Installing Mylex Disk Array Controller Tape Drivers

4.Relink the kernel:

#cd /etc/conf/cf.d

#./link_unix

5.Reboot the system.

6.Make sure you are in single-user mode (init 1), then install the Mylex mdac drivers by running the installpkg utility. Insert the “Software Kit SCO OpenServer Driver diskette.”

#init 1

#installpkg

7.When the message prompt asks for a package name, type mdac.

Please enter the names of the packages you wish to install, or q to quit: mdac

8.Rebuild SCO UNIX kernel.

#cd /etc/conf/cf.d

#./link_unix

9.Reboot the system to invoke the new kernel.

10.Run mkdev hd to configure the hard disks (system drives) on the controller.

• Enter mdac for package name

• Select the target IDs and LUN numbers until all controllers and system drives are configured (refer to Table 5-1).

• Select Y to relink kernel

11.Reboot the system to invoke the new kernel. Run mkdev hd again to prepare storage space for the UNIX filesystem. Be sure to enter the same numbers entered in Step 10 above for each system drive. A partition table will be displayed and you will be prompted to enter the filesystem size in cylinders. For controller drive mapping, 1 cyl = 2MB.
