User`s guide

After installing the Debian Linux driver, you must replace the
SCSI Device Partition Name in Debian’s GRUB bootloader with
a UUID. Failure to update the partition name may cause the
system to hang when the OS is rebooted. In the GRUB bootloader
file "menu.lst", replace the SCSI device partition name
(for instance, /dev/sda1), with UUID=<string>.
3.8 Ubuntu Linux Setup
- When installing the driver on an existing Ubuntu 11 or 12 OS,
the install script may stop at "grep vermagic" if the OS is
already installed with Ubuntu-desktop packages. To avoid this
problem, always install the driver packages first:
# sudo dpkg -i aacraid-1.2.1-29600-Ubuntu11.04+11.10+12.04-all.deb
...then install Ubuntu desktop utilities by doing an online update:
# sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
- After installing the Ubuntu driver, you must increase the
SCSI command timeout value from 30 seconds (the default
value) to 90 seconds. Failure to increase the timeout may
cause the system to hang with an EXT4 error when a good drive
is removed from a rebuilding array. Use these commands to
increase the timeout in SYSFS, assuming /dev/sda, /dev/sdb,
and /dev/sdc are the device LUNs on the Ubuntu Linux host:
echo ``90``> /sys/block/sda/device/timeout
echo ``90``> /sys/block /sdb/device/timeout
echo ``90``> /sys/block/sdc/device/timeout
