Trouble installing Raid controller drivers on linux on a G6
error: %pre(cpq_cciss-2.6.20-23.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping cpq_cciss-2.6.20-23
It lists these as the supported kernels:
SUPPORTED KERNELS:
The kernels of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86) supported by this binary rpm are:
2.6.9-5.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86)
2.6.9-5.0.3.EL
2.6.9-11.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 1 (x86)
2.6.9-22.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2 (x86)
2.6.9-34.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 3 (x86)
2.6.9-42.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4 (x86)
2.6.9-42.0.3.EL
2.6.9-55.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 5 (x86)
2.6.9-55.0.9.EL
2.6.9-55.0.14.EL
2.6.9-67.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 6 (x86)
2.6.9-67.0.1.EL
2.6.9-67.0.4.EL
2.6.9-67.0.7.EL
2.6.9-67.0.15.EL
2.6.9-78.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 7 (x86)
2.6.9-89.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 8 (x86)
We're running 2.6.9-89.03
I find it hard to believe you have to run the exact version in the list, we're getting those FIFO FULL errors that this article talks about:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01688233тМй=en&cc=si&taskId=101&prodSeriesId=3821728&prodTypeId=15351
I would hope that if 2.6.9.89 was supported than 2.6.9.89.03 would be too but I suppose not. I guess we'll have to specifically go download 2.6.9.89-EL from RedHat and install that to get this driver loaded unless someone else has a newer CCISS driver than 2.6.20-23 that works with more versions of Linux. We're using RedHat AS 4u8.
Thanks,
Jason

Re: Trouble installing Raid controller drivers on linux on a G6
I am a little confused.
G6 systems have a hardware raid systems on their built in raid cards. Just like G5, the raid is configured outside the OS and the configuration is presented to the system.
If I take two disks and configure them as raid 1, the OS sees one disk.
That scenario has proved adequate to install the OS and run the systems. The inconvenient part about it is that you can't change the configuration without booting the systems and taking down the OS.
So you are looking for OS control of this functionality?

What G6 system and what RAID controller are you working with?

Re: Trouble installing Raid controller drivers on linux on a G6
However, that configuration on the G6 ends up giving us a bunch of "FIFO FULL" errors over and over, as described in the below link:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01688233тМй=en&cc=si&taskId=101&prodSeriesId=3821728&prodTypeId=15351
The supposed fix is to install the latest CCISS driver from HP (We've tried the PSP 8.25, 8.26, and downloading the CCISS driver manually, but when we try and do any of that it then complains about our kernel version when the CCISS RPM is getting installed, and it seems that we need to have the EXACT kernel listed all the way down to every .release on the support matrix. I was just curious if anyone knew of a way to get around it, or see what other solutions anyone may have had. I think we're going to just have to go download a kernel that matches on the list, because the latest one on the redhat network is a .03 release and isn't on the list.
I was just trying to see if anyone had any better ideas.
Thanks,
Jason

Re: Trouble installing Raid controller drivers on linux on a G6
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
This is targeted to be resolved in an errata kernel for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Until the errata kernel is available, use the HP ProLiant Smart Array Controller Driver for Linux (cciss) Version 2.6.20-16 (or later).
What version of the cciss driver is in kernel 2.6.9-89.03?
If it's not 2.6.20-16 or later your only choice right now is to download the latest cciss driver which is 2.6.20-23 (16 Jun 2009) and use the source code contained within the file to compile cciss against your running kernel.
if it is cciss 2.6.20-16 or later you need to open a support call with HP so they can track the issue and resolve.
