Comment 14 for bug 1425116

Hello,

Actually the newer driver version 3.4.8 has been merged.
To check how the driver works you need server with the RAID. (It has been
checked on HP DL 360 Gen 9 using a customer server).

To check just a driver version you should deploy Fuel, but not installed
Ubuntu or CentOS.
Than login to the node in bootstrap mode and check the driver by the command

modinfo <path_to_driver>/hpsa.ko

You should see the driver version and kernel version for which it was
compiled.

The alternative way is unpack initramfs and type the command modinfo hpsa.ko

To extract initramfs you should
1. Mount ISO
sudo mkdir /mnt/iso
sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 -r <fuel-name>.iso /mnt/iso
2. Copy initramfs to /tmp/initramfs
sudo mkdir /tmp/initramfs
cp /mnt/iso/bootstrap/initramfs.img /tmp/initramfs/
3. Unpack the initramfs
cd /tmp/initramfs
mv initramfs.img initramfs.img.gz
gunzip initramfs.img.gz
mkdir initramfs-new
cd initramfs-new/
cpio -i < ../initramfs.img
3. You will have unpacked image initramfs in the initramfs-new directory.
Check driver version by the command
modinfo lib/modules/3.10.55-1.mira4.x86_64/kernel/drivers/scsi/hpsa.ko

You will get something like
filename:
/tmp/initramfs/initramfs-new/lib/modules/3.10.55-1.mira4.x86_64/kernel/drivers/scsi/hpsa.ko

4. Don't forget unmount the iso and clean-up the folders, files.
