a.As a root user, run rpm -Uvh <rpm-name> where <rpm-name> is mtip32xx-kmp-default-<version>.<kernel_version>.x86_64.rpm.

b.As a root user, run depmod.

c.Reboot the system.

NOTE: In both steps, <rpm-name> is replaced by the Linux driver located in the /Linux Driver folder of the support pack.

Installing the HPWAM Software on a Linux System

Once you have installed the Linux driver, install HPWAM using the following instructions. HPWAM will be installed under /opt/HP/WkldAccelManager.

NOTE: Note: HPWAM versions 1.58.00.00 and earlier must first be uninstalled before installing HPWAM versions 1.59.00.00 and later.

1.If HPWAM was previously installed (you are upgrading software): As a root user, run rpm -Uvh <rpm-file>.

2.For a new installation, run rpm -ivh <rpm-file> as a root user.

NOTE: In both steps, <rpm-file> is replaced by the HPWAM located in the /Workload Accelerator Manager/Linux folder of the support pack.

Updating the HP PCIe Workload Accelerator Firmware Unified Binary Image (UBI)

1.Run HPWAM, select the P320h drive, and click the Attach Device button (if device is not already attached).

2.Click the Update button and select the Unified Image menu option.

3.Browse to the \Unified Image folder in the support pack and select the UBI file.

4.Click the Update button.

5.HPWAM displays the Unified image update completed successfully for Drive message.

6.Close HPWAM and restart your system. A full system shutdown is not required.

7.After the system starts up, launch HPWAM again.

8.Check HPWAM to ensure that the firmware version displayed in the SSD Info window is accurate (see the HPWAM user guide for additional information on using the HPWAM software).
