Installing the Driver on a New Solaris x86 System

See your LSI host adapter user’s guide for instructions if you are
installing a new LSI host adapter to support the system disk on a new
Solaris x86 installation. If you need to do this, you must first build an
Install Time Update (ITU) diskette using the

itmpt-x86-XXX-itu-YYY.dd

file. Instructions for creating the diskette are included here for your
convenience. (The instructions are also in the

bldsol.txt

file.)

3.1.5.1

Preparing to Create the ITU Diskette

These directions are for the zip file distribution of the ITMPT driver
package. They assume you have already successfully unzipped the
contents of the original zip file into a directory somewhere on your
system’s hard drive.

To create a ITMPT diskette for X86 Solaris installations, copy the raw

itmpt-x86-XXX-itu-YYY.dd

image file onto a 1.44 Mbyte floppy

diskette.

Note:

XXX indicates the driver version and YYY indicates the
version of Solaris that the image is for.

s9

is for Solaris 9

and

s10

is for Solaris 10.

See the following instructions for creating the ITU diskette on a Solaris
system or a DOS/Windows System.

3.1.5.2

Creating the ITU Diskette on a Solaris System

Follow these steps to create the ITMPT driver diskette on a Solaris
system:

1.

Insert a 3.5-inch diskette in the floppy disk drive.

2.

At the shell prompt, type the following:

# volcheck -v
# dd if=//itmpt-x86-XXX-itu.dd of=/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0 bs=32768
# eject floppy
