Migrating from SCO OpenServer™ 5.0.5 to UnixWare® 7.1 Using Compaq SmartStart v4.23
Note: Compaq will also be releasing the Online Array Configuration Utility for SCO in the near
future.
New releases of drivers and utilities flow through the various distribution channels at different
rates; the version of a driver downloaded from one source may be older than one from a different
source––even from the most recent EFS.
The drivers in one version may
even be incompatible with the
drivers in the next release.

Be sure to also read any documentation that accompanies each driver or utility to ensure its
compatibility with your new UnixWare 7.1 OS. The day before you install UnixWare 7.1, you
should also checkout the UnixWare 7.1 Runtime Release Notes at

notes.

? ? ? ? Create EFS Diskettes

If you have verified that the latest drivers and utilities reside on the web, download the files to a
Windows-based system and create four diskettes: Compaq HBA, Compaq EFS #1, Compaq EFS
#2, and Compaq Documentation. Read the text file instructions that accompany the software and
follow the instruction guidelines. If the EFS on the SmartStart and Support Software CD) is the
most recent, you will create these diskettes during the installation process in Step 13.

? ? ? ? Check for the Latest OS Patches and Supplements

There are a number of OS patches, additional features added, and newer versions of other features
that are contained in the SCO Release Supplement. In these supplements, there are also a number
of corrections to the UnixWare 7 Release Notes that Compaq considers necessary for proper
operation of UnixWare 7.1 on Compaq servers. Release supplements can be found on the SCO
