Installing ServerRAID device drivers for OS/2: This section provides two sets of instructions for installing the ServeRAID device driver: one that you can use during the initial OS/2 installation and one that you can use if OS/2 already is installed. The ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Program files and background-server component for OS/2 install automatically when you use the instructions in this chapter to install the ServeRAID device driver for OS/2. Installing the files while installing OS/2: You can use the following instructions to install the ServeRAID device driver and Administration and Monitoring Program files while installing OS/2 Warp Server. Note If you install these files on a logical drive that has its write policy set to the write-back mode, wait at least 10 seconds after being prompted to press Ctrl+Alt+Del before you actually press the keys. Waiting 10 seconds or longer gives the ServeRAID adapter or controller the time needed to flush all dirty-cache pages out to the hard disk. To install the ServeRAID files while installing OS/2: 1. Use the ServerGuide Diskette Factory to create an IBM ServeRAID Device Driver Diskette. 2. Make a copy of the OS/2 Warp Diskette 1 and label it Copy of OS/2 Diskette 1. 3. Copy the IPSRAID.ADD file from the OS2 directory on the IBM ServeRAID Device Driver Diskette to the Copy of OS/2 Diskette 1. If there is not enough space, delete files not needed in the installation (such as proprietary CD-ROM or SCSI device drivers). Make sure you remove all entries referring to any device drivers you delete from the CONFIG.SYS file. 4. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the Copy of OS/2 Diskette 1 to add the following lines: BASEDEV=IPSRAID.ADD SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1 5. Install OS/2, but when prompted to insert diskette 1, use the updated Copy of OS/2 Diskette 1. 6. After you complete the OS/2 installation, insert the IBM ServeRAID Device Driver Diskette. 7. From an OS/2 window, type: a: 140 Netfinity Server HMM
