Preparing Installation Disks with a Linux Operating System
Under Red Hat Linux and SUSE Linux, you can use a driver disk utility to create disk images from image
files.
Note The driver image is too large for a floppy disk, so use a USB thumb drive instead.
Step 1 Download the Cisco UCS C-Series drivers ISO, as described in Downloading the LSI MegaSR Drivers,
page C-15 and save it to your Linux system that has a disk drive.
Step 2 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. Expand the Zip file, which contains the folder with the driver files.
Step 3 Copy the driver update disk image dud-[driver version].img to your Linux system.
Step 4 Insert a blank USB thumb drive into a port on your Linux system.
Step 5 Create a directory and mount the DUD image to that directory:
mkdir <destination_folder>
mount -oloop <driver_image> <destination_folder>
Step 6 Copy the contents in the directory to your USB thumb drive.
