Dell UCS-51 manual Driver Installation

Perform the following steps to create the DUD using the DKMS tool.

1Install the DKMS-enabled SAS 5/iR driver rpm package on a system running a SUSE Linux operating system.

2Type the following command in any directory:

dkms mkdriverdisk -d redhat -m mptlinux -v <driver version> -k <kernel version>

This starts the process to create the SAS 5/iR DUD image.

3If you want to build the DUD image for multiple kernel versions, use the following command:

dkms mkdriverdisk -d redhat -m mptlinux -v <driver version> -k <kernel_version_1> -k <kernel_version_2> ...

4After the DUD image has been built, you can find it in the DKMS tree for the SAS 5/iR driver.

NOTE: The DKMS package supports both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
