image for the purpose.

Creating a Driver Update Diskette Using DKMS
Perform the following steps to create the Driver Update Diskette (DUD)
using the DKMS tool:
NOTE: To work, the driver must be installed on the system where this procedure is
performed.
1
Install the DKMS-enabled megaraid_sas driver rpm package.
2
Type the following command in any directory:
dkms mkdriverdisk –m megaraid_sas –v <driver
version> -k <kernel version> -d <distro>
NOTE: The values for the –d option are suse for Suse Linux Enterprise
Server diskettes and
redhat for RHEL diskettes.
NOTE: For further information on usage of DKMS, see the DKMS main page.
This starts the process to create the megaraid_sas DUD image. After the
DUD image has been built, you can find it in the DKMS tree for the
megaraid_sas driver. See the output of the
dkms mkdriverdisk
command for the exact path.
