These instructions assume that you are working with a x86 system using
either the Mylex MDAC driver.

Note
When the Solaris Intel Platform Edition software is
already installed, the simplest way to add new or
updated drivers is to install the supplemental driver
diskettes as patches on your system.
Follow the steps below for a secondary (existing) installation.
1. Access the root directory. At the # prompt, type
cd /
2. Type the following command to see if the Volume Management
software is running on the computer you are updating:
ps -ef | grep vold
☛
Note
For more information about managing diskettes and
drives, see the System Administration Guide for
Solaris.
3. If Volume Management is running, temporarily stop it by typing the
following command line at the system prompt.
/etc/init.d/volmgt stop
4. Insert the MDAC Supplemental Diskette into the disk drive.
5. Mount the MDAC Supplemental Diskette at the /mnt mount point by
typing the following command:
mount -F pcfs /dev/diskette /mnt
☛
Note
You must mount the MDAC Supplemental Diskette at
this point in the file structure to update your computer
successfully.
6. Execute the install script on the diskette, using the appropriate Solaris
release directory (sol_27 for Solaris 7). For example:
# /mnt/DU/sol_27/i86pc/Tools/install.sh -i
