Installing Linux Driver
Use the procedures in this section to install the driver for Linux. The driver is
updated frequently. To ensure that you have the current version of the driver,
download the updated Linux driver from the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com.
NOTE: The driver update disk (DUD) images are created only for those operating
system releases in which the native (in-box) driver is insufficient for installation.
In the event that an operating system is being installed with a corresponding
DUD image, follow the instructions below. If not, proceed with using the
native device driver and then skip to "Installing the RPM Package With DKMS
Support" on page 41.
NOTE: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server 11 use the mpt2sas driver, whereas Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
uses the mpt2sasbtm driver. Examples in this section refer to the mpt2sas driver
only. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, replace mpt2sas with mpt2sasbtm.
Creating a DUD
Before beginning the installation, copy the drivers from the Service and
Diagnostic Utilities media or download the appropriate driver for Linux from
the Dell Support website at support.dell.com. This file includes Red Hat
Package Managers (RPMs) and driver update disk files. The package also
contains the Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) Red Hat Package
Manager (RPM) file, source code, and release notes.
For more information on DKMS, see the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com.
