At this Web site, follow these steps to obtain the updated RESOURCE.SYS
file:
1. Scroll down to the bottom and click Yes, I agree. Show the Device
Category list.
2. Scroll down and select OS/2 Component Updates from the list.
3. Select OS/2 Base Device Driver Updates.
4. Select RESOURCE.SYS update; pre-requisite for updated IBM RAID
Driver.
5. Follow the instructions at the Web site for installing the RESOURCE.SYS
update after you have installed OS/2.
To install the ServeRAID files while installing OS/2:
1. Make a copy of the OS/2 Warp Diskette 1 and label it Copy of OS/2 Diskette
1.
2. Copy the IPSRAID.ADD file from the OS2 directory on the IBM ServeRAID
Device Drivers diskette to the Copy of OS/2 Diskette 1.
If there is not enough space, delete files not needed in your 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.
Important
If you have more than one or SCSI adapter in your system, make sure that the BASEDEV
statement for the adapter or controller controlling the startup (boot) device appears first in
the CONFIG.SYS file before the BASEDEV statements for other or SCSI adapters.
3. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the Copy of OS/2 Diskette 1 to add the following
lines:
BASEDEV=IPSRAID.ADD
SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1
4. Install OS/2, but when you are prompted to insert Diskette 1, use the updated
Copy of OS/2 Diskette 1.
5. After you complete the OS/2 installation, insert the IBM ServeRAID Device
Drivers diskette.
6. From an OS/2 window, type:
a :
where a is the drive letter for the diskette drive that contains the ServeRAID
diskette.
7. Press Enter; then, type:
ddinstal
8. Press Enter. The OS/2 Device Driver Installation window opens.
9. In the Source field type
a :
(where a is the letter of the diskette drive where the
IBM ServeRAID Device Drivers diskette is located). In the Destination field,
type the full path where you want the device driver files to be copied.
10. Click Install. The program copies the IPSRAID.ADD ServeRAID device driver
to the OS/2 subdirectory on your hard disk.
11. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and verify that there is only one copy of the line
BASEDEV=IPSRAID.ADD.
