[root@mcs Diablo]# td-cli device --list
Device List:

Updating the Linux driver

NB: This must be run as root user

Determine the revision of the system Kernel using uname -r

[root@mcs Diablo]# uname -r
2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64

As root, change to the working directory that contains the RPM files.
To upgrade the ULLtraDIMM Memory-Channel Storage driver, install the RPM using the correct Kernel revision information with rpm –U

[root@mcs Diablo]# rpm -U teradimm-kmod-2.6.32-358.el6-1.4.4.105-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

Updating the CLI tools

As with the driver, use rpm -U

[root@mcs Diablo]# rpm -U teradimm-cli-1.4.4.89-1.x86_64.rpm
