Preparing the Linux Driver

Ensure that there is another computer with a Linux-based OS to create the RAID driver. When creating the RAID driver, you may refer to the examples below which uses a 64bit SUSE Linux system to create a 64bit RAID driver for SUSE11 sp1.

1.Copy the image file into the Linux system.

Example: megasr-15.00.0120.2012-1-sles11-ga-x86_64.img

2.Create a folder.

Example: image

3.Mount the image file into the image folder using this command format:

mount -o loop [image file name] image

Example: mount -o loop megasr-15-15.00.0120.2012-1-sles11- ga-x86__64.img image

4.Copy the contents of the image directory, labeled as 01, into a FAT32 USB drive.

5.Rename the 01 folder to CD Image.
