Driver Installation
Installing Solaris Driver
Use the procedures in this section to install the driver for Solaris 10. To ensure
that you have the current version of the driver, download the updated Solaris
driver from the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com .
The package is a gzipped .tar file. Download the package to a Solaris system,
and perform the following steps:
1
Extract the package contents:
gunzip -
c <driver_package.tgz> | tar xvf –
2
Use the dd command to create a driver update disk. Use the appropriate
image for the purpose. Type:
dd if=./mega_sas.img of=
/<diskette drive device node> bs=32k
NOTE:
If you are uncertain which device node corresponds to your diskette
drive, execute the
rmformat
command and search for the correct
Logical
Node .
NOTE:
You can create a DUD on a system running the Windows operating
system using the program dcopynt.
3
If you prefer, you may use the cdrecord command to create a CDROM
instead of a floppy image. Type:
cdrecord dev=
<bus>,<target>,<lun> mega_sas_cd.iso
NOTE:
To identify the correct location of the bus, target, and logical unit
number (LUN) combination, execute the following command:
cdrecord --scanbus
