Installing a CIM SAS Storage Provider on Linux

The following procedure helps you install and uninstall the LSI CIM SAS Storage Provider on Linux.

*NOTE  Uninstall all the previous versions of LSISASProvider before you install this version. You can check all of the installed versions of LSISASProvider by running the rpm -qa | grep LsiSASProvider command.

*

To install a CIM SAS Storage Provider on a Linux system, install the SAS Provider using the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) by entering the following command:

rpm -ivh <LSI_MR_HHR - version - OS flavour>

For example, for RHEL 6.0 OS, the command would be rpm -ivh lsi_mr_hhr-00.30.0005-rhel6.x86_64.

The RPM installs all of the necessary files and the Managed Object Format (MOF), and it registers the libraries. The SAS Provider is now ready to use.

*NOTE  After you install LSI CIM SAS Provider, the MOF file LSI_SASRaid.mof is available under the /etc/lsi_cimprov/sas/pegasus/common directory.

*

To uninstall a CIM SAS Storage Provider on a Linux system, remove LSI CIM SAS Provider by entering the command:

rpm –ivh LsiSASProvider-<version>.<arch>.rpm

This removes all of the necessary files, uninstalls the MOF, and unregisters the libraries. The SAS Provider is no longer on the system.

*NOTE  Tog-pegasus binaries, such as cimmof, cimprovider, and wbemexec, must be in the PATH variable of /etc/profile, and hence, are defined in all environments of the system.
