Installing the RPM Package With DKMS Support
Perform the following steps to install the RPM package with DKMS support:
1 Uncompress the gzipped tarball driver release package.
2 Install the DKMS package using the command: rpm -ihv dkms-
<version>.noarch.rpm
3 Install the driver package using the command: rpm -ihv mpt2sas-
<version>.noarch.rpm
NOTE:
Use rpm -Uvh <package name> when updating an existing
package.
4 If the previous device driver is in use, you must reboot the system for the
updated driver to take effect.
5 Verify that the driver has been loaded with these system commands:
modinfo mpt2sas and dkms status .
Upgrading the Kernel
When upgrading to a new kernel, you must reinstall the DKMS-enabled
driver packages. Perform the following steps to update or install the driver for
the new kernel:
1 In a terminal window, type the following:
#dkms build -m <module_name> -v <module version> -
k <kernel version>
#dkms install -m <module_name> -v <module version>
-k <kernel version>
2 To check whether the driver is successfully installed in the new kernel,
type: dkms status
You see a message similar to the following one: <driver name>, <driver
version>, <new kernel version>: installed
3 If the previous device driver is in use, you must reboot the system for the
updated driver to take effect.
