Installing Media SDK 2016

[Bob_Kirnum]

Got a new GPU system and attempted to install the Media SDK.  Not sure it went well . . . 

[root@sut-1339 x86_64]# rpm -Uvh kernel-3.10.0-229.1.2.47109.MSSr1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm

Am I missing something?  Should I reboot?  Try installing again?

It looks like you're very close on your install.  From the getting started guide, these are the steps in a nutshell:

(as root)
# ./install_sdk_UMD_CentOS.sh
# mkdir /MSS
# chown {regular user}:{regular group} /MSS

(as regular user)
$ cp build_kernel_rpm_CentOS.sh /MSS
$ cd /MSS
$ ./build_kernel_rpm*.sh 

(as root)
# cd /MSS/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64
# rpm -Uvh kernel-3.10.*.rpm
# reboot

First, install the user-mode components with "install_sdk_UMD_CentOS.sh", then build the kernel RPM with "build_kernel_rpm_CentOS.sh".  Install the kernel and reboot.

More detailed checks/diagnostics are described in this paper:

http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/quicksync-video-ffmpeg-install-valid.pdf

While the title says it's about FFmpeg, the majority of the diagnostics are for Media Server Studio.

Thanks for the response Jeff.  I do realize I am very close, I am up to the last step, reboot.  I have installed this SDk (and the 2015) several times on another system.  I am unsure about the results of the second to last step, installing the rpm . . .

Are the warnings some indication that the SDK is not properly installed?  None of this is detailed in the document you provided.

Thanks - Bob

As I'm reading the warnings, they are harmless.  They are from the "clean" stage of the RPM install, reporting that a file rpm is attempting to remove isn't there to remove. The directory affected is for the previous kernel's modules, not the kernel modules you're installing, so it doesn't necessarily indicate something is missing from the MSS kernel rpm package.  Of course the real proof is to reboot to the new kernel -- if something is missing it should be obvious.  Thanks for the documentation suggestion -- seems like a good addition to the install documentation.
