Integrated Striping Quick Start Guide
Enter "m" to build the MPTBASE and MPTSCSIH drivers as
a module or "y" to build the MPTBASE and MPTSCSIH driv-
ers into the kernel.
You can optionally include enhanced SCSI error reporting and IOCTL
4
driver support. To do so, select the feature and enter
driver as a module. You can only build these drivers as modules.
Save the kernel configuration changes.
5
Rebuild the kernel modules following the kernel build instructions for
6
your system.
If you did not build driver support into the kernel, you can skip this
7
step. If you built driver support into the kernel, you need to shut down
your system. To do so, type:
$ shutdown -r now

Loading the Drivers As Modules

If you built driver support as modules, you need to add the modules by
following these steps:
Load the Fusion-MPT base driver. To do so, type:
1
# insmod mptbase
Load the Fusion-MPT SCSI Channel host driver. To do so, type:
2
# insmod mptscsih
If you are using enhanced SCSI error reporting, load its driver. To do
3
so, type:
# insmod isense
If you are using IOCTL support, load its driver. To do so, type:
4
# insmod mptctl
The module detects and maps all target devices to Linux SCSI

devices,
