Step 1 Download the Cisco UCS C-Series drivers ISO, as described in Downloading the MegaSR Drivers, on page 107 and save
it to your Linux system.
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-M5/
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 (or .iso) 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, 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 an embedded controller, you must configure a RAID drive group on the
embedded controller that controls the drives where you will install the OS (pSATA and/or sSATA).
To access the configuration utility, open the BIOS Setup Utility, go to the Advanced tab, and then choose
the utility instance for the embedded controller:
• For pSATA, select LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility (SATA)
• For sSATA, select LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility (sSATA)
Step 1 Prepare the dud.img (or .iso) file using one of the following methods:
• To install from physical drive, use the procedure inPreparing Physical Thumb Drive for Linux, on page 109, then
continue with step 4.
