Driver Installation
Creating a Driver Update Diskette Using DKMS
Perform the following steps to create the Driver Update Diskette (DUD)
using the DKMS tool:
NOTE:
The driver must be installed on the system where this procedure is performed.
1 Install the DKMS-enabled megaraid_sas driver rpm package.
2 Type the following command in any directory:
dkms mkdriverdisk –m megaraid_sas –v <driver
version> -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 main page.
This starts the process to create the megaraid_sas DUD image. After the
DUD image has been built, you can find it in the DKMS tree for the
megaraid_sas driver. See the output of the dkms mkdriverdisk
command for the exact path.

1 Boot normally from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation media.
2 At the command prompt, type: linux expert dd
3 When the install prompts for additional drivers, insert the diskette
or USB key and press <Enter>.
