Update the SLES 11 SP3 Device Driver

Perform the procedure in this section to update the SLES 11 SP3 device driver.

  1. Install and boot SLES 11 SP3 as described in your Linux operating system installation guide.

    For instructions, refer to the Oracle Server X5-2L Installation Guide for Linux Operating Systems.

    • If the system contains an Oracle System Assistant USB drive that was auto-mounted by the operating system, continue with Step 5. If the Oracle System Assistant USB drive was not auto-mounted by the operating system, you must first find the SCSI device that represents the Oracle System Assistant USB drive. Continue with Step 2.

    • If you downloaded and unzipped the SLES 11 SP3 driver and software package from My Oracle Support, continue with Step 5.

  2. Open a terminal window. At the system prompt, type the lsscsi command to list SCSI devices on the server.

    Your output should be similar to the following example:

    #>lsscsi
         [0:2:0:0]    disk    LSI      MR9361-8i        4.23  /dev/sda
         [0:2:1:0]    disk    LSI      MR9361-8i        4.23  /dev/sdb
         [1:0:0:0]    cd/dvd  TEAC     DV-W28S-B        AT11  /dev/sr0
         [7:0:0:0]    disk    ORACLE   SSM              PMAP  /dev/sdc

    In the above example, the Oracle System Assistant (ORACLE SSM) USB drive is available as SCSI block device /dev/sdc.


    Note -  Alternatively, you can view the SCSI block device assignments in /var/log/messages.
  3. Type the mount <SCSI_blk_dev> command to manually mount the Oracle System Assistant image.

    Where the SCSI_blk_dev variable represents partition 1 on the SCSI block device from the lsscsi command output. For example:

    #>mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
  4. Type the ls -l /mnt command to verify that the Oracle System Assistant image has been mounted.

    For example:

    #>ls -l /mnt
         total 724

  5. Navigate to the location of the Oracle System Assistant image.

    If the Oracle System Assistant image was auto-mounted by the operating system or downloaded from My Oracle Support, navigate to that location; otherwise, navigate to the location where you manually mounted the image. For example:

    #>cd /mnt/Linux/SLES/11SP3/Drivers/Sun_Storage_12Gb_SAS_PCIe_RAID
  6. Type the ls -l command to find the updated SLES 11 SP3 device driver for the Oracle Storage 12 Gb/s SAS PCIe RAID HBA.

    For example:

    #>ls -l
         total 296
         -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 299893 Sep 18 20:04 lsi-megaraid_sas-kmp-default-06.703.06.00_3.0.76_0.11-4.1.x86_64.rpm
  7. Type the rpm -Uvh command to install the new device driver.

    For example:

    #>rpm -Uvh lsi-megaraid_sas-kmp-default-06.703.06.00_3.0.76_0.11-4.1.x86_64.rpm
  8. Reboot the server to load the updated device driver.
