Installing SCO OpenServer 8.1.3 Additional Installation Notes The boot drive is the drive which is first integrated at system power up. For the ICP RAID controller, this drive is the first host drive in the list of ICP RAID host drives, for example, the host drive number 0 (see ICPCON menu Configure Host-Drives). During the installation you will have the opportunity to decide if you want the ICP RAID controller to make the boot drive available, or whether you want to operate the ICP RAID controller as an additional controller in the computer system. If the ICP RAID controller is the only hard disk controller in the computer system, it automatically makes the boot drive available. If there are more hard disk controllers, the controller which makes the first drive available (the drive containing partition C:) is the boot controller. OpenServer is always installed on the hard disk with Target ID 0 and LUN 0 on host adapter 0, that is on host drive 0 of this controller. If OpenServer is installed from tape (streamer), the streamer must have SCSI ID 2 and be connected with SCSI channel A of host adapter 0. For an installation from SCSI CD-ROM, the SCSI CD-ROM device must have SCSI ID 5 and be connected with channel A of the ICP RAID controller. When using OpenServer, you have the option to link the driver to the kernel before starting the kernel (btld (ADM)). This will allow you to use the ICP RAID controller as the only controller in the system. Use the ICP RAID HBA Disk. During the installation, whenever the N1 floppy disk is inserted and the message Boot : is displayed, do not press Enter immediately, but type in link Enter. The system will then prompt you for the name of the HBA driver. Now type in iir. It may be necessary to type in the complete boot string. In this case, you have to add the following command: link=iir HBA=fd(xx) where xx is the "Minor Device Number" of the corresponding device file. xx = 60 for fd0135ds18, 3.5" floppy as A:, or xx = 61 for fd1135ds18, 3.5" floppy as B: (see OpenServer system Administrator's Reference, Hardware Dependence, floppy devices). When requested, enter the IRQ which has been assigned to the PCI INT of the ICP RAID controller (see the Hardware Guide). In addition, the ICP RAID BIOS must not be disabled and the boot drive must be connected with the ICP RAID controller having the lowest PCI slot number. When the UNIX installation has been completed, the driver is installed. Additional devices may be installed with mkdev hd (ADM). If the ICP RAID controller is an additional controller, the installation of the driver is carried out with installpkg. Software Installation and User's Guide 83

Installing SCO OpenServer
8.1.3
Additional Installation Notes
The
boot drive
is the drive which is first integrated at system power up. For the ICP RAID
controller, this drive is the first host drive in the list of ICP RAID host drives, for example,
the host drive number 0 (see ICPCON menu
Configure Host-Drives
). During the
installation you will have the opportunity to decide if you want the ICP RAID controller
to make the boot drive available, or whether you want to operate the ICP RAID controller
as an additional controller in the computer system.
If the ICP RAID controller is the only hard disk controller in the computer system, it
automatically makes the boot drive available. If there are more hard disk controllers, the
controller which makes the first drive available (the drive containing partition C:) is the
boot controller.
OpenServer is always installed on the hard disk with Target ID 0 and LUN 0 on host
adapter 0, that is on host drive 0 of this controller. If OpenServer is installed from tape
(streamer), the streamer must have SCSI ID 2 and be connected with SCSI channel A of
host adapter 0. For an installation from SCSI CD-ROM, the SCSI CD-ROM device must
have SCSI ID 5 and be connected with channel A of the ICP RAID controller.
When using OpenServer, you have the option to link the driver to the kernel before
starting the kernel (
btld
(ADM)). This will allow you to use the ICP RAID controller as
the only controller in the system. Use the ICP RAID
HBA Disk
. During the installation,
whenever the N1 floppy disk is inserted and the message
Boot
:
is displayed,
do not
press Enter immediately, but type in
link
Enter. The system will then
prompt you for the name of the HBA driver. Now type in
iir
. It may be necessary to type
in the complete boot string. In this case, you have to add the following command:
link=iir HBA=fd(xx)
where xx is the “Minor Device Number” of the corresponding device file. xx = 60 for
fd0135ds18, 3.5" floppy as A:, or xx = 61 for fd1135ds18, 3.5" floppy as B: (see
OpenServer system Administrator's Reference, Hardware Dependence, floppy devices).
When requested, enter the IRQ which has been assigned to the PCI INT of the ICP RAID
controller (see the Hardware Guide)
.
In addition, the ICP RAID BIOS must not be
disabled and the boot drive must be connected with the ICP RAID controller having the
lowest PCI slot number.
When the UNIX installation has been completed, the driver is installed. Additional
devices may be installed with
mkdev hd
(ADM). If the ICP RAID controller is an
additional controller, the installation of the driver is carried out with
installpkg.
