Chapter 1 Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the drivers for the MegaRAID® SAS RAID controllers. It consists of the following sections:

• Section 1.1, “Driver Description”

• Section 1.2, “Driver Names”

Subsequent chapters in this manual provide detailed installation instructions for the operating systems. Use the latest updates provided by the operating system manufacturer and review the readme file that accompanies the driver for any updated information.

1.1 Driver Description

You can install the MegaRAID SAS controller in any IBM AT-compatible computer that has a PCI Express local bus. The RAID controller can run under various operating systems.

To use the controller with these operating systems, you must install software drivers. LSI operating systems:

• Microsoft

Windows Server 2003 (x86), Windows Server 2003 (x64), and Windows Vista

• Novell

• Red Hat

• SuSE SLES versions 9 and 10

• SCO™ OpenServer

and SCO UnixWare™

1.1.1 Driver Functions

MegaRAID provides drivers for the MegaRAID SAS RAID Storage Adapters, which bring 3.0 Gbit/s Serial Attached SCSI and 3.0 Gbit/s SATA II performance to host adapter, workstation, and server designs. The controllers support internal and external storage devices, which allows you to use a system that supports enterprise-class SAS and desktop-class SATA II drives.

The SAS controllers integrate eight high-performance SAS/SATA II PHYs and a PCI Express bus master DMA core. Each of the eight PHYs is capable of 3.0 Gbit/s SAS link rates, and 3.0 Gbit/s SATA II link rates.

The SAS RAID controllers support the SAS protocol as described in the Serial Attached SCSI Standard, version 1.1. The controllers also support the Serial ATA II (SATA II) protocol defined by the Serial ATA specification, version 1.0a. SATA II is an extension to SATA 1.0a.

The drivers do the following:

• Support the PCI Express protocol

• Support multiple RAID Storage Adapters (RSAs)

• Provide the ability to see newly configured logical drives in the

configuration software utility without rebooting the system

• Allow random deletion of logical drives created using the MegaRAID

Storage Manager (see the MegaRAID SAS Software User’s Guide for more information)

• Support use of the remaining array capacity by MegaRAID Storage

Manager

1.1.2 Driver Updates

Because LSI regularly updates device drivers, there might be a feature added to your driver that is not included in the most recent manual publication. If you have a question about a feature, consult the readme file that accompanies the driver, or contact your MegaRAID support representative. Be sure to use the latest Service Packs provided by the operating system manufacturer.

You can download the latest drivers and software on the LSI website at

http://lsi.com/cm/DownloadSearch.do. Under the Download tab, select

1-2 Overview

your product from the pull-down menu to display the latest drivers available for download.

1.2 Driver Names

Ta bl e 1 .1 lists the device driver files for MegaRAID controllers. The driver

files are available on the Universal Driver Suite CD that accompanied your MegaRAID controller. LSI updates the MegaRAID device drivers frequently. To ensure you have the current version of this driver, download the driver from the LSI web site: http://www.lsi.com. See the readme file that accompanies the driver for any updated information.

To make the driver diskette, extract the files from the Universal Driver Suite CD to a blank floppy diskette, or download the driver files from the LSI website and extract them to an empty floppy diskette. Label the diskette as the MegaRAID driver diskette for the given operating system.

2.1 Installing the Windows System Driver in a New Windows System

Perform the following steps to install the MegaRAID device driver in a new Windows operating system. The Windows operating system automatically adds the driver to the registry and copies the driver to the appropriate directory.

Step 1. Start the Windows installation by booting from the appropriate

Windows CD-ROM.

The system BIOS must support booting from a CD-ROM. BIOS settings might require changes to allow CD-ROM booting. See your system documentation.

Step 2. Press F6 when the following displays at the bottom of the

screen, unless you are installing Windows Vista:

"Press F6 if you need..."

Note

: For the system to recognize the new driver for Windows

2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, you must press F6. If you are installing Windows Vista, you do not need to press F6. For Windows Vista, after the first installation screen, an option displays to allow you to load the driver from either a floppy diskette or a USB key. Otherwise, it will load the default driver from the DVD.

Step 3. Select “S” to specify an additional device when the

screen displays:

"Setup could not determine the type of one or more mass storage devices..."

The system prompts for the manufacturer-supplied hardware support disk.

Note

: If the screen does not display this message after you press

F6, then the setup program did not recognize the F6 command. Reboot the system, and return to step 2.

Step 4. Insert the driver diskette containing the Windows device driver

and press ENTER.
