Creating a Driver Diskette for UnixWare

Before installing the Mylex Disk Array Controller Drivers for UnixWare,
a UnixWare driver diskette must be created according to the instructions in
Appendix A, “Creating PCI Driver Installation Diskettes.”

This diskette will be used in both the primary and secondary installation
processes and when updating a previously installed driver wherever
instructed to insert the “Software Kit UnixWare (dak) driver diskette.”

Installing the Mylex Disk Array Controller as the
Primary UnixWare Controller with UnixWare 7.x/
2.1.3

If the Mylex Disk Array Controller will be the primary (bootable) controller,
follow the instructions below.

Note

If you are installing UnixWare 2.1.2 as a primary
controller, please refer to “Installing the Mylex Disk
Array Controller as the Primary UnixWare Controller
with UnixWare 2.1.2” on page 6-6.

1. Follow the instructions in the appropriate Mylex Disk Array Controller

manuals to set up the hardware, install the controller, connect the disk,
tape, and/or CD-ROM drives, and run the Mylex Disk Array Controller
Configuration Utility to create Drive Groups and System Drives.

Note

CD-ROM or tape drives may be connected to any
channel on the first controller. Do not set the SCSI ID
of either CD-ROM drives or tape drives to ID 0.

2. Initialize all the System drives using the RAID EzAssist Configuration

Utility. Make sure the first System drive is less than 2GB.
