Installing Mylex Disk Array Controller Tape Drivers
The tape drive may be placed on any channel. However, if another device with the same SCSI ID is present on a lower channel, the tape may not function properly.
Mylex Disk Array Controller CD-ROM Drivers
The driver that provides support for CD-ROM devices also gets installed as a part of the standard controller SCO UNIX driver installation. It is recommended that a CD-ROM drive installed on any controller channel be set to SCSI ID 5.
Use the View/Update Configuration option of the Mylex Disk Array Controller Configuration Utility to configure the CD-ROM. Save the new configuration before trying to use the CD-ROM under SCO UNIX.
To install UNIX from a CD-ROM drive, follow the standard SCO UNIX OpenServer installation instructions for CD-ROM. A screen will prompt you for the type of installation being performed. You can choose either TAPE (default), or CD-ROM, etc. From here you can select the SCSI option as described in the SCO UNIX documentation.
If UNIX was not installed from CD-ROM, then a CD-ROM drive may be configured using the mkdev cdrom command. The LUN of this device should always be set to 0.
ACD-ROM drive may be placed on any channel. However, if another non- disk device with the same ID is present on a lower channel, only the non- disk device on the lower channel will be accessible.
