3.0 Quick installation instructions for experienced users
1. Any Netfinity 7000 M10 Server with a system Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) level less than 26A will need to be updated. Verify that you are at the latest level of BIOS by checking the IBM web/ftp/bbs site. OSE126A was the latest level at the time that this document was published.
2. Insert the SCO OpenServer startup diskette into the diskette drive and turn on the server.
3. Follow the window instructions that will guide you through the installation, and note the following.
At the startup (boot) prompt, press Enter.
Note: If a non-slimline drive is being used, the following bootstring is required at the boot prompt:
restart Sdsk=alad(0,0, x, 0)
(Where x = SCSI ID number)
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 primary, and the master or slave selection should be master.
4.0 Detailed installation instructions
1. If you are using the optional IBM ServeRAID II Adapter as your startup controller or as a secondary SCSI controller, see Appendix A: Notes for ServeRAID II adapter users and Appendix B: Installation procedure for ServeRAID II adapter users for additional installation notes and procedures.
2. The CD-ROM drive that is shipped with the base system is integrated drive electronics (IDE) based. By default, it resides on the primary IDE controller as the master device.
3. The server has a single 10 Mb/s Ethernet RJ-45 port built into the systems management card. This port is intended solely for the purposes of communicating with the systems management card and is not detected or supported by OpenServer 5.0.4. Network adapter devices should be installed and configured after the installation of OpenServer v5.0.4.
4. 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.
5. For multi-processor systems, the Networking and SMP Supplement for OpenServer v5.0.4 is located on the SCO ftp/BBS (ftp.sco.com, anonymous ftp) in the /SLS subdirectory. Apply patch oss469c after the installation of the release supplement. Refer to the text file oss649c.ltr for details.
4.1 Setting up the BIOS
1. Power-on the server and press F1 when the IBM logo is in the window to enter Configuration/Setup.
2. Highlight the menu option System Information and then select Product Data and press Enter. The Flash EEPROM Revision Level field contains the BIOS version. The numbers in positions 5, 6, and 7 of the level are the current BIOS level (for example, in OSE126A, the BIOS level is 26A, and the language is U.S. English).
3. Verify that you are at the latest level of BIOS by checking the IBM web/ftp/bbs site. OSE126A was the latest level at the time that this document was published.
4. If your BIOS needs to be updated, download the latest level of BIOS from the following IBM Web site:
http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/searchfiles.html
a. Type 7000 m10 bios
b. Select the latest level of BIOS to download.
The image is a self-extracting, executable file (under DOS or OS/2) that will create a startable system BIOS flash diskette. Build the diskette image by running the .EXE file(under DOS or OS/2), answering Y on the last page of the licensing agreement. The current diskette image is 33l3694.exe and is labeled IBM Netfinity 7000-M10 Flash BIOS Update Diskette v1.00.
5. Boot with the BIOS diskette in the diskette drive and answer the questions presented during installation appropriately. After the BIOS update is complete, you may receive a 162 Configuration has changed error at startup time. Ignore this message.
Note: If you do not see the 162 Configuration has changed message at startup (boot) time, you will need to press F1 when the IBM logo is on the screen to enter back into Setup.
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. Follow the window instructions that will guide you through the installation, and note the following.
At the startup (boot) prompt, press Enter.
Note: If a non-slimline drive is being used, the following bootstring is required at the boot prompt:
restart Sdsk=alad(0,0, x, 0)
(Where x = SCSI ID number)
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 primary 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 Santa Cruz Operation, Inc.(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 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 II adapter users
The following notes are applicable if the IBM ServeRAID II Adapter is being used, either as the startup controller
or as a primary SCSI controller.
All ServeRAID II logical array drives must be initialized and synchronized before installing any operating system.
Logical drives residing on the first ServeRAID II adapter must be referenced via the following Sdsk boot string option.
For ServeRAID II logical drive 0, use ServeRAID II boot string option - Sdsk=ips(0,0,0,0)
For ServeRAID II logical drive 1, use ServeRAID II boot string option - Sdsk=ips(0,0,1,0)
For ServeRAID II logical drive 2, use ServeRAID II boot string option - Sdsk=ips(0,0,2,0)
In general, the Sdsk option is specified via the boot string for a ServeRAID II adapter, as follows.
Sdsk=ips (adapter number, bus number, SCSI ID number, SCSI logical unit number (LUN))
Note: ServeRAID II logical drives always reside on bus 0.
When both the ServeRAID II and integrated SCSI controllers are used, the ServeRAID II controller will default to the startup controller if logical drives are defined.
If a ServeRAID II adapter is in the server, then you MUST also specify the Srom option in the boot string. When a ServeRAID II 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 primary IDE controller as the master device. The corresponding Srom option for the boot string is:
Srom=wd(0,0,0,0)
Appendix B: Installation procedure for ServeRAID II adapter users
Use the following procedure ONLY if the IBM ServeRAID II Adapter is being used, either as the startup controller or as a primary SCSI controller. The following procedure assumes that the ServeRAID II logical drive have already been configured.
1. Obtain the file 33L3940.EXE or later version if the IBM ServeRAID II 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 II 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 DOS Configuration diskette 33L3938.exe or later for logical drive configuration, and the ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Program diskette 33L3941.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 II 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(0,0,0,0)
Where y = the logical drive number as defined by the ServeRAID II
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 II 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 II controller, the following two messages might appear while files are being copied from the compact disc (CD):
Extracting BTLD distribution for ipsraid ... /etc/uadmin getdev ips: No such device (error 19)
This requires no user input and can be ignored.
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.
