Driver Installation 39
Creating a DUD Using DKMS
Perform the following steps to create the DUD using the DKMS tool.
NOTE: The driver must be installed on the system where this procedure is performed.
1
Install the DKMS-enabled
mpt2sas
driver rpm package.
2
Type the following command in any directory:
dkms mkdriverdisk -m
mpt2sas -v <driverversion> -k <kernel version> -d
<distro>
NOTE: The values for the -d option are suse for Suse Linux Enterprise
Server diskettes and
redhat for RHEL diskettes.
NOTE: For more information on usage of DKMS, see the DKMS man page.
This starts the process to create the mpt2sas DUD image. After the DUD
image has been built, you can find it in the DKMS tree for the mpt2sas driver.
See the output of the dkms mkdriverdisk command for the exact path.
