1 Overview

The purpose of this document is to provide clear instructions on how to install Linux

Rocky Linux on the RR2720A RAID controller.

Supported system: Rocky Linux8.6/8.7/9.0/9.1

Supported controller: RR2720A

2 Installing Linux Rocky Linux on RR2720A RAID

controller

If you would like to install Linux Rocky Linux onto drives attached to RR2720A RAID

controller, please perform the following operations:

Step 1 Prepare Your Hardware for Installation

After you attach your hard disks to RAID controller, you can use EFI Utility to configure

your hard disks as RAID arrays, or just use them as single disks.

Before installation, you must remove all the Hard disks, which are not physically attached

to RAID controller, from your system.

Note

RAID Controller support EFI boot. If you have other SCSI adapters installed, you must

make sure the RR2720A controller EFI will be loaded firstly. If not, try to move it to

another PCI slot. Otherwise you may be unable to boot up your system.

Step 2 Check System EFI Settings

In your system EFI SETUP menu, change Boot Sequence in such a way that the system

will first boot from EFI CDROM or EFI a Bootable USB drive, after you finish

installation, set RR2720A as the first boot device to boot up the system. Refer to your

motherboard EFI manual to see how to set boot sequence.

1. Set UEFI setting with SuperMicro X11DPi-NT motherboard as an example.

a. "Advanced->PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration->CPUSlot PCI-E OPROM"

to "EFI". Suppose RAID Controller is connected to motherboard CPU1 Slot 2

PCI-E X16, then you should set "CPU1 Slot 2 PCI-E X16 OPROM" to "EFI";

3. Set UEFI setting with ASUS PRIME X299 -DELUXE motherboard as an example:

a. Set "Boot from Storage Devices" to "UEFI driver first";

b. And "Boot Device Control" to "UEFI Only" or "UEFI and Legacy OPROM";

c. Set "OS Type" to "Other OS".

Step 3 Flash UEFI Rom to RAID Controller

For Example RR2720A：

Note

：

Make sure your USB flash partition format is FAT32.

a. Unzip RR2720A UEFI package to root dir(/) of a USB flash drive, and insert the

USB flash drive to the motherboard;

b. Booting from the UEFI USB flash and enter the UEFI environment;

c. Command with “rr2720.nsh”, flash UEFI rom to RR2720A Controller and reboot;

Step 4 Create Array

a. Attach two hard disks to RR2720A Controller;

b. Boot, enter the motherboard’s Boot List and select start from UEFI USB flash:

c. Command “ArrayCreate.efi” to enter the Utility:

d. Command “create RAID0”.

Create RAID0 array with all disks and with maximum capacity.

e. Command “exit”；

f. For more command usages, refer to Appendix A.

Step 5 Prepare the Driver Diskette

The directory named hptdd can be created in the USB flash drive and the driver RR272x _

1x_Rocky_Linux9.1 _x86_64 _ vx.x.x_xx_xx_xx.tgz can be extracted in the hptdd

directory. It will look like:

Step 6 Install Linux Rocky

For Example：Rocky Linux9.1

a. Before you do the following, verify the status of your network environment. To

ensure a proper installation, it is recommended to disconnect the network and install

the system in a network less environment.

b. Insert the USB flash drive to the target system.

c. Booting from Bootable USB drive (EFI mode).

d. When the Installation screen appears, press ‘e’ to edit boot command line option.

On the edit command window, move the cursor to the end of line "linuxefi /images /

pxeboot... ", and append "mvsas.noprobe=1 " (double quotation mark are not include).

Press Ctrl+ALT+F2to switch to the shell on console and press Enter to activate this

console.

And then execute following commands to copy the driver contents:

# mkdir /hptdd ← Create mount point for USB flash drive

# mount /dev/sdb1 /hptdd/ ← Mount the USB flash drive to /hptdd

#cp -a /hptdd/hptdd /tmp/ ← Copy driver installation file to system temporary

directory

# umount /dev/sdb1 ← Unmount the USB flash drive

When the USB flash drive is unmounted, please unplug the USB flash drive from the

mainboard. And then execute following command to install driver to install the Linux

Rocky Linux.

# sh /tmp/hptdd/rhel-install-step1.sh ← Load RR2720A driver.

f. Then Yo u will be returned to the installation process.
