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.
