RAID and Areca

Areca 1680 2010-01-10

4.3 Driver Installation for Linux

This chapter describes how to install the SAS RAID controller driver to Red Hat Linux, SuSE and other versions of Linux. Before installing the SAS RAID driver to the Linux, complete the following actions:

1. Install and configure the controller and hard disk drives according to the instructions in Chapter 2 Hardware Installation.
2. Start the system and then press Tab+F6 to enter the McBIOS RAID manager configuration utility. Using the McBIOS RAID manager to create the RAID set and volume set. For details, see Chapter 3, McBIOS RAID Manager.

If you are using a Linux distribution for which there is not a compiled driver available from Areca, you can copy the source from the SAS software CD or download the source from the Areca website and compile a new driver.

Compiled and tested drivers for Red Hat and SuSE Linux are included on the shipped CD. You can download updated versions of com- piled and tested drivers for RedHat or SuSE Linux from the Areca web site at http://www.areca.com.tw. Included in these downloads is the Linux driver source, which can be used to compile the updat- ed version driver for RedHat, SuSE and other versions of Linux. Please refer to the “readme.txt” file on the included Areca CD or website to make driver diskette and to install driver to the system.

Areca Scripts

This is a collection of the Areca Scripts I have attempted to build.

c = conn.cursor()
# Insert a row of data
c.execute("INSERT INTO stocks VALUES ('2006-01-05','BUY','RHAT',100,35.14)")
# Save (commit) the changes
conn.commit()
# We can also close the cursor if we are done with it
c.close()
# Create table

Hosts

These are hosts that I have worked on. The services I have worked on may not carry the same services, but this is a log not a reflection of what is.
