Installing ServerRAID device drivers for
OS/2:
This section provides two sets of instructions for installing
the ServeRAID device driver: one that you can use during
the initial OS/2 installation and one that you can use if
OS/2 already is installed.
The ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Program
files and background-server component for OS/2 install
automatically when you use the instructions in this chapter
to install the ServeRAID device driver for OS/2.
Installing the files while installing OS/2:
You can
use the following instructions to install the ServeRAID
device driver and Administration and Monitoring Program
files while installing OS/2 Warp Server.
Note
If you install these files on a logical drive that has its
write policy set to the write-back mode, wait at least

Waiting 10 seconds or longer gives the ServeRAID
adapter or controller the time needed to flush all

1. Use the ServerGuide Diskette Factory to create an
IBM ServeRAID Device Driver Diskette.

Copy of OS/2 Diskette 1.
If there is not enough space, delete files not needed
in the installation (such as proprietary CD-ROM or
SCSI device drivers). Make sure you remove all
entries referring to any device drivers you delete from
the CONFIG.SYS file.
4. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the Copy of OS/2
Diskette 1 to add the following lines:
BASEDEV=IPSRAID.ADD
SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1
5. Install OS/2, but when prompted to insert diskette 1,
use the updated Copy of OS/2 Diskette 1.
