Software Installation

Custom, high performance, Ultra2 SCSI device drivers for Sun Solaris SPARC™ based platforms, including Versions 2.6 and 7.0 are available from IntraServer, and are included with your adapter.

Detailed instructions for software installation for Sun Solaris are included in this section.

The Ethernet ports on the card are supported under the qfe Ethernet driver, which is resident on the Solaris 2.6 and later software distribution media.

The video section of the card is based on ATI’s RAGE IIC, and is supported under the m64 driver on the Solaris 2.6 and later software distribution media.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that you make a backup of your system disk before installing any software. Failure to back up all files on your system may result in unrecoverable loss of data.

Installation for Sun™ SPARC™ Solaris™ Ultra2 SCSI Options (ITI-8200 Series)

IntraServer’s ITI-8000 Series adapters offer the highest possible performance on Sun™ Solaris™ systems. IntraServer’s Ultra2 SCSI drivers, (ITSPS and ITHPS) are optimized for low CPU overhead and high I/O throughput, making use of IntraServer’s single interrupt scripts.

IntraServer’s Ultra2 SCSI adapters have built in Fcode, designed to operate in Sun’s OpenBoot environment, allowing Ultra2 SCSI devices to be available to the OpenBoot (ok) prompt.

This chapter describes the features and use of the IntraServer Device Drivers for the Solaris Operating system 2.6 and 7.0
