Installing UnixWare on an IDE Disk or Non-RAID SCSI Disk
This procedure installs UnixWare on an IDE disk or non-RAID SCSI disk. It is typically used on a
system where the operating system is on a disk not controlled by GSU31. Have all hardware and
software on hand. See system requirements in

GSU31 Hardware Installation
See
Section 1.4, Install the Adapter Card
for detailed hardware installation procedures.
Intel Integrated RAID Software Installation
1. Ensure that the IDE disk or non-RAID SCSI disk is the only disk connected to the system. The
SCSI disks are connected to the GSU31 after the OS is installed.
Insert UnixWare 7.1 Volume: 1 of 2 diskette and reboot. Install the OS using the install
instruction provided in UnixWare 7 Installation Guide manual. UnixWare will prompt you to
install the Host Bus Adapter diskette. Insert any needed host bus adapter disks and press F10
to continue. If you do have vendor supplied HBA disk, then use the HBA disks supplied with
UnixWare. Do not install the Intel Integrated RAID HBA disk.
Warning:
Only use the version of the HBA disk that is provided on the CD or available from the Intel web
site for installation of this adapter. Do not use a HBA disk available from the vendor to install this
product.
Note:
During the installation of UnixWare, you will be prompted to install the Network
Information Services (NIS) package. By default the installation will configure your system as
an NIS client. See your system administrator for configuration of the NIS services.
After the installation, files such as /etc/inet/inetd.conf are supposed to be distributed to the
client via NIS. If, however, you don’t have a master NIS server on the network, the client will
be unable to retrieve its copy of this (and other) file(s). Depending on the particular service
being requested, fulfilling the request may take a long time, or may fail completely.
If you do not plan on using NIS, defer installation of NIS during the installation by pressing
<F8> on the NIS configuration screen. If you decide at a later time to install NIS, you can do
so using the pkgadd(1) command. Go to
.
2. Insert UnixWare 7.1 Volume: 1 of 2 diskette and reboot. Install the OS using the install
instruction provided in UnixWare 7 Installation Guide manual. UnixWare will prompt you to
install Host Bus Adapter diskette. At that time insert the Unix Installation diskette when
prompted. To create a UnixWare Installation diskette see the
section in
