The ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Program provides a graphical-user interface that enables you to monitor ServeRAID configuration changes being performed on your server while your server is fully operational. The ServeRAID administration program file for SCO OpenServer is referred to as the Background Server component. To use the ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring program with SCO, you must first install the WIN32-Based version of the Administration and Monitoring Program on a Windows NT or Windows 95 client attached to the same network as the SCO OpenServer systems that contain the ServeRAID adapters or controllers. The Background Server component enables the SCO OpenServer system to act as the TCP/IP interface for the remote WIN32-Based Program. NOTE: The WIN32-Based version of the ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Program is provided on the "IBM ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Diskette" for Windows NT and Windows 95". ____________________________________________________________________ 2.0 Installing the ServeRAID Device Driver for SCO OpenServer ______________________________________________________________ Use the instructions in this section to install the IBM ServeRAID device driver for SCO OpenServer. Before you begin the installation, review the following information: o You must install Logical Drives as Bus Number 0 when using the 'mkdev' program, regardless of the Channel that the physical drives are on. o You must install non-disk devices, such as CD-ROM and tape drives, as Bus Numbers 1, 2, or 3 relative to the Channel to which they are attached. 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. NOTE: You cannot use the internal Channel 1 connector and the external Channel 1 connector simultaneously. o To configure the default non-disk devices during the initial installation: 1. You must redefine the default tape drive in the initial bootstring. For example, to install the IPSRAID BTLD and redefine the tape drive, go to the "Boot:" prompt and type: link Stp=ips(0, 1, 2, 0) The numbers in parentheses represent the Host Adapter Number, the Bus Number, the SCSI ID, and the LUN respectively. 2. When prompted for the location of the installation CD, change the Bus Number and SCSI ID, as required. 2.10 Adding BTLD at Boot Time ------------------------------ NOTE: For additional information about adding a BTLD at boot time, refer to 'Using Boot-Time Loadable Drivers' in the "SCO OpenServer Handbook". To install the ServeRAID device driver for SCO OpenServer, Version 5.0.X: 1. At the "BOOT:" prompt, type: link and press Enter. 2. When asked for the name of the package to load, type: ipsraid and press Enter. 3. After the kernel loads but before it runs, "link" prompts you to insert the "IBM ServeRAID SCO OpenServer Diskette". NOTE: While the installation program copies the files, one or both of the following messages might appear: A. Extracting BTLD distribution for ipsraid... /etc/uadmin getdev b ips: No such device (error 19) B. dynamic linker: dlvr_audit: Cannot open /dev/zero for file /lib/libprot.so.1 You can ignore message A, no user action is required. If message B appears, press Enter when prompted to continue the installation. 4. Keep the BTLD diskette readily available. You will need it to configure the device driver into the link kit. 2.20 Adding BTLD after the Initial Installation ------------------------------------------------ 1. Start the server in system maintenance mode, and login as 'root '. 2. Type: installpkg and press Enter. 3. Select the diskette drive where you will insert your installation diskette. 4. Insert the "ServeRAID SCO OpenServer Diskette", when prompted. 5. When prompted for the name of the package, type: ipsraid and press Enter. 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 After the kernel rebuilds, the following messages appear: "The UNIX kernel has been rebuilt. Do you want this kernel to boot by default?" Enter 'y'. The system backs up the old kernel by moving '/unix' to '/unix.old'. When the system asks for kernel environment to be rebuilt, enter "y". The system will respond with a successful message. 7. Use 'shutdown' to bring down the system; then, reboot the system. _____________________________________________________________________ 3.0 Installing the Background Server Component for SCO OpenServer _____________________________________________________________________ The ServeRAID administration program files for SCO OpenServer consist of a device driver and a Background Server component. To use the ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring program with SCO, you must first install the WIN32-Based version of the Administration and Monitoring Program on a Windows NT or Windows 95 client attached to the same network as the SCO OpenServer systems that contain the ServeRAID adapters or controllers. The Background Server component enables the SCO OpenServer system to act as the TCP/IP interface for the remote WIN32-Based Program. NOTE: The WIN32-Based version of the ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Program is provided on the "IBM ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Diskette" for Windows NT and Windows 95". The Background Server component for SCO OpenServer is installed automatically when the ServeRAID SCO OpenServer device driver is installed. Type the following to start the server daemon running in the background: ipsadm & and press Enter. ___________________________________________________________________ 4.0 Installing Files for SCO OpenServer using an IDE CD-ROM Drive ___________________________________________________________________ This section contains instructions for installing files for SCO OpenServer 5.0.0, SCO OpenServer 5.0.2, and SCO OpenServer 5.0.4 using an IDE CD-ROM Drive. 4.10 Installing Files for SCO OpenServer 5.0.0 ----------------------------------------------- To install files for SCO OpenServer 5.0.0 using an IDE CD-ROM drive: 1. Type the following at the BOOT prompt: restart ahslink="ATAPI ipsraid" Srom=wd(0,0,0,0) 2. Insert the ATAPI BTLD diskette when prompted. Press "r" to replace the "wd" driver. The fields for the ATAPI CDROM are: Srom=wd(c,d,l,b) where: c = primary (0) or secondary (1) IDE/EIDE controller d = master (0) or slave (1) device l = LUN of device (always 0 with ATAPI or wd driver) b = BUS of device (always 0 with ATAPI or wd driver) 4.20 Installing Files for SCO OpenServer 5.0.2 and 5.0.4 ---------------------------------------------------------- To install files for SCO OpenServer Versions 5.0.2 or 5.0.4 using an IDE CD-ROM drive: 1. Type the following at the BOOT prompt: restart link=ipsraid Srom=wd(0,0,0,0) Note: The ATAPI BTLD (which includes the "wd" driver) is included in OpenServer 5.0.2 and 5.0.4. The fields for the ATAPI CDROM are: Srom=wd(c,d,l,b) where c = primary (0) or secondary (1) IDE/EIDE controller d = master (0) or slave (1) device l = LUN of device (always 0 with ATAPI or "wd" driver) b = BUS of device (always 0 with ATAPI or "wd" driver) 2. Let the system Boot normally until it comes to the select Media options. o If you are using SCO OpenServer 5.0.4, go to step 4. o If you are using SCO OpenServer 5.0.2, continue with step 3. 3. To install with SCO OpenServer 5.0.2: a. Select Adapter type as 'WD'. b. Select Media Type as 'SCSI CDROM'. c. Select ID, BUS & LUN as 0. d. Go to step 5. 4. To install with SCO OpenServer 5.0.4: a. Select Media Type as 'IDE CDROM Drive'. b. Select Primary Adapter and Master Device. c. Go to step 5. 5. You have completed the installation. ____________________________________________________________________ 5.0 Trademarks and Notices ___________________________ The following terms are trademarks of the IBM Corporation in the United States or other countries or both: IBM Netfinity ServeRAID Microsoft, Windows, and Windows NT are trademarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.
