This section provides steps you must complete to upgrade the SDD for the Linux
operating system on the pSeries host.
This section provides steps you must complete to upgrade the Subsystem Device
Driver (SDD) for the Linux operating system on the pSeries host. You must have a
preexisting version of the SDD installed on your host before you can perform these
steps. See "Installing the Subsystem Device Driver on the pSeries host running the
