Installing The Files After Installing Os/2 - IBM Netfinity ServeRAID-3H Installation And User Manual

Installing the files after installing OS/2

You can use the following instructions to install the ServeRAID device driver files after installing OS/2
Warp Server.
To install the ServeRAID files after installing OS/2:
1. After you complete the OS/2 installation, insert the IBM ServeRAID Device Driver Diskette.
2. From an OS/2 window, type:
a:
where a is the letter for the diskette drive that contains the ServeRAID diskette.
3. Press Enter; then, type:
ddinstal
4. Press Enter. The OS/2 Device Driver Installation window will appear and prompt you for the source
and destination drives. The source directory shows where to insert the IBM ServeRAID Device Driver
Diskette. The destination directory shows where the program will copy the device driver files.
5. Click Install.
The program copies the following ServeRAID device driver statement to your CONFIG.SYS file:
BASEDEV=IPSRAID.ADD
The program copies the IPSRAID.ADD ServeRAID device driver to the OS/2 subdirectory on your
hard disk.
6. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and verify that there is only one copy of the line BASEDEV=IPSRAID.ADD.
Notes:
a. If you have more than one ServeRAID or SCSI adapter in your system, make sure that the
BASEDEV statement for the adapter or controller controlling the startup (boot) device appears first
in the CONFIG.SYS file before the BASEDEV statements for other ServeRAID or SCSI adapters.
b. After you install any service packs, check the path for the IPSRAID.ADD device driver and verify
that the correct device driver is installed.
7. Restart the server.
Note: When booting OS/2 after installing the new ServeRAID device driver, you might receive the
following messages:
Initializing Raid SCSI Subsystem.
Unable to allocate IRQ resources.
RMCreate Device Adapter failure.
RMCreate Device (disk) failure.
RMCreate Device (disk) failure.
RMCreate Device (disk) failure.
RMCreate Device (disk) failure.
If you receive these messages, install an updated RESOURCE.SYS file that is available from
the OS/2 Device Driver Pak On-Line Web site at the following address:
http://service.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/index.htm
At this Web site, follow these steps to obtain the updated RESOURCE.SYS file:
Scroll down to the bottom and click Yes, I agree. Show the Device Category list.
Scroll down and select OS/2 Component Updates from the list.
Select OS/2 Base Device Driver Updates.
