The DKU (Driver and Kernel Utility) updates the operating system. Information about the currently-installed DKU, and about the DKU requirements for various workstations can be found in the text file
/etc/DKUversion.
Note: Only install the DKU on an Linux installed using either the Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution from Autodesk, or using a Red Hat Enterprise Linux patched with the kickstart file. Do not install the DKU on unsupported hardware or software.
If adding an Infiniband card, DKU installation must be rerun to setup the drivers. After changing the configuration, you must reboot for them to take effect.
You can get the DKU from
Flame system requirements page.
Tip: For usage, type
INSTALL_DKU --help.
To install the DKU:
- Run
INSTALL_DKU from the installation package.
Note: If the workstation is connected to a SAN, you might need to install the multipath version of the ATTO driver. In such a case, run the install script with the multipath switch:
INSTALL_DKU --multipath.
- Reboot: if a Wacom tablet or storage devices were disconnected or turned off as part of the OS installation, reconnect and power them up, then reboot with
reboot.
- Update firmware using the scripts found in the subdirectories of
/usr/discreet/DKU/current/Utils/. Each subdirectory contains instructions and scripts for checking your firmware and updating it if necessary.
- Power down and back up: shut down with
/sbin/poweroff, disconnect the power cord, wait 10 seconds, reconnect the power cord and restart.
