Installing the DKU on the Linux Workstation

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.

You can download the latest DKU from System Requirements page for your product:

Tip: For usage, type INSTALL_DKU --help.

To install the DKU:

  1. Extract the contents of the downloaded DKU file: tar -xvf <DKU_file_name>.tar.
  2. Go into the directory where the DKU was extracted, and type the following command to install the DKU: ./INSTALL_DKU.
    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.
  3. When the DKU install is complete, reboot your workstation. 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.
  4. If necessary, 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.
  5. Power down and back up: shut down with /sbin/poweroff, disconnect the power cord, wait 10 seconds, reconnect the power cord and restart.
  6. Note: 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.
