If you are very familiar with SCSI, hardware, and the installation process, continue with 3.0 Quick Installation Instructions for Experienced Users. If not, continue with 4.0 Detailed Installation Instructions.
3.0) Quick Installation Instructions for Experienced Users
1) Ensure that the system and RAID adapter BIOS levels are flashed to the current level. (Diskette images listed in section 1.)
2) Configure the system using the Reference Diskette (refer to section 4.3)
3) Boot to the RAID configuration utility disk and set up an array of the desired RAID level.
4) Set up two RAID logical drives in the array. The (A0) boot logical drive should be 500 megabytes or less. Another logical drive for data (A1) should be created for the rest of the array space.
5) Modify the OS2 Diskette 1 with the IBMRAID.ADD driver and remove DAC960.ADD from the CONFIG.SYS. If a trap occurs at any time during the install, the install has put back the DAC960 driver. Boot to the install diskettes, drop to a command prompt, and remove all instances before continuing.
4.0) Detailed instructions
Please follow each section carefully and in order.
4.1) Setting up Hardware
Note: Follow the on screen directions on the following disk operations:
1) Boot to the BIOS upgrade diskette (listed in section 1) and flash the system to revision 16T3C.
2) Boot to the RAID BIOS/Firmware upgrade diskette (listed in section 1) and flash the controller.
4.2) Configuring the system using the Reference Diskette
1) Insert the Reference Diskette (created from RF90954A.EXE) into the floppy drive (A:) and boot the system.
2) If an adapter configuration error (00165) occurs, the reference diskette will prompt to run automatic configuration. Say yes, and the autoconfiguration will run. Press Enter when the automatic configuration is complete. The reference diskette will then prompt to press Enter to restart the system, remove the reference diskette and press Enter. Proceed to section 4.3.
3) If no error occurs, boot to the reference diskette normally and select Set Configuration (option 4).
Note: If adapters have been added to the system, follow the on screen instructions to add the ADF (Adapter Description File) from the option diskette which came with the adapter.
4) Next, select Automatic Configuration from the Set Configuration screen.
Warning: Some adapters, notably Token Ring network adapters, may be set to default settings by the automatic configuration. You should always check the configuration settings by hand once the automatic configuration has completed.
5) When automatic configuration is complete, press Enter to return to the Set Configuration menu. Select F3 to return to the main menu. Press Enter at main menu to activate changes. Select F3 to exit, and the system will prompt you to restart. Remove the reference diskette and press Enter.
4.3) Setting up the array
IBM Microchannel Streaming RAID Adapter/A hardware setup instructions:
Detailed Instructions:
1) Ignore any errors in the RAID configuration on the initial boot of the system out of the box.
2) Boot to the RAID configuration utility disk.
3) Select 2, Start RAID Configuration Program.
4) Select 3, Create/Delete Array.
5) If an array is currently defined (any ONL drives to the right):
A) Select 3, Delete Disk Array.
B) Follow the instructions at the bottom of the screen to delete it.
6) Select 4, Create Disk Array.
A) Make all drives you desire in the array ONL with the exception of Hot Spares.
7) Select 5, Define Logical Drive:
A) Select the RAID level desired.
B) DO NOT ACCEPT FREESPACE. Change the size to 500, following the directions at the bottom of the screen.
8) Repeat the above step, with the exception of accepting the freespace.
Note: The array A should now have a logical drive (A0) of 500 Meg and logical drive (A1) with the remainder.
9) Press Esc to return to the previous menu.
10) Select 4, Initialize/Synchronize array.
11) Select 2, Initialize Disk Array.
A) Highlight both A0 and A1 logical drives with the spacebar.
B) Start Initialization. Allow to complete.
12) Select 3, Synchronize Disk Array.
A) Highlight both A0 and A1 logical drives with the spacebar.
B) Start Synchronization. Allow to complete.
13) You are now ready for NOS installation.
4.4) Installing the NOS
1) Modify OS2 Installation Disk 1 with the proper SCSI drivers.
