Driver Installation Under
Linux
Note: Before installing the 3ware driver, you must have
already installed your 3ware RAID controller in the
system.
A drive or unit managed by the 3ware RAID controller may be
configured to be your system’s boot device. Or, you can use another
device as your boot device, such as a disk attached to the
motherboard.
The steps you follow to install the driver and make your RAID unit
available depend on which version of Linux you are using, and
whether it will be your boot device. This chapter provides step-by-
step instructions for the following situations:
