Migrating from SCO OpenServer™ 5.0.5 to UnixWare® 7.1 Using Compaq SmartStart v4.23 15 Compaq also provides customers with the ability to purchase a Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD subscription that provides the latest management and support software on a regular basis, usually monthly. More information about this subscription service, including an online order form, can be obtained from the Compaq website http://www.compaq.com/support/files/portables/us/ssminfo.html. Now we shall proceed with the installation of UnixWare 7.1. Migration Environment • ProLiant 1600R with 450 MHz Processor • Embedded 876 as Boot Controller • Fibre Channel Controller with one logical drive attached to a Fibre Channel Storage System • Netelligent 10/100 TX UTP Controller • SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 to UnixWare 7.1 • EFS 5.25 on SCO OpenServer 5.0.5; EFS 7.25 for UnixWare 7.1 • (NIS) Configured. Host system was master with two NIS clients • NFS Configuration • 5 users • TCP/IP network configuration • FTP Server • Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Configuration Basic Installation Steps As we have already stated, Compaq highly recommends that you backup your server BEFORE you upgrade to UnixWare 7.1. Afterward, you can then proceed with the following basic installation steps. And although you should be able to easily follow the detailed SCO Installation Guide, every migration entails a few incompatibilities, workarounds, or special considerations. For that reason, we will highlight and expound upon some of the more critical steps. Step 1: Enter command for SmartStart workaround. IMPORTANT: Currently, SmartStart v4.23 will not boot on an OpenServer 5.0.5 system that had been installed using SmartStart for Servers. Use the following temporary workaround. Sign in as root and run the command #/usr/user/local/compaq/bin/eisaCfg -w CQTBOOTIN 0. This problem should be fixed in SmartStart 4.40. Step 2: Physically install additional RAM and/or hardware devices. Power down your server. Then physically install additional RAM, expansion boards, hard drives, and other devices that you will need on your new UnixWare 7.1 system. Check the SCO website at www.SCO.com for compatible hardware. Then power on your server. 0413-0799-A
