Installing UnixWare on a RAID Volume

Follow the required procedure below to install Intel Integrated RAID.

1Create a UnixWare 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 “UnixWare Installation”. A command window then appears. Insert a blank high-density diskette in drive A: and press Enter to create the UnixWare 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 UnixWare Installation Diskette.

2Insert UnixWare 7.1 Volume: 1 of 2 diskette and reboot. Install the OS using the install instruction provided in UnixWare 7 Installation Guide Manual. UnixWare will prompt you to install Host Bus Adapter diskette. At that time insert the UnixWare Installation Diskette when prompted.

✏NOTE

During the installation of UnixWare, you will be prompted to install the Network Information Services (NIS) package. By default the installation will configure your system as an NIS client. See your system administrator for configuration of the NIS services.

After the installation, files such as /etc/inet/inetd.conf are supposed to be distributed to the client via NIS. If, however, you don't have a master NIS server on the network, the client will be unable to retrieve its copy of this (and other) file(s). Depending on the particular service being requested, fulfilling the request may take a long time, or may fail completely.

If you do not plan on using NIS, defer installation of NIS during the installation by pressing F8 on the NIS configuration screen. If you decide at a later time to install NIS, you can do so using the pkgadd(1) command.

3Install the Netscape browser. The Netscape browser is provided in the SCO UnixWare CD-ROM Disk 2 of 3.
