Intel Integrated RAID Software Installation
Note: When installing UnixWare, create only one RAID volume on which the operating system is to be
installed.
1. Create and configure one RAID volume in RAID Configuration Utility. See “How to Invoke
Advanced RCU” on page 2-19 to create and configure a RAID volume. Once a RAID volume
is created and configured, return to this procedure to install the operating system. If more than
one RAID volume is required, complete this installation and then use Storage Console to
create multiple volumes.
2. Insert UnixWare 7.1 Volume: 1 of 2 diskette and reboot. Install the OS using the install
instruction provided in UnixWare 7 Installation Guide manual. UnixWare will prompt you to
install Host Bus Adapter diskette. At that time insert the Unix Installation diskette when
prompted. To create a UnixWare Installation diskette see the “Make Diskettes” section in
Chapter 3, “Exploring the Utilities”.
Warning: Only use the version of the HBA disk that is provided on the CD or available from the Intel Web
site for installation of this adapter. Do not use a HBA disk available from the vendor to install this
product.
Note: During the installation of UnixWare, you will be prompted to install the Network
Information Services (NIS) package. By default the installation will configure your system as
an NIS client. See your system administrator for configuration of the NIS services.
After the installation, files such as /etc/inet/inetd.conf are supposed to be distributed to the
client via NIS. If, however, you don't have a master NIS server on the network, the client will
be unable to retrieve its copy of this (and other) file(s). Depending on the particular service
being requested, fulfilling the request may take a long time, or may fail completely.
If you do not plan on using NIS, defer installation of NIS during the installation by pressing
<F8> on the NIS configuration screen. If you decide at a later time to install NIS, you can do
so using the pkgadd(1) command.
3. Install the Netscape browser. The Netscape browser is provided in the SCO UnixWare CD-
ROM Disk 2 of 3.
4. After completing the UnixWare installation insert the SRCU31 CD-ROM in the CD-ROM
drive and mount the CD-ROM.
a. Create a directory to mount the file. For example, type “mkdir cdfiles” at the prompt.
b. Mount the CD-ROM to the folder by typing:
