Driver Installation 25
To create the DUD using the DKMS tool:
1
Install the DKMS-enabled SAS 6/iR driver rpm package on a system running a SUSE Linux
operating system.
2
Type 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 6/iR DUD image.
3
If 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>...
4
After the DUD image has been built, you can find it in the DKMS tree for the SAS 6/iR driver.
NOTE: The DKMS package supports both Red Hat Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
Installing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Using the Driver Update Diskette NOTE: See "Creating a Driver Diskette" on page19 for information on creating a driver diskette.
NOTE: The SAS 6i/R driver is native on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 10 operating system and later
versions. It is recommended that you install these operating systems with the native driver. After installation, use
