Multiple Cards Configuration Process

You can install multiple SunPCi III cards into an Sun server or Sun system. To configure multiple cards, follow this sequence:

1.Remove any previous versions of SunPCi cards (version 1.x or 2.x).

2.Remove any previous version of SunPCi software.

3.Install all the SunPCi III cards you plan to use.

4.Install the SunPCi III 3.2.1 software on your system.

5.Configure one card and its emulated drive software completely.

6.Configure the rest of your SunPCi III cards.

See the SunPCi III Quick Start Installation Guide for complete instructions.

Caution – SunPCi III cards cannot coexist with earlier SunPCi cards. Your Sun server or Sun system can only accommodate the same version of SunPCi cards.

You also need to clearly identify configuration files and cards before finalizing your software configuration and starting the software. You should have done this when installing the cards.
