Upgrading Linux Driver for SAS 6/iR integrated RAID Controller on a PowerEdge 2950

I am trying to upgrade the Linux driver for SAS 6/iR integrated RAID controller on a PowerEdge 2950. I have downloaded the latest driver for Red Hat Enterprise 5.0. The name of the file is mptlinux_4.00.07.00_2.tgz

 

Following the instructions in R165757.txt I've done the following:

 

[root@c4esx5 RPM]# tar -xvf mptlinux_4.00.07.00_2.tgz

tar: This does not look like a tar

archivetar: Skipping to next

headertar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64

headerstar: Error exit delayed from previous errors 

 

I found this link regarding “obsolescent base-64 headers”, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linuxquestions.org-member-success-stories-23/tar-archive-contains-obsolescent-base-64-headers-85911/ , and did the following: 

[root@c4esx5 RPM]# gzip -d mptlinux_4.00.07.00_2.tgz

[root@c4esx5 RPM]# tar -xvf mptlinux_4.00.07.00_2.tar

dkms-2.0.13-1.noarch.rpm

mptlinux-4.00.07.00-2dkms.noarch.rpm

mptlinux-4.00.07.00-2-rhel5.i686.dd.gz

mptlinux-4.00.07.00-2-rhel5.x86_64.dd.gz

mptlinux-4.00.07.00-2-sles10.x86_64.dd.gz

mptlinux-4.00.07.00-src.tarSAS_4.00.07.00_RHEL5-SLES10.txt 

 

Then I continued according to step ”3.3 Adding/Updating the SAS Driver to an Existing Linux system” in SAS_4.00.07.00_RHEL5-SLES10.txt: 

[root@c4esx5 RPM]# rpm -ivh dkms-2.0.13-1.noarch.rpm

I've restarted the server but it still warns for the following in Server Administrator: 

Firmware/Driver Information for Controller SAS 6/iR Integrated Firmware Version;00.20.48.00.06.14.10.00Driver Version;2.06.48Minimum Required Driver Version;4.00.00.00

 

Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this problem?
