• To install from virtual disk, download the Cisco UCS C-Series drivers’ ISO, as described in Downloading the
MegaSR Drivers, on page 107, 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 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.
Step 4 Launch a Virtual KVM console window and click the Virtual Media tab.
a) Click Add Image and browse to select your remote RHEL installation ISO file.
b) Click Add Image again and browse to select your dud.img file.
c) Check the check boxes in the Mapped column for the media that you just added, then wait for mapping to complete.
Step 5 Power-cycle the target server.
Step 6 Press F6 when you see the F6 prompt during bootup. The Boot Menu window opens.
Step 7 On the Boot Manager window, select the physical disk or virtual disk and press Enter.
The RHEL installation begins when the image is booted.
Step 8 Enter one of the following blacklist commands at the boot prompt:
• For RHEL 6.x (32- and 64-bit), enter:
linux
dd
blacklist=isci
blacklist=ahci
nodmraid
noprobe=<ata
drive number>
The noprobe values depend on the number of drives. For example, to install RHEL 6.x on a RAID 5
configuration with three drives, enter:
Linux dd blacklist=isci blacklist=ahci nodmraid noprobe=ata1 noprobe=ata2
Note
• For RHEL 7.x (32- and 64-bit), enter:
linux dd modprobe.blacklist=ahci nodmraid
Step 9 Press Enter.
The prompt asks whether you have a driver disk.
Step 10 Use the arrow key to choose Yes, and then press Enter.
Step 11 Choose fd0 to indicate that you have a disk with the driver on it.
Step 12 Do one of the following actions:
• If you prepared the dud.img (or .iso) file on a physical thumb drive, insert the thumb drive to the target server and
then press Enter.
• If you mapped the dud.img (or .iso) file as a virtual disk, choose the location of the virtual disk.
