Installing An Operating System Onto A Host Drive Or Single Disk; Installation Of The Raid Software Suite For Unixware - Intel SRCU31A - Server RAID U3-1A Controller User Manual

Installing an Operating System onto a Host Drive or
Single Disk
✏
NOTE
When installing UnixWare, create only one RAID device (host drive) on which the operating system
is to be installed.
1. Create and configure one RAID device from the BIOS of Intel RAID Controller SRCU31
StorCon (accessed by pressing <Ctrl> + <G>).
2. Insert UnixWare 7.1 installation diskette 1 of 2 which was included with the OS user's manual.
Installation begins.
During the installation UnixWare prompts you to insert a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) diskette.
Insert the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 installation diskette. If you do not have the Intel
RAID Controller SRCU31 installation diskette for the operating system that you are installing,
then create it before continuing. See Chapter 2 for instructions to create this disk.
3. During the installation of UnixWare, you will be prompted to install the Network Information
Services (NIS) package. By default the installation will configure the system as an NIS client.
See the system administrator for configuration of the NIS services.
✏
NOTE
Installation of this service may take an extended period of time.
If you do not plan on using the NIS or there is not an NIS server present on the network that you
are installing this system onto, defer installation of NIS at this time by pressing <F8> at the NIS
configuration screen.
4. After completing the OS installation, proceed to the next paragraph to complete the Intel RAID
Controller SRCU31 installation.
