1.

 

There is a directory /usr/src/megaraid2-<driver_version>, which contains the driver source code, dkms.conf and spec file for the driver.

2.

 

In this directory, there is a subdirectory called redhat_driver_disk which contains the files needed to create the DUD. The files needed are: disk_info,

modinfo, modules.dep, and pcitable.

3.

 

To create the DUD image for pre-RedHat4 distribution, the kernel source package has to be installed to compile the driver. For RedHat4 distribution, the

kernel source is not needed.

 

DUD Creation Procedure

 

Perform the following steps to create the DUD using the DKMS tool:

1.

 

Install the DKMS-enabled megaraid2 driver rpm package on a RedHat system.

2.

 

Type the following command in any directory:

 

dkms mkdriverdisk -d redhat -m megaraid2 -v <driver version> -k <kernel version> 

 

This starts the process to create the megaraid2 DUD image.

3.

 

If you want to build the DUD image for multiple kernel versions, use:

 

dkms mkdriverdisk -d redhat -m megaraid2 -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 megaraid2 driver.

 

 

Installing the Novell NetWare Driver

 

You can use the following methods to install the Novell NetWare® drivers:

l

 

During operating system installation

 

Use this method if you are performing a new installation of Novell NetWare using Dell Systems Management and want to include the drivers. See

Installing the Driver during Operating System Installation

in

Installing Windows 2000 or 2003 Using the Microsoft Operating System CD with Driver

Diskette

for more information.

 

l

 

After adding a new RAID controller

 

Use this method if Novell NetWare is already installed and you want to add the device drivers after installing the RAID controller.

l

 

Performing a Standard Mode Installation of NetWare 5.1SBE, 6.0, and 6.5

 

With standard mode installation, you accept the defaults for the components to be installed.

l

 

Updating existing drivers

 

Use this method if Novell NetWare and the RAID controller are already installed, and you want to update to the latest drivers for the controller.

 

Installing a NetWare Driver for a New Controller

 

Perform the following steps to add a NetWare 5.1, 6.0, 6.5, or later driver to an existing installation.

NOTE:

Currently the DKMS package supports creating the DUD in RedHat distribution only. You can create a DUD on RedHat only.

NOTE:

For information about installing drivers if you use the NetWare CD to install your operating system, see your Novell documentation.
