3.0 Quick installation instructions for experienced users
1. Verify that you are at the latest level of BIOS by checking the IBM web/ftp/bbs site. Version 1.14 is the latest level at the time that this document was published. Flash the BIOS if necessary (refer to section 4.1 Setting up the BIOS).
2. Insert the SCO OpenServer startup diskette into the diskette drive and turn on the server.
3. At the startup (boot) prompt, press Enter. Follow the window instructions that will guide you through the installation and note the following.
At the Identifying the Installation Media Device window, make sure that IDE CD-ROM is highlighted as the media device to be used (use the Spacebar for options). The IDE Controller should be secondary, and the master or slave selection should be master.
4.0 Detailed installation instructions
1. If you are using the optional IBM ServeRAID Adapter as your startup controller or as a secondary SCSI controller, see Appendix A: Notes for ServeRAID Adapter Users and Appendix B: Installation Procedure for ServeRAID Adapter Users for additional installation notes and procedures.
2. Within the Netfinity 3000 Configuration/Setup Utility program, make the following modifications:
Under Devices and I/O Ports -> Ethernet Setup: Network Boot Disabled
Note: Make sure your server has an appropriate level of system Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) installed prior to modifying the configuration settings.
3. The CD-ROM drive that is shipped with the base system is integrated drive electronics (IDE) based. By default, it resides on the secondary IDE controller as the master device.
4. The server has a single 10/100 Ethernet controller built into the system board. The Ethernet controller will not be automatically identified by SCO OpenServer v5.0.4. When configuring the network adapter, you will need to choose the Manually select option. The Manually select option will present a list of network adapters. Choose EtherExpress PRO/100B LAN Adapter from the list and proceed as normal.
5. The release supplement for SCO OpenServer v5.0.4 is located on the SCO ftp/BBS (ftp.sco.com, anonymous ftp) in the /Supplements/rs504c subdirectory. Apply this supplement after the installation of SCO OpenServer v5.0.4.
The /Supplements/rs504c subdirectory contains the following files:
- VOL.000.000, VOL.001.000, VOL.002.000, VOL.003.000 --- The supplement binaries.
Refer to rs504c.doc.english for details.
Note: These file names must be in upper case to install!
- rs504c.fixlist --- Text file containing a description of the fixes/patches.
- rs504c.doc.english --- Text file containing complete description of the release supplement, including
instructions for installing or removing it. This document is also available in French and German.
4.1 Setting up the BIOS
Note: Follow the on-screen directions with the following disk operations:
Start (boot) using the BIOS upgrade diskette (listed in section 1.0) and update (flash) the system.
4.2 Installing SCO OpenServer v5.0.4
1. Insert the SCO OpenServer startup diskette into the diskette drive and turn on the server.
2. At the startup (boot) prompt, press Enter. Follow the window instructions that will guide you through the installation and note the following.
Defaults may be taken unless specified otherwise.
At the Identifying the Installation Media Device window, make sure that IDE CD-ROM is highlighted as the media device to be used (use the Spacebar for options). The IDE Controller should be secondary and the master or slave selection should be master.
Use the default U.S. English for all U.S. keyboard/language environments.
At the Configuring the basic system window, type the System/Domain Names, Security Profile, and Time Zones as appropriate for your site. Consult your local system administrator for details.
At the Configuring optional software window, select deferred for the Network Card using the Spacebar for choices. The network configuration manager or netconfig can be run after the installation is complete to configure any installed network adapters and protocols; be sure to check the SCO bulletin board system (BBS) or Web site for the latest Network Interface Card (NIC) drivers and/or release supplements that might be required (that is, release supplement 504c).
For Video, select IBM VGA to install. If necessary, this can be changed, depending on the video adapter used, through the video configuration manager after installation. Check the SCO BBS or Web site for the latest video drivers available. Currently, there is no support other than for VGA for the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) video adapter included with the Netfinity 3000 Server.
For Mouse, select Low Resolution Keyboard Mouse (two-button mouse) or High Resolution Keyboard Mouse (three-button mouse) depending on the type of mouse installed.
