Intel U2-1 quick start Installing Novell NetWare on a RAID Volume

Installing Novell NetWare on a RAID Volume

Follow the required procedure below to install Intel Integrated RAID. There are two procedures listed below (one for each supported version of NetWare). Please follow the instructions for the version you wish to install

(version 4.2 or 5.0).

NetWare 4.2

1Create a NetWare Installation Diskette: Insert the Intel Integrated RAID CD-ROM into the target system and restart the system to boot from the CD-ROM. When the ROM-DOS Startup Menu appears select option #1 “Make Diskettes”. When the “Select a diskette to create” screen appears, select “NetWare Installation”. A command window appears. Insert a blank high-density diskette in drive A: and press Enter to create the NetWare Installation Diskette. Alternatively the CD-ROM can be inserted into a different system running Windows 95, 98 or NT. The CD-ROM’s “auto-run” feature will bring up a menu that will allow creation of the NetWare Installation Diskette.

2Insert MS-DOS floppy and reboot. Once you reboot, you will have to run FDISK to create a DOS partition of at least 50MB on the newly created volume (make sure it is flagged as the “Active” partition). Reboot and format the new partition. Make the new partition bootable.

3Copy the desired MS-DOS files to the hard drive, copy the necessary CD-ROM drivers (e.g. ATAPI_CD.SYS and MSCDEX.EXE) and create a CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT that loads those drivers. Additionally, insert the following lines in the CONFIG.SYS file: files=30

buffers=20

4Reboot the server, insert the NetWare Installation CD-ROM, go to the appropriate drive letter and run INSTALL.BAT.

5After booting you will first be asked to Accept the License Agreement. Do so and then select “NetWare 4.2”, then select “Custom installation of NetWare 4.2”. Enter the server name and internal network number. Hit Enter to begin the initial file copy.

6Confirm the locale configuration and select Continue. Modify the NCF files. Make any desired modifications. Next, the device driver installation screen appears.

7Choose “Select additional or modify selected Disk/LAN drivers”.

8Choose “Select an additional driver”. Hit Insert to install an unlisted driver. Make sure that the NetWare Installation diskette is in the floppy drive and hit Enter. Select “BKSTROSM.HAM” from the list.

9Continue with the NetWare installation as normal by following the screen prompts.

10Once the server installation is finished, complete the installation of the Intel Integrated RAID software suite by following the steps below.

11Run "LOAD INSTALL".
