8. Install any non-ServeRAID disk-storage adapters or controllers in the server; then, attach the drives to the disk-storage adapters and controllers. 9. Install the second ServeRAID adapter or controller from the list you created in step 3f on page 148; then, attach the drives to the ServeRAID adapter or controller. 10. Turn on the system and allow UnixWare to discover the new disk-storage adapters and controllers. 11. Power down the system. 12. Repeat steps 9, 10, and 11 until all ServeRAID adapters, ServeRAID controllers, and drives are installed. 13. You can now partition and format the logical drives attached to the additional ServeRAID adapters and controllers. See the information provided with UnixWare for more instructions. Installing UnixWare on a non-ServeRAID drive: Use the instructions in this section if you are using multiple disk-storage adapters or controllers, you are installing UnixWare on a drive attached to a non-ServeRAID adapter or controller, and you intend to store only data on the drives attached to the ServeRAID adapters and controllers. 1. Install all ServeRAID adapters that you intend to use in the system. 2. Using the ServeRAID Configuration Program, create all of the arrays and define all of the logical drives. 3. Make a list of all of the ServeRAID adapters and controllers, including the order and slot number, installed in the system. To do this: a. Turn on the server. b. When the ServeRAID Mini-Configuration prompt appears, press Ctrl+i. When a system contains more than one ServeRAID adapter or controller, a selection screen appears. c. The menu lists the ServeRAID adapters and controllers in order. Select the first ServeRAID adapter or controller from the menu. d. Select Advanced Functions from the Main Menu. e. Select View Controller and PCI Information from the Advanced Functions menu. f. Record the slot number for the ServeRAID adapter or controller; then, press Esc three times to return to the controller selection screen. g. Repeat step 3c through step 3f until you record the slot number for each ServeRAID adapter or controller that appears on the selection screen. 4. Turn off the system; then, remove all ServeRAID, IDE, and SCSI disk-storage adapters and controllers except the one attached to the drive where you intend to install UnixWare.
