Introduction
This document presents very important information that you need to install SCO UNIX.
The first section of this document is a list of helpful tips on NOS installation, the second
section is a step-by-step installation guide.
NOTE: Hewlett-Packard has more than one Disk Array Controller (DAC) for the
NetServer product family. In this document the term "HP Disk Array" refers to
the EISA and PCI Disk Array Controller models C3609A and C3610A,
respectively. The term "HP NetRAID" refers to the HP NetRAID and NetRAID-
1 PCI Adapters models D4943A and D4992A, respectively. The term "HP
NetRAID 1Si refers to model number D2140A. The term "HP NetRAID 3Si"
refers to model number D5955A. The term "HP Embedded RAID" refers to the
built in RAID controller on the HP NetServer LH 3 and LH 4.
The HP NetServer E 30 does not support either DAC.
The HP NetServer E 40 , E 45 and E 50 support the HP NetRAID DACs only.
The HP NetServer E 60 only the HP NetRAID 1Si and HP NetRAID 3Si.
SCO MPX 3.0 does not work correctly on multiprocessor systems using the Intel
Pentium Pro, Pentium II or Pentium III processor (e.g. the NetServer LC II, LC 3,
LD Pro, LH Pro, LH II, LH 3, LH 4, LPr, LX Pro, LXe Pro, LXr Pro and LXr
8000).
SCO Open DeskTop 3.0, OpenServer 3.0, and MPX 3.0 are not supported on the
NetServer LC 3, LH 3, LH 4, LXr 8000, and LXr8500.
SCO OpenServer 5.0.x is supported on the NetServer E60, E 800 LPr, LC2000,
LC3, LH3, LH3000, LH4, LXr 8000 and LXr8500

Section 3. On-Line Information and Software Sources Section 1. General Tips Introduction The following subsections discuss problems that you may encounter when installing SCO UNIX 3.2v4.2, Open Desktop (ODT) 3.0, OpenServer 3.0, MPX 3.0, and OpenServer 5.0.x. SCO UNIX installation procedures include installing SCO UNIX files, loading all required drivers (including BTLD (Boot Time Loadable Driver) packages), and linking information to the kernel. -
Page 4: Installation Media
During SCO UNIX installation, access to the Utility Partition built by the Configuration Assistant is disabled. Select "Skip" if Configuration Assistant asks you to build the Utility Partition. Installation Media The following installation media is required in addition to the main product CD-ROM or tape to install SCO UNIX. - Page 5 Be sure to leave enough space in your root file system for installing future applications. Remember that any application files that you place in your /u file system reduce the space left for user data files. A scratch division is an area that FSCK (file system check) uses to record data in case of a problem.
- Page 6 BTLD Tips The HP NetServers use the BTLD for the internal SCSI controllers. The BTLD is a driver that can be link-edited into the UNIX system kernel during the booting process. The link-editing is done by boot (HW) after the driver is loaded into memory, but before the kernel is started.

Either some piece of hardware is bad or there is a serious hardware configuration error. Fix this problem before trying to install SCO OpenServer. When booting off the N1 diskette, always use the link command to link the appropriate SCSI driver into the system (alad for the E 30, E 40, E 45, E 50, E 60, LC II, LC 3, LD, LH, LS, or LX;...

The System Hangs without any Error Messages This is probably a SCSI bus problem. Check the SCSI setup for errors. Make sure all the SCSI devices are seen on boot up. One symptom of a SCSI bus termination error is that some devices are not seen on boot up. - Page 10 Configuration Utility, or the AIC SCSI BIOS utility <Ctrl>-A, or <Ctrl>-C for Symbios BIOS utility to set this parameter.) MPS Table Setting On NetServer LS and LX for SCO MPX For the HP NetServer LS and LX with multiprocessors, you must set the MPS configuration parameter to the correct MPS Table setting.
- Page 11 Booting from the Embedded SCSI Controller The system boots from the drive with the lowest SCSI address (0--zero) on the embedded SCSI host bus adapter. On the NetServer LD, LH and LS disk arrays, the upper middle drive slot has SCSI ID 0. On the NetServer LX, check the SCSI configuration label to see how your disk slots are numbered.
- Page 12 10. Reboot your system Installing Multiple NICs When you are installing more than one NIC in your system you need to install and configure one NIC at a time. Put the first NIC in the system, run "netconfig" to configure the card, turn off your system, put the second NIC in the system, and then run "netconfig"...
- Page 13 IDE Translation Mode 1. Run the EISA Configuration Utility on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM. 2. Go to the IDE configuration section. 3. Highlight the IDE Translation Mode and change it to Standard CHS, unless you are using the new N1 diskette described above. Installation Instructions The following instructions help you to install SCO UNIX 3.2.4.2, Open Desktop (ODT) 3.0, OpenServer 3.0, Enterprise System 3.0, and MPX 3.0 on your HP NetServer system.

- Page 15 Installing SCO OpenServer 5.0.x Large IDE Disk Drives and IDE/ATAPI CD-ROMs (on E30, E 40, E 45, E 50, E 60, LC II, LC 3, LH 3, LH 4 and LPr) For OpenServer 5.0.0 and 5.0.2 there is a problem using IDE disk drives larger than 2 GB.
- Page 16 NOTE: For OpenServer 5.0.0 you must type “ahslink” instead of “link”. OpenServer 5.0.2 (and later) use “link”. A. If your CD-ROM or tape, and boot disk are connected to the internal embedded SCSI controller on NetServer models that use either the alad or arad driver (see table earlier in this document), press Enter or type “restart”.
- Page 17 to edit the “mscsi” file, relink the kernel, and reboot. OpenServer 5.0.4 requires a new N0 boot diskette from patch OSS463A. At the “Boot” prompt type: restart Sdsk=alad(1,0,0,0) Srom=alad(0,0,5,0) D. For the HP NetServer E 30, E 40, E 45, E 50, E 60, LC II, LC 3 or LH 3 (where an IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM is used) type: For OpenServer 5.0.0 and 5.0.2 use SCO SLS OSS451B (or later) to get the wd driver:...
- Page 18 Srom=alad(0,0,5,0) for the NetServer E 30, E 40, E 45, E 50, LC II, LC 3 or LH 3 running OpenServer 5.0.0 or 5.0.2 type: restart link=“amird wd” Sdsk=amird(0,0,0,0) Srom=wd(1,0,0,0) for the NetServer E 30, E 40, E 45, E 50, LC II, LC 3 or LH 3 running OpenServer 5.0.4 type: restart link=amird Sdsk=amird(0,0,0,0) Srom=wd(1,0,0,0)
- Page 19 Apply SCO SLS OSS449F Network Performance Patch For OpenServer 5.0.0, 5.0.2, and 5.0.4, you will need to install SCO’s Support Level Supplement (SLS) OSS449F to correct many known problems with TCP/IP, NFS, and Unix components of SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.0, 5.0.2, and 5.0.4, and SCO Internet FastStart Release 1.0.0 and 1.1.0.
