PC Server 330 - Installing SCO (8640-ESS)
Applicable to: World-Wide
PC Server 330
Array
Systems Supported
8640-ESS
Architecture
EISA/PCI
Drive Interface
IBM ServeRAID adapter (IBM PowerPC chip-set)
It is recommended that all logical array drives be initialized and synchronized before loading any operating system. For more information on this topic see Using IBM RAID Adapters to Avoid Data Loss.
Important note about the IBM ServeRAID adapter:
The IBM ServeRAID adapter does not provide driver support for Unix 3.2 v4.2x and OpenDesktop/Server v3.0. If a RAID adapter is required with these versions, use the IBM PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide RAID adapter (Mylex 960P chip-set) and follow the instructions in the PC Server 320, 520 Array section of PCServer320/520 - Installing SCO on Micro Channel machines.
Software Requirements
Downloadable files are available on the IBM BBS (919-517-0001), anonymous ftp ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/pc_servers/, and the World Wide Web http://www.pc.ibm.com/searchfiles.html.
SCO OpenServer
1. Insert the BOOT diskette and power on the system.
Version 5.00
2a. Type the following at the BOOT: prompt: restart ahslink=ipsraid and press Enter.
Version 5.02
2b. Type the following at the BOOT: prompt: restart link=ipsraid and press Enter.
3. When prompted, insert the ipsraid BTLD into the floppy drive and press Enter.
4. At the media selection, select the option (bus, scsi-id, etc) for your system and continue with the installation. If the media device is attached to the ServeRAID adapter, you must specify the adapter (ips) and the bus/channel the media device is attached to (1, 2, or 3). Boot to your ServeRAID configuration diskette if you are unsure.
5. For mouse, select Low Resolution Keyboard Mouse (two button mouse). For video, it is recommended to select IBM VGA to install (this can be changed as necessary through scoadmin or the video configuration manager after installation).
6. It is recommended that you select deferred for the network adapter until the Advanced Hardware Supplement for the operating system can be applied. This supplement contains updated network drivers and patches. The Advanced Hardware Supplement is already included in SCO OpenServer v5.0.4.
7. When loading the ipsraid BTLD, the following two messages may occur while files are being copied from the CD:
Extracting BTLD distribution for ipsraid ... /etc/uadmin getdev b ips: No such device (error 19) This requires no user input and may be ignored. dynamic linker: dlvr_audit: Cannot open /dev/zero for file /lib/libprot.so.1 (note: there may be many lines of this displayed) Press Enter to continue with the installation when prompted.
8. The rest of the installation should proceed normally. When the installation is complete and the Safe to Power Off message is displayed, remove any diskettes from the floppy drive and press Enter to reboot.
For OpenServer v5.00 and v5.0.2
Install Release Supplement D, Networking Supplement 1.0.0, and Advanced Hardware Supplement 5.2 of the SCO OpenServer Supplements. Install any other supplements as necessary. When complete, the Unix kernel will be re-linked. Shutdown and restart the system for the changes to take affect.