All other installation components (choosing software, setting up your startup hard disk drive/file systems, root passwords, and so on) are dependent upon the specifications of your site. Consult your local system administrator for details.
3. After the installation is complete, remove any diskettes or other media; then, press Enter to restart the server.
4. You will receive a Virus Warning after you restart the server; this is normal. Select Change is expected.
5. At the startup (boot) prompt, press Enter.
Appendix A: Notes for ServeRAID Adapter users
The following notes are applicable if the IBM ServeRAID Adapter is being used, either as the startup controller or as a primary SCSI controller.
All ServeRAID logical array drives must be initialized and synchronized before installing any operating system.
Logical drives residing on the first ServeRAID adapter must be referenced via the following Sdsk boot string option.
- For ServeRAID logical drive 0, use ServeRAID boot string option - Sdsk=ips(0,0,0,0)
- For ServeRAID logical drive 1, use ServeRAID boot string option - Sdsk=ips(0,0,1,0)
- For ServeRAID logical drive 2, use ServeRAID boot string option - Sdsk=ips(0,0,2,0)
In general, the Sdsk option is specified via the boot string for a ServeRAID adapter, as follows.
Sdsk=ips (adapter number, bus number, SCSI ID number, SCSI logical unit number (LUN))
Note: ServeRAID logical drives always reside on bus 0.
When both the ServeRAID and integrated SCSI controllers are used, the ServeRAID controller will default to the startup controller if logical drives are defined.
If a ServeRAID adapter is in the server, then you MUST also specify the Srom option in the boot string. When a ServeRAID adapter is in the server, the Srom option is specified via the boot string, as follows:
Srom=wd(w,x,y,z)
Where w = 0 -> Primary IDE controller
w = 1 -> Secondary IDE controller
x = 0 -> Master IDE device
x = 1 -> Slave IDE device
y and z -> always 0
By default, the CD-ROM drive that is shipped with the base system is configured to be on the secondary IDE controller as the master device. The corresponding Srom option for the boot string is:
Srom=wd(1,0,0,0)
Appendix B: Installation procedure for ServeRAID Adapter users
Use the following procedure ONLY if the IBM ServeRAID Adapter is being used, either as the startup controller or as a secondary SCSI controller. The following procedure assumes that the ServeRAID logical drive have already been configured.
1. Obtain the file 01K7634.EXE if the IBM ServeRAID Adapter Support diskette for SCO is not available. This self-extracting file (under DOS or OS/2) will create the latest ipsraid boot time loadable driver (BTLD) diskette that supports the IBM ServeRAID Adapter. This file can be located on the IBM BBS, anonymous ftp, and the World Wide Web by a search using the keyword serveraid.
2. Also, obtain the latest ServeRAID Configuration diskette 01K7632.EXE for logical drive configuration, and the ServeRAID Supplemental diskette 01K7629.EXE for SCO OpenServer RAID/array monitoring utilities.
3. Insert the SCO OpenServer startup diskette into the diskette drive and turn on the server.
4. Use the following boot string to install the ServeRAID controller as your startup controller:
Type the following at the startup prompt and press Enter:
restart link="ipsraid" Sdsk=ips(0,0,y,0) Srom=wd(1,0,0,0)
where y = the logical drive number as defined by the ServeRAID
configuration (typically y will be 0).
5. Insert the ipsraid BTLD diskette when prompted; then, press Enter.
6. The remaining installation steps are not dependent on any additional ServeRAID configuration information. The generic installation process should be followed for the remainder of the installation. See 4.2 Installing SCO OpenServer v5.0.4 for the remaining steps.
Note: While the operating system is being installed on the ServeRAID controller, the following two messages might appear while files are being copied from the compact disc (CD):
o Extracting BTLD distribution for ipsraid ... /etc/uadmin getdev ips: No such device (error 19)
This requires no user input and can be ignored.
o dynamic linker: dlvr_audit: Cannot open /dev/zero for file /lib/libprot.so.1
This message might be displayed many times. This can also be ignored. Simply press Enter to continue with the installation when prompted.
7. After the installation is complete, remove any diskettes or other media; then, press Enter to restart the server.
