NetWare 4.11 – Boot Controller
This section describes how to install a SmartRAID VI controller as a boot
device for NetWare 4.11 servers.
NOTE
Part of this procedure requires that you have enough free space
on your C: drive to hold the contents of the NetWare
CD-ROM.
1.
Download the NW411.ZIP file from the DPT Technical Support
web site. Extract the files to a floppy disk.
2.
Install the DPT controller as the primary controller and attach
the disk drives. If other I/O controllers are present, ensure that
the SmartRAID VI boot controller is in a lower number PCI slot
than the other controllers.
3.
Install and configure a secondary controller (SCSI or IDE) for the
CD-ROM drive and any other devices such as a tape drive.
4.
Boot the system and use SMOR to create any required disk
arrays. Press Ctrl+D during boot to start SMOR.
5.
Create a 750MB DOS partition on the logical storage unit (drive
or array group) with the lowest SCSI ID.
6.
Boot the system to DOS from the partition created in step 5.
Ensure that you load the required CD-ROM drivers.
7.
Insert the NetWare 4.11 release CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
Insert the diskette you created and run DPT411.BAT. This will
copy the necessary files to the C: drive.
8.
Run INSTALL.BAT from C:\.
9.
When asked to choose a disk driver select I2OPCI.NLM. Enter the
slot number where the controller is installed and press F10.
10. Select Save parameters and load driver.
11. Choose Yes to select another driver.
12. Select BKSTROSM.HAM. Enter the slot number where the
controller is installed and press F10.
13. Select Save parameters and load driver.
14. Install any additional drivers and continue the installation.
15. Ensure that BKSTROSM.HAM is listed after I2OPCI.NLM in your
STARTUP .NCF file.
Continue with the NetWare installation according to the Novell
documentation.
