Appendix C RAID Controller Considerations
Embedded MegaRAID Controller
Note The noprobe values depend on the number of drives. For example, to install RHEL 5.7 on a
RAID 5 configuration with three drives, enter:
Linux dd blacklist=isci blacklist=ahci noprobe=ata1 noprobe=ata2 noprobe=ata3
Step 10 Press Enter.
The prompt asks whether you have a driver disk.
Step 11 Use the arrow key to select Yes , and then press Enter.
Step 12 Select fd0 to indicate that you have a floppy diskette with the driver on it.
Step 13 Do one of the following actions:
• If you prepared the IMG file on a physical diskette in Step 2: Connect an external USB diskette drive
to the target server and then insert the diskette in the A:/ drive and press Ent
er.
• If you mapped the IMG file as a virtual floppy in Step 5: Select the location of the virtual floppy.
The installer locates and loads the driver for yo

Step 2 Prepare the dud.img file using one of the following methods:
• To install from a physical diskette: Use one of the procedures in Preparing Physical Installation
Diskettes For Linux, page C-14.
Then return to Step 4 of this procedure.
• To install from a virtual floppy disk: Download and save the Cisco UCS C-Series drivers ISO, as
described in D
ownloading the LSI MegaSR Drivers, page C-12.
Then continue with the next step.
Step 3 Extract the dud.img file:
a. Burn the ISO image to a disc.
b. Browse the contents of the drivers folders to the location of the embedded MegaRAID drivers:
/<OS>/Storage/Intel/C600/
c. Copy the dud-<driver version>.img file to a temporary location on your workstation.
Step 4 Start the Linux driver installation using one of the following methods:
