Installing UnixWare on a RAID Volume

Follow the required procedure below to install Intel Integrated RAID.

✏NOTE

When installing UnixWare, create only one RAID volume on which the operating system is to be installed.

1Create a SRCU31L UnixWare installation disk (HBA 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 appears. Insert a blank high-density diskette in drive A: and press Enter to create the UnixWare Installation Disk. Alternatively the CD-ROM can be inserted into a different system running Windows 95, 98 or NT. The CD-ROM’s auto-runfeature will bring up a menu that will allow creation of the UnixWare Installation Disk. If more than one RAID volume is required, complete this installation and then use Storage Console to create multiple volumes.

CAUTION

Insert the SRCU31L UnixWare installation disk 1 (of 2 disks) 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 created in Step 1.

2Use only the version of the SRCU31L UnixWare installation disk (HBA disk) that is provided on the CD or available from the Intel Web site for installation of this adapter. Do not use a HBA disk available from the vendor to install this product.

✏NOTE

During the installation of UnixWare, you will be prompted to install the Network Information Services (NIS) package.

When prompted defer the installation of NIS 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.

4After completing the UnixWare installation insert the Intel Server RAID Controller U3-1L LOW PROFILE CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive and mount the CD-ROM.

a.Create a directory to mount the file. For example, type mkdir cdfiles at the prompt.

b.Mount the CD-ROM to the folder by typing:

mount -F cdfs -r /dev/cdrom/cdrom1/cdfiles
