3. Installing the Software Package
4. Configuration
5. Running the Management Software
6. Rivision History

1. Files Listing
------------------
        README.txt                             This file
        RAID_Manage_Linux_2.3.1_14_10_20.bin    Install file
        HPT_CLI_Guide.pdf         CLI User Manual

2. System Requirements
------------------------

        The software package must be installed on system with supported HighPoint
        RAID controllers installed, and the device driver must be loaded to run
        the service.
   
        A web browser with XML support is required on the client side, e.g. Internet
        Explorer 6.0, Mozilla or FireFox.


3. Installing the Software Package
------------------------------------

        To install the packge, you must log on as root.
        
        Start your terminal and input the command:
                # ./RAID_Manage_Linux_2.3.1_14_10_20.bin

        The following files will be installed/configured:
   
                /usr/bin/hptsvr            - service program
                /usr/bin/hptraidconf       - command line program(CLI)
                /etc/hptcfg                - service config file
                /etc/rc.d/init.d/hptdaemon - service control script
                /usr/share/hpt/webguiroot  - data files

        If there is no /etc/hptcfg, you can add it manually by echo the controller
        driver name to /etc/hptcfg. For example for RR3220
    
                # echo hptiop >/etc/hptcfg

        You can use command "rpm -e hptsvr-https" or "dpkg -r hptsvr" to uninstall the software.
     

4. Configuration
------------------

        The RAID Management Service (hptsvr) will look for a driver name in 
        /etc/hptcfg and work with that driver. You need to update the file to 
        match your RAID driver module name (e.g. hptmv6 for RocketRAID 2220).


5. Running the Management Software
------------------------------------
        a. RUN WEBGUI
                To run the WebGUI, start your browser and enter the following URL address:
   
                           http://localhost:7402
       
                If you are accessing WebGUI on a remote system please change "localhost"
                to the server address.
        b. RUN hptraidconf(CLI)
                To run the CLI, start your terminal and input the command:
                           hptraidconf
                then you need input USERNAME and PASSWORD(same as WebGUI) or 
                you can use the command:
                           hptraidconf -u RAID -p hpt
                to login.

                And you can enter a complete command with parameters at the shell prompt and receive
                one output result on the screen at a time.
                           hptraidconf -u {username} -p {password} {command}
                Example:
                           #hptraidconf -u RAID -p hpt query controllers 

        If you can't connect to local system or CLI, please check if hptsvr is running on
        the system. If not, start it manually by running "hptsvr".
   
        If you can't connect to a remote system, check if hptsvr is running on that
        system and you can access the remote system via TCP/IP connection. If you
        have firewall configured, make sure TCP port 7402 is not blocked.
