DUD Creation Procedure
Perform the following steps to create the DUD using the DKMS tool.
1 Install the DKMS-enabled megaraid_sas driver rpm package on a system running a SUSE Linux
operating system.
2 Type the following command in any directory:
dkms mkdriverdisk -d redhat -m megaraid_sas -v <driver version>
-k <kernel version>
This starts the process to create the megaraid_sas DUD image.
3 If you want to build the DUD image for multiple kernel versions, use the following command:
dkms mkdriverdisk -d redhat -m megaraid_sas -v <driver version>
-k <kernel_version_1>, <kernel_version_2>, ...
4 After the DUD image has been built, you can find it in the DKMS tree for the megaraid_sas driver.
NOTE:
The DKMS package supports both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
