To create the boot diskette from a Windows client system, perform the following steps:

1.Use the RaWrite utility to extract the system boot diskette software and copy it to the diskette.

If you do not already have this utility on your system, it is on the CD in the <drive>:\utils\Rawrite directory where drive is the CD-ROM drive.

2.Insert a blank, write-enabled diskette into the diskette drive. Label the diskette "System Boot Diskette 1, Data ONTAP 5.3."

3.Open the RaWrite folder and double-click the Rawrite.exe file.

The RaWrite utility starts and prompts you for an image source file.

4.Enter the name used for the image file (for example, boot1 for boot diskette 1 or boot2 for boot diskette 2).

The utility prompts you for a target diskette drive.

5.Enter the drive letter for the formatted diskette that will be the system boot diskette.

The status of the operation is displayed in messages. When the operation is done, continue to the next step.

6.Remove the diskette from the drive and write-protect the diskette.

7.Repeat this procedure for the second system boot diskette and label it "System Boot Diskette 2, Data ONTAP 5.3."

To create the boot diskette from a UNIX client, perform the following steps:

Replace the variable filename with the name of the image to be /mnt/ontap/5_3/alpha/ boot1 and /mnt/ontap/5_3/alpha/boot2 in the CD, where /mnt is the directory on the client where you mounted the CD-ROM drive.

If the diskette drive in your administration client is not named /dev/fd0, replace /dev/fd0 with the name of your diskette drive by performing the following steps:

1.Insert a blank, write-enabled diskette into the diskette drive on the administration client system. Label the diskette "System Boot Diskette 1, Data ONTAP 5.3."

2.Copy the boot diskette 1 image to the diskette using the dd command. For example,

dd if=filename of=/dev/fd0 bs=512

3.Remove the diskette from the drive and write-protect the diskette.

4.Repeat this procedure for the second system boot diskette and label it "System Boot Diskette 2, Data ONTAP 5.3."
