Introduction
This document presents very important information that you need to install SCO UNIX.
The first section of this document is a list of helpful tips on NOS installation, the second
section is a step-by-step installation guide.
NOTE: Hewlett-Packard has more than one Disk Array Controller (DAC) for the
NetServer product family.
In this document the term "HP Disk Array" refers to
the EISA and PCI Disk Array Controller models C3609A and C3610A,
respectively.
The term "HP NetRAID" refers to the HP NetRAID and NetRAID-
1 PCI Adapters
models D4943A and D4992A, respectively.
The term °HP
NetRAID 1Si refers to model number D2140A.
The term °HP NetRAID 3Si±
refers to model number D5955A.
The term °HP Embedded RAID± refers to the
built in RAID controller on the HP NetServer LH 3 and LH 4.
The HP NetServer E 30 does not support either DAC.
The HP NetServer E 40 , E 45 and E 50 support the HP NetRAID DACs only.
The HP NetServer E 60 only the HP NetRAID 1Si and HP NetRAID 3Si.
SCO MPX 3.0 does not work correctly on multiprocessor systems using the Intel
Pentium Pro, Pentium II or Pentium III processor (e.g. the NetServer LC II, LC 3,
LD Pro, LH Pro, LH II, LH 3, LH 4, LPr, LX Pro, LXe Pro,
LXr Pro and LXr
8000).
SCO Open DeskTop 3.0, OpenServer 3.0, and MPX 3.0 are not supported on the
NetServer LC 3, LH 3, LH 4, LXr 8000, and LXr8500.
SCO OpenServer 5.0.x is supported on the NetServer E60, E 800 LPr, LC2000,
LC3, LH3, LH3000, LH4, LXr 8000 and LXr8500
