Rocketraid 2314 Drivers For Mac
RocketRAID 2314. PCI-e x4 (x8 and x16) slot compatible. Drivers are available for all major operating systems, including Windows, Linux and FreeBSD. Mac OS X RocketRAID 2314 Specification PHY SICAL E F T ON Size: 3.99'L x 4.16'W (101.4mm x 105.9mm) EMI: FCC Part 15 Class B and CE. HighPoint Technologies has released a Mac OS X driver for its RocketRAID 1820A PCI card, which offers an eight-channel PCI-X to Serial ATA RAID 5 host solution. The card features tagged command. Free drivers for HighPoint RocketRAID 2314. Found 9 files for Windows Vista, Windows Vista 64-bit, Windows XP, Windows XP 64-bit, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 64-bit, Windows Server 2008 x86 / 64, Fedora Core 1-8, Red Hat Enterprise/CentOS Linux, SuSE Linux 9.0-10.3, SLES Linux, FreeBSD 4.3 - 7.0, Linux Kernel v2.4.x / v2.6.x. Keep in mind that disabling INT13 will remove your ability to boot to any array off this card. I plan on playing around with what is actually needed to correct this problem but I got this solution from a tech at G-Technology who uses the 2314 RocketRAID with their G-SpeedeS line. Hope this helps.even though your post is a couple months old.
This guide assists with the installation of a RocketRAID card on Gentoo Linux.
Installation
Enabling the HPT-RR overlay
Highpoint Rocketraid 2300 Driver
The HPT-RR overlay contains the necessary packages to easily install and configure a RocketRAID card.
Using eselect repository
Ensure that app-eselect/eselect-repository and dev-vcs/git are installed: Android 8.0 zip.
root #
emerge --ask --noreplace app-eselect/eselect-repository dev-vcs/git
Then configure and sync the overlay:
root #
eselect repository add RocketRAID git https://github.com/dsiggi/RocketRAID.git
Using layman
The second method to enable the overlay is through layman. Edit /etc/layman/layman.cfg and add the overlay definition:
/etc/layman/layman.cfg
At the overlay to the configNext, synchronize the overlays and add the RocketRAID one (which is named RocketRAID):
root #
layman -a RocketRAID
It is of course also possible to clone the repository for a local overlay:
root #
git clone https://github.com/dsiggi/RocketRAID.git
Building and installing the Linux kernel module
Depending on the hardware card, enable the right USE flag.
Then, install the sys-block/rocketraid package in order to automatically build and install the right kernel module:
Loading the kernel module
Highpoint Rocketraid 2310 Driver
Load the newly built kernel module (example for the rr232x module):
Validate that the hardware has been properly detected by reading through the dmesg output close after loading the module:
If the module correctly found the hardware, then make sure that this module is automatically loaded at boot. This can be accomplished by adding it to the /etc/modules-load.d/raid.conf file.
Installing supporting software
There are a couple of software packages that provide additional support for the RocketRAID cards.
The sys-block/hptraidconf package provides configuration and monitoring support for the RocketRAID card. It requires a daemon running on the system, provided through the sys-block/hptsvr package. The client itself does not need to be installed on the system that has the RAID card in it.
Deploy the two packages:
Configuration
To run the server, add the right hardware module to /etc/hptcfg:
Now start the server:
To start the server on every system boot, type in:
Administration
To administer the RAID card settings, connect to the server using the hptraidconf command.
The default username is RAID and the default password is hpt. Void bastards walkthrough.
After a successful login, a prompt will appear through which the administrative tasks can be executed.
All supported commands are documented in the official documentation (.tgz).
