LOGIC SDMS UNIXWARE DRIVER V3.02
This file describes the features and use of the Symbios Logic SDMS Device Drivers
for the Novell UnixWare 2.0x and the more recent SCO UnixWare 2.xx operating
system environments. It is divided into the following sections:

Introduction
UnixWare 2.xx extends the UNIX SVR4.2 operating system, allowing tight integra-
tion with NetWare in an easy to use graphical form. UnixWare features include a
graphical user interface, NetWare networking, application compatibility, multitasking
capability, and multi-user capability. In addition UnixWare 2.xx provides multipro-
cessor support.
The storage device drivers for UnixWare are based on thePortable Device Interface
(PDI) architecture. PDI logically breaks down a driver into a controller specific
portion (C8xx host adapter driver) and a device specific portion (the target driver).
The third component is SDI (the SCSI Device Interface), a kernel resident driver
that interfaces with both the target driver and host adapters.
The Symbios Logic SDMS C8xx driver allows Novell UnixWare and SCO UnixWare
operating systems to interface with SCSI devices connected to a Symbios Logic
53C8xx chipset and/or Symbios Logic 8xxxx host adapter cards. The driver can be
statically linked (integrated) or dynamically linked (loadable) with the kernel. If the
driver is integrated with the kernel, then the rebuilt kernel must reside on the boot
drive. The following sections describe the procedures to install the driver during a
first time installation of UnixWare, and to update already installed UnixWare with
the Symbios Logic SDMS C8xx driver.
