DKMS + megaraid update for PE1950 running RHEL5 ?

Upgrading storage drivers would create new grub menu entries. Look for entries that look like "Driver Update Model (2.6.18-53.1.14.el5)" and boot with the newest entry. This would give you the latest megaraid_sas built-in to the initrd image. Booting to the default kernel's (2.6.18-53.1.14.el5) initrd would not have the updated megaraid_sas driver.

 

Thanks,
Charles

Objet : DKMS + megaraid update for PE1950 running RHEL5 ?

 

Hello,

 

I want to update a PE1950 as OMSA gives me an alert concerning a too old megaraid driver message..

 

What should I do ? I'm not a linux Guru and it's a production server  ;-((

 

Here is what I can give you :
