Installing device drivers while installing 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 server. If all of the direct-access-storage devices (DASD) in the server
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 device drivers while installing UnixWare” on page 19.
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 instruc-
tions. If you are not using multiple disk-storage adapters and controllers go to “Install-
ing the device drivers while installing UnixWare” on page 19.
•
If you are installing UnixWare on a drive attached to a ServeRAID controller, fol-
low the instructions in “Installing UnixWare on a ServeRAID drive”.
•
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 18.
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 device drivers while installing UnixWare”
on page 19.
1.
Install all ServeRAID controllers that you intend to use in your server.
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 num-
ber, installed in the server. To do this:
a.
Turn on the server.
b.
If the ServeRAID Mini-Configuration prompt appears, press Ctrl+I. When a
server 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 Serv-
eRAID controller that appears on the selection screen.
4.
Turn off the server; 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 sys-
tem board, you must do one of the following:
•
If the CD-ROM drive that you are using to install your operating sys-
tem is attached to the integrated ServeRAID controller, disconnect or
remove all disk drives attached to the integrated controller.
