boot sequence, you can first set it to boot from

EFI CDROM.After you finish installation, set SSD7505 RAID as the first boot device to

boot up the system.

1. Set UEFI setting with SuperMicro H12SSL -i motherboard as an example.

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

to "EFI".Suppose SSD7505 is connected to motherboard CPU1 Slot 2 PCI-E

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

b. Disable "Secure Boot", set "Attempt Secure Boot" to "Disabled".

2. 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 SSD7505

a. Unzip SSD7505 UEFI package to root dir(/) of a USB flash driver,and insert the

USB flash drive to the motherboard;

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

c. Command with “SSD7505.nsh”, flash UEFI rom to SSD7505 Controller and

reboot;

Step 4 Create Array

a. Attach four NVMe SSD to SSD7505 Controller ;

Note

Make sure your USB flash partition format is NTFS or FAT32.

b. Boot, in the presence of the motherboard Log screen, there will be NVMe SSD

information：

c. Enter the motherboard’s Boot List and select start from UEFI USB flash:

d. Command ”Arraycreate.efi” to enter the Utility:

e. Command “create RAID0 ”.

Create RAID0 array with all disks and with maximum capacity.

f. Command “exit”；

g. For more command usages, refer toAppendixA.

Step 5 Prepare the Driver Diskette

Extract HighPoint_NVMe_Ubuntu_20.04.4_x86_64_vx.x.x_xx_xx_xx.tar.gz to top(/)

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

Step 6 Install Linux Ubuntu Server

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

b. Booting from Installation DVD disc (EFI mode).

c. When the Installation screen appears, press ‘e’ to edit boot command line option.

On the edit command window, move the cursor to the end of line “linux

/casper/vmlinuz...quiet ”, and append "modprobe.blacklist=nvme" (double quotation

mark are not include).

Press CTRL-x or F10 to start the system.

d. When the installation started:

Press ALT-F2 to switch new console window and press ENTER to activate this console.

Ubuntu login: ubuntu

And the 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

# sh /tmp/hptdd/preinst.sh ← Load SSD7505 driver.

e. Press ALT-F1 to continue system installation.

f. When the installation prompts “Reboot now”.

Press ALT-F2 and execute following command to install driver to the installed Linux

Ubuntu Server on the array of SSD7505.

# sh /tmp/hptdd/postinst.sh ← Install SSD7505 driver.

g. Press ALT-F1 and press “Reboot Now” to finish the installation.

h. Open source driver needs to be installed after system installation.

Run the .bin file to install the driver package.

# ./hptnvme_g5_linux_src_vxx.x.x_xx_xx_xx.bin

i. Follow the prompts to complete the driver installation.

j. After the installation is complete, you can perform system update operations.

3 Monitoring the Driver

Once the driver is running, you can monitor it through the Linux proc file system support.

There is a special file under /proc/scsi/hptnvme /. Through this file you can view driver

status and send control commands to the driver.

Note

The file name is the SCSI host number allocated by OS. If you have no other SCSI cards

installed, it will be 0. In the following sections, we will use x to represent this number.

Using the following command to show driver status:

# cat /proc/scsi/hptnvme /x
