Advanced Installation Steps
2.5.9.4 Installing UnixWare on a Pass-through Device or another Storage
Device
This procedure installs UnixWare on a pass-through disk or another storage device. It is typically
used on a system where the operating system is on a disk not controlled by SRCU31. Have all
hardware and software on hand. See system requirements in Section 2.5.9.2.

Intel Integrated RAID Software Installation
1. If you are installing UnixWare on a Pass-through Disk go to step 2. If you are installing
UnixWare on an IDE disk go to step 4.
2. Create a pass-through disk. Once step a is completed, return to this procedure to install the
operating system.
a. Ensure that only one pass-through disk is the only disk connected to the system. The
remaining SCSI disks are connected to the SRCU31 after the OS is installed. Create the
single disk as a pass-through disk and select it as the boot device. Using the RAID
Configuration Utility (see “How to Invoke Advanced RCU” on page 2-19 for more
information) create a pass-through disk and select it as the boot device (see “Custom
Configuration” on page 2-12 for more information on creating a pass-through disk). The
operating system will be installed on this disk.
3. If you are installing UnixWare on an IDE disk, go to step 4. If you are installing UnixWae on a
pass through disk, then go to step 5.
4. If you are installing UnixWare on an IDE disk, ensure that the IDE disk is the only disk
connected to the system. The SCSI disks are connected to the SRCU31 after the OS is
installed.
a. 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 the Host Bus Adapter diskette. Insert any needed host bus adapter disks and
press F10 to continue. If you do have vendor supplied HBA disk, then use the HBA disks
supplied with UnixWare. Do not install the Intel Integrated RAID HBA disk.
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
