Installing Raid Drivers Using The Xpreburn Script - Sun Microsystems Ultra 40 M2 Operating System Installation Manual

Installing RAID Drivers Using the XPReburn Script

The Sun Ultra 40 M2 Workstation Tools and Drivers CD contains a script that
enables you to create a new Windows XP CD with the needed RAID drivers. After
the new CD is created, you can boot the CD and install Windows XP normally. This
new CD automatically installs the drivers, making it unnecessary to use a USB
diskette drive and to install the NVRAID drivers.
For specific and current information about the XpReburn script, see the description
at the top of the script which is located in /drivers/utilities/XpReburn on the
Tools and Drivers CD.

A system running Solaris Operating System for x86 Systems, Red Hat Enterprise
■
Linux 3 or 4, or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLED 10).
