Support for the HP Insight Management Agent for the Core 8 port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) HBA on the rx2660, BL860c, and BL870c HP Integrity server is not included with the MPT Fusion driver that is shipped with the Red Hat and Novell Linux distributions. However, HP Insight Management Agent support is included with the MPT Fusion driver that is shipped with RHEL4.6 and RHEL4.7.

If you are running HP Insight Management Agents for these HBAs on one of the listed servers, you must update the driver using the following steps:

  2. Click on the appropriate product link for your server.

  3. Click the Download drivers and software link.

  4. Select a software/driver language from the list.

  5. Click on the appropriate Linux distribution link.

    All of the available driver and software updates are provided in a categorized listing for your selection.

  6. Click the Download button for the latest MPTLinux Driver Update for Integrity Servers driver to download the tar file.

  7. Install the driver on your system:

    # rpm -ivh <downloaded driver name>

  8. Reboot your system.

NOTE: To avoid any potential issues, review the known issue “Installing the MPT Fusion HBA Driver on RHEL 5U2 using a Xen Kernel Hangs the Server”.
