Installing device drivers for UnixWare
The instructions that you use for installing the ServeRAID files when using
UnixWare depend on the number of IDE and SCSI disk-storage adapters and
controllers installed in the system. If all of the direct-access-storage devices (DASD)
in the system are attached to a single disk-storage adapter or controller (such as
the ServeRAID controller), you can skip the instructions in this section and go
directly to “Installing the files while installing UnixWare” on page 41.
Attaching devices to multiple disk-storage adapters or controllers: If you are
attaching devices to multiple disk-storage adapters or controllers (including IDE and
SCSI controllers integrated on the system board), use the following instructions. If
you are not using multiple disk-storage adapters and controllers go to “Installing the
files while installing UnixWare” on page 41.
v
If you are installing UnixWare on a drive attached to a ServeRAID controller,
follow the instructions in “Installing UnixWare on a ServeRAID drive”.
v
If you are installing UnixWare on a drive attached to a non-ServeRAID adapter or
controller and you intend to store only data on the drives attached to your
ServeRAID controllers, follow the instructions in “Installing UnixWare on a
non-ServeRAID drive” on page 40.
Installing UnixWare on a ServeRAID drive: Use the following instructions if you are
using multiple disk-storage adapters or controllers and you are installing UnixWare
on a drive attached to a ServeRAID controller. If you not using multiple disk-storage
adapters and controllers, go to “Installing the files while installing UnixWare” on
page 41.
1. Install all ServeRAID controllers that you intend to use in your system.
2. Using the ServeRAID Manager program, create all of your arrays and define
all of your logical drives.
3. Make a list of all of the ServeRAID controllers, including the order and slot
number, installed in the system. To do this:
a. Turn on the server.
b. If the ServeRAID Mini-Configuration prompt appears, press Ctrl+I. When a
system contains more than one ServeRAID controller, a selection window
appears.
c. The menu lists the ServeRAID controllers in order. Select the first
ServeRAID controller from the menu.
d. Select Advanced Functions from the Main Menu.
e. Select View Controller and PCI Information from the Advanced Functions
menu.
f. Record the slot number for the ServeRAID controller; then, press Esc three
times to return to the controller-selection window.
g. Repeat step 3c through step 3f until you record the slot number for each
ServeRAID controller that appears on the selection screen.
4. Turn off the system; then, remove all ServeRAID controllers except the first one
on your list.
Note: If one of the ServeRAID controllers that you need to remove is on the
system board, you must do one of the following:
