The noprobe values depend on the number of drives. For example, to install RHEL 6.5 on a RAID
5 configuration with three drives, enter:
Linux dd blacklist=isci blacklist=ahci nodmraid noprobe=ata1 noprobe=ata2
Note
Step 9
Press Enter.
The prompt asks whether you have a driver disk.
Step 10
Use the arrow key to choose Yes, and then press Enter.
Step 11
Choose fd0 to indicate that you have a disk with the driver on it.
Step 12
Do one of the following actions:
•
If you prepared the dud.img file on a physical thumb drive, insert the thumb drive to the target server
and then press Enter.
•
If you mapped the dud.img (or .iso) file as a virtual disk, choose the location of the virtual disk.
The installer locates and loads the driver for your device. The following message appears:
Loading megasr driver...
Step 13
Follow the RHEL installation procedure to complete the installation.
Step 14
Reboot the target server.
Installing the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Driver
For the specific supported OS versions, see the Hardware and Software Compatibility Matrix for your server
release.
This topic describes the fresh installation of the SLES driver on systems that have the embedded MegaRAID
stack.
If you use an embedded RAID controller with Linux, both the pSATA and the sSATA controller must be
set to LSI SW RAID mode.
Note
Before You Begin
Before you install this driver on the sSATA embedded controller, you must configure a RAID drive group.
To access the configuration utility, open the BIOS Setup Utility, go to the Advanced tab, and then choose
the utility instance for the sSATA embedded controller: LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility (sSATA).
Procedure
Step 1
Prepare the dud.img (or .iso) file using one of the following methods:
•
To install from physical disk, use the procedure in Preparing Physical Thumb Drive for Linux, on page
21, then continue with step 4.
• To install from virtual disk, download the Cisco UCS B-Series drivers’ ISO, as described in Downloading
the MegaSR Drivers, on page 18, then continue with the next step.
