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:
Example:
mkdir <destination_folder>
mount -oloop <driver_image> <destination_folder>
Step 6 Copy the contents in the directory to your USB thumb drive.
Installing the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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 RHEL device driver on systems that have the embedded
MegaRAID stack.
If you use an embedded RAID controller with Linux and a DVD drive is present on the pSATA controller,
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).
Step 1 Prepare the dud.img file using one of the following methods:
• To install from physical disk, use the procedure in Preparing Physical Thumb Drive for Linux, on page 140, then
continue with step 4.
• To install from virtual disk, download the Cisco UCS C-Series drivers’ ISO, as described in Downloading the
MegaSR Drivers, on page 138, then continue with the next step.
Step 2 Extract the dud.img (or .iso) file:
a) Burn the ISO image to a disk.
b) Browse the contents of the drivers folders to the location of the embedded MegaRAID drivers:
/<OS>/Storage/Intel/C600-M5/
c) Copy the dud-<driver version>.img (or .iso) file to a temporary location on your workstation.
Step 3 Start the Linux driver installation using one of the following methods:
• To install from local media, connect an external USB DVD drive to the server (if the server does not have a DVD
drive installed) and then insert the first RHEL installation disk into the drive. Then continue with Step 6.
• To install from remote ISO, log in to the server’s Cisco IMC interface. Then continue with the next step.
