Netfinity 7000 - Installing SCO OpenServer 5.0
Applicable to: World-Wide
Summary
This document provides installation steps for SCO OpenServer 5.0.
Note
1. Logical drives must be installed as bus number 0 when using the mkdev utility, regardless of channels the physical drives are on.
2. Non-disk devices (such as CD-ROMs and tape drives) must be installed as bus numbers 1, 2, or 3, depending upon the channel the physical device is on. The external channel 1 connector and the internal channel 1 connector (located closest to the external connector) is bus number 1. The next internal channel connector is bus number 2, and the last internal channel connector is bus number 3. You cannot use the internal channel 1 connector and the external channel 1 connector at the same time.
To configure the default non-disk devices during the initial installation
The default tape drive must be redefined in the initial bootstring.
For example, to install the ipsraid BTLD and redefine the tape drive and press Enter: link Stp=ips(0, 1, 2, 0) at the Boot: prompt. The numbers are: the host adapter number, the bus number, the SCSI ID, and the logical unit number (LUN), respectively.
When prompted for the location of the installation CD, change the bus number and SCSI ID as appropriate.
Adding BTLD at startup time
Refer to Using Boot-Time Loadable Drivers in the SCO OpenServer Handbook.
1. At the Boot: prompt type link and press Enter
2. When asked for the name of the package to load, type ipsraid
3. After kernel loads but before it runs, link prompts you to insert the IBM PC ServeRAID Adapter Support diskette for SCO.
Note: While installation is copying files from the CD, the following two messages (a and b) might appear.
a. Extracting BTLD distribution for ipsraid.../etc/uadmin getdev b ips: No such device (error 19). This message requires no user action.
b. dynamic linker: dlvr_audit: Cannot open /dev/zero for file /lib/libprot.so.1. Press Enter to continue installation, when prompted.
4. Retain the BTLD diskette for use later in the installation. You will need it to configure the driver into the link kit.
Adding BTLD after initial installation
1. Start the server in system maintenance mode, and login as root.
2. Type installpkg
3. If prompted, select the diskette drive from which to install.
4. Insert the IBM PC ServeRAID Adapter Support Diskette for SCO, when prompted.
5. When asked for the name of the package, type ipsraid
6. Re-link the kernel (as described in Relinking the kernel in the SCO OpenServer Handbook) by entering the following commands:
cd /etc/conf/cf.d
./link_unix
Once the kernel has been rebuilt, you will see the following message: The UNIX kernel has been rebuilt. Do you want this kernel to be boot by default? Type Y.
The system backs up the old kernel by moving /unix to /unix.old. When the system asks for kernel environment to be rebuilt, type Y. The system will respond with a successful message.
6. Use shutdown to bring down the system and then restart it.
