Install the VxFlex OS drivers on a Linux server
Dell EMC recommends that you install all applicable VxFlex OS drivers on each Linux server in preparation for installing
the VxFlex OS software.
Procedure
1. Download the VxFlex OS driver Zip file from https://support.emc.com/products/42216 to a Windows-based
server.
2. Using a Windows OS-based system, unzip the file's contents to a temporary location on Drive C, such as
C:\temp.
The unzipped file displays a list of folders that correspond to the hardware components that may be installed on
your server.
3. Browse through the folders and locate the Linux drivers that correspond to the hardware components installed
on the server.
4. Using an application such as winscp, copy the driver files to the VxFlex OS server.
5. Open a console connection to the VxFlex OS server and install each driver file using the following command:
rpm -ivh <rpm name>
Note:
In some cases a dependent rpm is required and should be in the same folder.
6. After all the VxFlex OS drivers are installed, reboot the server.
7. To verify that the drivers are loaded, run the lsmod command to list the loaded drivers, and then use modinfo
to view the driver information for each of the drivers in the list.
