V. SCO UNIX DRIVERS

Procedure 1
Existing System Installation

If you plan to attach SCSI devices to a Symbios Logic host adapter while using a
non-SCSI hard drive (IDE, ESDI, ST506) as the boot hard drive already containing
a SCO UNIX system, execution of procedure 1 is all that is necessary. This installs
the Symbios Logic driver on the non-SCSI boot drive. Some of the SCSI devices
supported include tape drives, CD-ROM drives, and SCSI hard disk drives used as
secondary storage. This procedure is also followed to replace a previously installed
Symbios Logic driver on a SCSI or non-SCSI boot drive.

Procedure 2
New System Installation

If you plan to perform a new SCO UNIX installation that includes the proper Symbios
Logic driver, then follow procedure 2. Procedure 2 uses a Boot Time Loadable
Driver (BTLD) to provide a user friendly method for installing SCO UNIX onto a
hard disk drive.

Each of these procedures is described in detail below. Symbios Logic recommends
that you complete the entire installation in one session. You should have sufficient
time (possibly over an hour) available to complete this without interruption.

The Symbios Logic
CAM3 SCSI Configuration Tool

Both installation procedures may use the Symbios Logic CAM3 SCSI configuration
tool to load your Symbios Logic SCSI driver into the SCO UNIX kernel. This
utility is provided on the Symbios Logic BTLD diskette for SCO UNIX. The CAM3
main menu presents the following options:

The CAM3 Main Menu Options

1

Configure the Symbios Logic SCSI Device Driver

2

Add or Remove Specific Devices

3

Relink Unix

4

Remove All SCSI Devices

5

Show Current SCSI Configuration

Some of these options are referred to in the following procedures. After completion
of either installation procedure, you may invoke CAM3 again from the UNIX prompt
by typing:

mkdev cam3

In this way, you may use CAM3 to make subsequent changes to the system
configuration.
