Installation Instructions:
==========================
1. Use DUD driver image.
Please refer to the MegaRAID SAS Device Driver Installation Guide. If installing from a Driver Update Disk (DUD), please select the appropriate .img from this zip file.

You can transfer a driver disk image to a USB drive with the rawrite tool from DOS, or the dd utility in Linux. The URL
for the rawrite tool is http://www.tux.org/pub/dos/rawrite. On a Linux machine, you can use the dd command to burn
a driver ISO image on a USB drive.
Perform the following steps to create a DUD with a USB drive.
1. Insert a USB stick into a Linux machine, making sure that the USB drive is not mounted.
2. Type the following command:
"$ dd if= of=/dev/sdx"
where /dev/sdx is the USB drive.
3. Press Enter.
4. Mount the USB stick to verify its contents.
5. Make sure the DUD image is in iso9660 format or msdos format by typing the following command:
$df -T
6. Press Enter.
The file system type and other information about the mounted devices appear.

2. Use .rpm file.
In case you can use rpm option to install, apply chmod to 777 if it is necessary.

Example :
rpm -ivh kmod-megaraid_sas-vxxxxxx.xxx.rpm
rpm --force -ivh kmod-megaraid_sas-vxxxxxx_UEK.xxx.rpm

Perform the following steps to install or update to the latest version of the MegaSAS driver:
1. Boot the system.
2. Go to Console (your terminal GUI).
3. Install the Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) driver RPM.
Uninstall the earlier version first, if needed.
4. Install the MegaSAS driver RPM.
Uninstall the earlier version first, if needed.
5. Reboot the system to load the drive

Reboot will be required
