2.4.3.1 Installing RAID Drivers Using XPReburn Script
The Sun Ultra 20 Workstation Supplemental CD (705-1364) contains a script that
allows you to create a new Windows XP CD with the needed RAID drivers. After the
new CD is created, you can boot the CD and install Windows XP normally. This new
CD automatically installs the drivers, making it unnecessary to use a USB diskette
drive and to install the NVRAID drivers.
For specific and current information on the XpReburn script, see the description at
the top of the script which is located in /drivers/utilities/XpReburn on
Supplemental CD (705-1364-10) or later.
To install Windows XP using a RAID configuration, you need the following:
■A system running Solaris Operating System for x86 Systems, Solaris Operating
System (SPARC® Platform Edition), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 or 4, or SUSE
Linux Enterprise System (SLES) 9
■Access to a CD burner
■A blank CD-R or CD-RW
■A Windows XP Professional CD (retail media only—not an OEM version)
■A Sun Ultra 20 Workstation Supplemental CD
To create a Windows XP CD with the Sun Ultra 20 Workstation drivers:
1. On a Solaris x86, Solaris OS (SPARC Platform Edition), or Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 3 or 4, or SLES 9 system, insert the Sun Ultra 20 Workstation Supplemental
CD.
2. As superuser, create a temporary directory with at least 1.2 GB of space. For
example:
3. Copy the XpReburn_version.zip file to that directory.
Where version is the current version of XpReburn.
For example:
4. Eject the Supplemental CD and insert your retail Windows XP 32 Professional
CD.
