HighPoint was the first PC HBA manufacturer to enter the Mac market. In early 2005, we released OS X support for the RocketRAID 1820A 8-port PCI-X card for Mac G4 systems, followed mid-year by the first SATAII PCI-X adapter available for Macintosh G5 platforms, the RocketRAID 2220. Device Driver for RocketRAID 2314 and RocketRAID 2304 Operating System File Name Version File Date. Mac OS X 10.4.9 rr231000.kext v2.1. Yes, they are working on Mac drivers for it. Several companies make internal drive mounting kits for the G5 Power Mac if you want to avoid running the RocketRAID's cables outside. However, be aware that the newest, high capacity drives require so much 'juice' to spin up that you might need a supplemental power supply like the one offered.

This guide assists with the installation of a RocketRAID card on Gentoo Linux.

Installation

Enabling the HPT-RR overlay

The HPT-RR overlay contains the necessary packages to easily install and configure a RocketRAID card.

Using eselect repository

Ensure that app-eselect/eselect-repository and dev-vcs/git are installed:

Then configure and sync the overlay:

Using layman

The second method to enable the overlay is through layman. Edit /etc/layman/layman.cfg and add the overlay definition:

Next, synchronize the overlays and add the RocketRAID one (which is named RocketRAID):

It is of course also possible to clone the repository for a local overlay:

Building and installing the Linux kernel module

Depending on the hardware card, enable the right USE flag.

Then, install the sys-block/rocketraid package in order to automatically build and install the right kernel module:

Loading the kernel module

Load the newly built kernel module (example for the rr232x module):

Validate that the hardware has been properly detected by reading through the dmesg output close after loading the module:

If the module correctly found the hardware, then make sure that this module is automatically loaded at boot. This can be accomplished by adding it to the /etc/modules-load.d/raid.conf file.

Installing supporting software

There are a couple of software packages that provide additional support for the RocketRAID cards.

The sys-block/hptraidconf package provides configuration and monitoring support for the RocketRAID card. It requires a daemon running on the system, provided through the sys-block/hptsvr package. The client itself does not need to be installed on the system that has the RAID card in it.

Deploy the two packages:

Configuration

To run the server, add the right hardware module to /etc/hptcfg:

Now start the server:

To start the server on every system boot, type in:

Administration

To administer the RAID card settings, connect to the server using the hptraidconf command.

The default username is RAID and the default password is hpt.

After a successful login, a prompt will appear through which the administrative tasks can be executed.

All supported commands are documented in the official documentation (.tgz).
