PC Server 704 - Installing SCO (8650-7AX, 6MM)
Applicable to: World-Wide
PC Server 704
Array
Systems Supported
8650-7AX (2 x 166Mhz ppro)
8650-6MM (200Mhz ppro)
Architecture
EISA/PCI
Drive Interface
IBM PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Raid adapter (Mylex chip-set)
IBM ServeRaid adapter (IBM PowerPC chip-set)
Pre-install procedures
Boot to the SCU diskette (v3.4 or v3.5), select option 3, select system board settings, and verify that the MP Spec is set to 1.1.
Go back to previous menu and select each scsi adapter, press F6 to edit resources and verify that each adapter has a unique IRQ.
It is recommended that the logical drives in the array be initialized and synchronized before loading any operating system. It is also recommended that the IBM PC Server 704 BIOS be at 1.00.07 or higher, and that the SCU (configuration utility) diskette be at version 3.5 or higher.
OpenServer v5.00 and v5.0.2
For the IBM PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Raid adapter:
If the IBM PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide adapter SCO support diskette that ships with the system is not available, obtain the file scordv50.exe from the IBM bbs. This file is a self-extracting file (under DOS or OS/2) that will create a diskette containing the mdac BTLD which supports the IBM PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Raid adapter running SCO Open Server v5.0x. scordv50.exe can be located on the IBM bbs (919-517-0001), anonymous ftp (ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/pc_servers/scordv50.exe), and the World Wide Web (http://www.pc.ibm.com/searchfiles.html).
For the IBM ServeRaid adapter:
Obtain the IBM PC ServeRAID Adapter Support diskette for SCO that ships with the system if it is not available. This self-extracting file (under DOS or OS/2) will create the ipsraid BTLD diskette which supports the IBM ServeRaid adapter. This files is also located 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.
Note: This driver does NOT work with SCO OpenServer v5.0.4. A new driver, which will work with v5.00, v5.0.2 and v5.0.4, will be released soon.
Insert the SCO Open Server BOOT diskette into the floppy drive and power on the system.
SCSI CDROM Installation (8650-7AX)
Using the IBM PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Raid adapter:
For v5.00 and v5.0.2, type the following at the BOOT: prompt: restart ahslink=mdac <Enter>.
For v5.0.4, simply press <Enter> at the BOOT: prompt. No BTLD is required.
Using the IBM ServeRaid adapter:
For v5.00 and v5.0.2, type the following at the BOOT: prompt: restart ahslink=ipsraid <Enter>.
ATAPI CDROM Installation (8650-6MM):
Using the IBM PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Raid adapter:
For v5.00, type the following at the BOOT: prompt: restart ahslink="ATAPI mdac" Srom=wd(0,1,0,0) where x = scsi-ID of device. Srom = cdrom.
Insert the ATAPI BTLD diskette that ships with the media when prompted. Press <R> to replace the wd driver.
For v5.0.2, type the following at the BOOT: prompt: restart link=mdac Srom=wd(0,1,0,0) where x = scsi-ID of device. Srom = cdrom.
The ATAPI BTLD (new "wd" driver) is already included in OpenServer v5.0.2 and v5.0.4.
For v5.0.4, simply press <Enter> at the BOOT: prompt. No BTLD or special bootstring is required.
Using the IBM ServeRaid adapter
For v5.00, type the following at the BOOT: prompt: restart ahslink="ATAPI ipsraid" Srom=wd(0,1,0,0)
Insert the ATAPI BTLD diskette that ships with the media when prompted. Press <R> to replace the wd driver.
For v5.0.2, type the following at the BOOT: prompt: restart link=ipsraid Srom=wd(0,1,0,0) where x = scsi-ID of device. Srom = cdrom.
The ATAPI BTLD (new "wd" driver) is already included in OpenServer v5.0.2 and v5.0.4.
The fields for the ATAPI CDROM are: Srom=wd(c,d,l,b)
primary (0) or secondary (1) IDE/EIDE controller
master (0) or slave (1) device
LUN of device (always 0 with ATAPI or wd driver)
BUS of device (always 0 with ATAPI or wd driver)
If your CDROM is setup differently, change the Srom fields as necessary.
Insert the mdac or ipsraid BTLD diskette when prompted. Select <R> to replace the mdac driver when prompted.
At the media selection, select the option (bus, scsi-id, etc) for your system and continue with the installation. If using the ATAPI cdrom, be sure to select "wd" or "ATAPI" for the host adapter.
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 after installation).
It is recommended to select "defered" for the network adapter until the Advanced Hardware Supplement for the operating system can be applied. Click here -> 
to view the SCO OpenServer Supplements section. This supplement contains updated network drivers and patches. The Advanced Hardware Supplement is already included in SCO OpenServer v5.0.4.
When loading the mdac BTLD, the following message may occur while files are being copied from the CD: "Extracting BTLD distribution for mdac ... /etc/uadmin getdev b mdac: No such device (error 19)." This requires no user input and may be ignored.
When loading the ipsraid, 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" (note: there may be many lines of this displayed). Simply press <Enter> to continue with the installation when prompted.
The rest of the installation should proceed normally.
When the Safe to Power Off message is displayed, remove the any diskette from the floppy drive and press <Enter> to restart the system.
At the BOOT: prompt, simply press <Enter> to continue the boot process.
At the prompt to press <Ctrl + D> to proceed with normal startup, enter the ROOT password to boot into system maintenance mode.
For OpenServer v5.00 and v5.0.2:
Install Release Supplement D, Networking Supplement 1.0.0, and Advanced Hardware Supplement 5.2. Click here -> to view the SCO OpenServer Supplements section. 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.