A) Boot the RAID option disk and select option 1 (Driver Install).
B) Select to Make modifications to backup OS/2 Warp Diskette and hit Enter.
C) Hit Enter
D) Insert Warp Server Diskette 1 when prompted and hit Enter.
E) Remove disk when copying is complete.
Note: Depending on the OS2 revision, the statement SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1 may need to be added to CONFIG.SYS.
2) Boot off the OS/2 Warp Server Installation Diskette.
3) When prompted, insert OS/2 Warp Server Diskette 1. Ignore any error messages which may appear due to missing files and allow the diskette to load completely.
4) Follow the on screen instructions until the installation choices screen appears. Select Advanced Installation from the list.
5) Select option 2, Specify a different drive or partition.
6) When FDISK appears, Disk 1 should be highlighted. Press Enter within the freespace. Select Create partition from the partition menu. The default partition size should be 500 megabytes, accept the default size. Define the partition as Primary partition.
7) Press the Tab key, move the cursor to Disk 2 and hit Tab again. Press Enter within the free space. Select Create partition from the partition menu. Hit Enter to accept the default size. Define the partition as Extended logical drive.
8) Press Tab, and highlight Disk 1. Press Tab again, then press Enter. Select Set installable from the partition menu. Type the desired name for the new partition (example: WarpServ). Press F3 to exit, then F3 to save and exit. Follow the onscreen instructions to reboot the server.
9) You will now repeat steps 2-4. After choosing Advanced installation, choose Accept the drive.
10) Select option 1, High performance file system. Allow the installation partition to be formatted.
11) The system files will be loaded onto the hard disk.
12) When the transfer completes, a screen appears asking you to remove the diskette. DO NOT REMOVE IT. Instead, press F3 and an OS/2 Command Prompt should appear. Insert the RAID option diskette and type A:\FIXWARP and press Enter. Reboot the system (Ctl-Alt-Del).
13) When the System configuration window appears, click on SCSI adapter support and unselect Mylex DAC960 RAID Adapter. Make sure that IBM SCSI II RAID Adapter is selected. Click OK to return to System configuration.
14) Accept all other defaults and click OK.
15) Follow on screen instructions for installation until file copy begins. After the file copy the system automatically reboots.
16) The server may trap during the boot. If this occurs, boot from the installation diskettes and select F3 for a command prompt when offered (instead of Continue Installation). When the command prompt appears, insert the RAID option diskette once more and type A:\FIXWARP and Enter. Remove the diskette and reboot to continue the installation process.
17) The Warp Server installation will continue to copy files, and will again reboot the system automatically.
Appendix A:
Installing OS2 Fixpack 32
NOTE: If your ServerGuide does not have a Fixpack CD or you have no ServerGuide, call 1-800-426-7282 for a free upgrade (proof of IBM server purchase required). Otherwise, refer to IBM PSP's web site at http://ps.software.ibm.com to download the latest fixpacks (follow PSP's instructions for installing these packages).
1) Insert the ServerGuide CD labeled Fixpack in the CD ROM. Open an OS2 command prompt and change into the \OS2 directory. Run fixpinst.
2) Choose the appropriate language by number and press enter.
3) A graphical window appears. Click OK. The system is now inspected.
4) Ensure all serviceable components are highlighted. An Archive path needs to be entered to back up existing files for each component. Each component line requires its own entered archive directory.
NOTE: The graphical upgrade program does not create these directories. It is looking for them to already be on the hard drive. Open a command prompt and create them using the MKDIR command. Example: MKDIR C:\Archive\Multimedia for the multimedia component - when the directory is created, enter C:\Archive\Multimedia in the archive path in the graphical program. Now it will accept the directory and continue when Service is clicked.
5) Follow the on screen directions. Instruct the program to overwrite (continue) for any file name or driver it questions. After file copy is complete, shut down OS2 and reboot. After boot, the system unlocks locked files. The fixpack installation is now complete.
