Installing Device Drivers For Openserver; Adding Ipsraid Btld At Startup Time - IBM Netfinity ServeRAID-3H Installation And User Manual

Select RESOURCE.SYS update; pre-requisite for updated IBM RAID Driver.
Follow the instructions at the Web site for installing the RESOURCE.SYS update after you
have installed OS/2.

Installing device drivers for OpenServer

Before you begin the installation, review the following information:
You must install logical drives as Bus Number 0 when using the MKDEV program, regardless of the
channel that the physical drives are on.
You must install a nondisk device, such as a CD-ROM or tape drive, as Bus Number 1, 2, or 3 relative
to the channel to which it is attached. External Channel 1 connector is Bus Number 1, external
Channel 2 connector is Bus Number 2, and internal Channel 3 connector is Bus Number 3.
To configure the default nondisk devices during the initial installation:
1. Redefine the default tape drive in the initial boot string. For example, to install the boot-time loadable
driver IPSRAID BTLD and redefine the tape drive, go to the BOOT prompt and type:
link Stp=ips( , 1, 2, )
The numbers in parentheses represent the host adapter number, the bus number, the SCSI ID, and
the LUN respectively.
2. When prompted for the location of the installation CD, change the bus number and SCSI ID, as
required.

Adding IPSRAID BTLD at startup time

To install the ServeRAID device driver for OpenServer 5.0.x
1. At the BOOT prompt, type:
link
2. Press Enter; then, when prompted for the name of the package, type:
ipsraid
3. Press Enter.
4. After the kernel loads but before it runs, the link program prompts you to insert the IBM ServeRAID
Device Drivers for SCO Operating Systems Diskette.
While the installation program copies the files, one or both of the following messages might appear:
Extracting BTLD distribution for ipsraid... /etc/uadmin getdev b ips: No such device
(error 19)
dynamic linker: dlvr_audit: Cannot open /dev/zero for file /lib/libprot.so.1
You can ignore the first message, no action is required. But if the second message appears, you
must press Enter when prompted to continue the installation.
5. Keep the IBM ServeRAID Device Drivers for SCO Operating Systems Diskette available. You will
need it to configure the device driver into the link kit.
For additional information about adding a boot-time loadable driver at boot time, refer to "Using Boot-Time
Loadable Drivers" in the SCO OpenServer Handbook.
