Installation Scenario Using Compaq
SmartStart
You can choose either of the following methods to install your UnixWare 7.1 System.
Automatic installation using the Compaq SmartStart for Servers integration tool
Manual installation using only the printed SCO UnixWare 7.1 Installation Guide available
with the Installation CD
Note: The custom utility used in SCO OpenSever for installation of software is not available on
UnixWare 7.1.
This Integration Note details the migration process using SmartStart for Servers (Assisted
Integration) that assists you in the setup, configuration, and installation of your UnixWare 7.1
system. More specifically, the major benefits of SmartStart include the following:
Auto-detects and configures the Compaq server hardware and options
Ensures installation of the correct Compaq drivers
Provides a SmartStart Interview that highlights and enables configuration of powerful
Compaq server features, such as Automatic Server Recovery (ASR)
A Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD ships with each Compaq server. As each version
of SmartStart is released, it supports the current version of SCO UnixWare. It also knows how to
handle any previous version. If you obtain a later release of a SCO OS, you probably need to get
a newer version of SmartStart.
Table 7 lists the available software packages on the SmartStart CD that pertain to a SCO UNIX
