IMPORTANT: HP IO Accelerator Management Tool 3.0 Installation

HP IO Accelerator Management Tool 3.0 is a free GUI solution for managing IO Accelerator devices. The tool is also available from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support). Uninstall any previous versions of HP IO Accelerator Management Tool before installing the latest version. To install and use HP IO Accelerator Management Tool, download and follow the installation and user guides located in the ioSphere download folder.

When all package installations are complete, go to "Loading the IO Accelerator driver (on page 18)."

Building the IO Accelerator driver from source

The IO Accelerator driver is distributed as a source package. If a binary version of the software is not available, you must build the IO Accelerator driver from source. Use the source package that is made for your distribution. Source packages from other distributions might not work.

1.Download current IO Accelerator source and support packages from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).

IMPORTANT: The exact source package to download depends on your operating system, but it is either an RPM package (for operating systems that use RPM packages) or a tar installation package (for all other operating systems).

2.Change directory to where you downloaded the source package.

3.To create a customized installation package, follow the instructions in "Building an RPM installation package (on page 14)".

Building an RPM installation package

1.Install the prerequisite files for your kernel version.

IMPORTANT: Some of the prerequisite packages might currently be in the default OS installation. If the system is not configured to get packages over the network, you might have to mount the install CD/DVD.

oOn RHEL 5/6, you need kernel-devel,kernel-headers,rpm-build, GCC4, and rsync: $ yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers rpm-build gcc rsync

CAUTION: The yum option might not install the correct (matching) kernel versions of kernel-develor kernel-headerspackages. The yum option will download the latest

version. Use the following command to force yum to download the exact versions: yum install kernel-headers-`uname-r`kernel-devel-`uname-r` gcc rsync rpm-build

If the exact versions are no longer available in the repository, you must manually download them from the Internet. For more information, contact HP Support (http://www.hp.com/support).

oOn SLES 10/11 you need kernel-syms, make, rpm-build, GCC4, and rsync: $ zypper install kernel-syms make rpm-build gcc rsync

2.Build an RPM installation package for the current kernel:

$ rpmbuild --rebuild iomemory-vsl-<VSL-version>.src.rpm
