Dell UCC-60 Installing Solaris Driver, Driver name, driver version, new kernel version installed

2To check whether the driver is successfully installed in the new kernel, type:

dkms status

You must see a message similar to the following one on the screen to confirm installation:

<driver name>, <driver version>, <new kernel version>: installed

3If the previous device driver is in use, you must reboot the system for the updated driver to take effect.

Installing Solaris Driver

Use the procedures in this section to install the driver for Solaris 10. To ensure that you have the current version of the driver, download the updated Solaris driver from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.

The package is a gzipped .tar file. Download the package to a Solaris system, and perform the following steps:

1Extract the package contents: gunzip -c <driver_package.tgz> tar xvf –

2Use the dd command to create a driver update disk. Use the appropriate image for the purpose. Type: dd if=./mega_sas.img of= /<diskette drive device node> bs=32k

NOTE: If you are uncertain which device node corresponds to your diskette drive, execute the rmformat command and search for the correct Logical Node.

NOTE: You can create a DUD on a system running the Windows operating system using the program dcopynt.

3If you prefer, you may use the cdrecord command to create a CDROM instead of a floppy image. Type: cdrecord dev=<bus>,<target>,<lun> mega_sas_cd.iso

NOTE: To identify the correct location of the bus, Target, and logical unit number (LUN) combination, execute the following command:

cdrecord --scanbus
