Installing Novell NetWare • Novell NetWare 4.2x, 5.xx or 6.x software† * Not supplied 6.2 New installation of NetWare 4.2x, 5.xx and 6.x The following procedures assume that your ICP RAID controller(s) is (are) already installed in your system. If you plan to install the OS to a host drive, you must first configure the host drive through the expansion ROM (XROM) version of ICP RAID Console. At system boot time, press + when prompted to invoke the XROM version of ICP RAID Console. Note: Install all Novell patches and updates prior to installing the ICP RAID controller driver and ICP RAID Console. These updates can be found at . 6.2.1 New Installation of NetWare 4.20 with the SRCRX.HAM Driver 1. Create a driver diskette from the RAID Software Suite CD-ROM. See Section 2.2, Create the RAID Driver Installation Diskette for instructions. 2. Start the OS installation from the NetWare CD-ROM. (NetWare 4.2x CD-ROMs are NOT bootable so you must have a bootable DOS partition installed on your target hard drive and have the appropriate DOS driver for your CD-ROM.) 3. At the driver summary menu select modify drivers. 4. Insert the driver diskette into drive A: 5. Press on the ICP RAID driver list. 6. Press in the ICP RAID controller driver menu. 7. Press and change the path to A:\DRIVERS\4XX then press . 8. Select the SRCRX.HAM driver and complete the installation. Note: The above procedure will only install the device drivers for your controller. The ICP RAID controller Tools Kit (ICP RAID Console) is installed separately. See Section 6.3.2 for details. 6.2.2 New Installation of NetWare 5.0 with the SRCRX.HAM Driver Important: The SRCRX.HAM driver depends on a later version of the NWPA.NLM than was shipped on the NetWare 5.0 CD. Without the NWPA.NLM update, the SRCRX.HAM driver will fail to load. The following procedure will allow you to upgrade the NWPA.NLM on the fly during OS installation. 1. Create a driver diskette from the RAID Software Suite CD-ROM. See Section 2.1 for details to create this disk. 2. Start the OS installation from the NetWare bootable CD-ROM. 70 Software Installation and User's Guide

Software Installation and User’s Guide

Installing Novell NetWare

•

Novell NetWare 4.2x, 5.xx or 6.x software†

Not supplied

6.2

New installation of NetWare 4.2x, 5.xx and 6.x

The following procedures assume that your ICP RAID controller(s) is (are) already

installed in your system. If you plan to install the OS to a host drive, you must first

configure the host drive through the expansion ROM (XROM) version of ICP RAID

Console. At system boot time, press <Ctrl>+<G> when prompted to invoke the XROM

version of ICP RAID Console.

Note:

Install all Novell patches and updates prior to installing the ICP RAID controller driver

and ICP RAID Console. These updates can be found at

<http://www.novell.com>

6.2.1

New Installation of NetWare 4.20 with the SRCRX.HAM Driver

Create a driver diskette from the RAID Software Suite CD-ROM. See

Section 2.2,

Create the RAID Driver Installation Diskette

for instructions.

Start the OS installation from the NetWare CD-ROM. (NetWare 4.2x CD-ROMs are

NOT bootable so you must have a bootable DOS partition installed on your target hard

drive and have the appropriate DOS driver for your CD-ROM.)

At the driver summary menu select

modify drivers

Insert the driver diskette into drive A:

Press <Enter> on the ICP RAID driver list.

Press <Insert> in the ICP RAID controller driver menu.

Press <F3> and change the path to A:\DRIVERS\4XX then press <Enter>.

Select the SRCRX.HAM driver and complete the installation.

Note:

The above procedure will only install the device drivers for your controller. The ICP

RAID controller Tools Kit (ICP RAID Console) is installed separately. See

Section 6.3.2

for details.

6.2.2

New Installation of NetWare 5.0 with the SRCRX.HAM Driver

Important:

The SRCRX.HAM driver depends on a later version of the NWPA.NLM than

was shipped on the NetWare 5.0 CD. Without the NWPA.NLM update, the SRCRX.HAM

driver will fail to load. The following procedure will allow you to upgrade the

NWPA.NLM on the fly during OS installation.

Create a driver diskette from the RAID Software Suite CD-ROM. See Section 2.1 for

details to create this disk.

Start the OS installation from the NetWare bootable CD-ROM.
