3.3.3

Preparing to Install the UnixWare 7 and Open Unix 8 Driver

The

mpt

driver for UnixWare operating systems is available on a 3.5-inch

diskette labeled Fusion-MPT UnixWare driver. Use this diskette to load
the driver during the installation of the operating system, or to access
attached devices after a UnixWare installation. The following sections
describe these procedures.

The current UnixWare Fusion-MPT driver is also available from the LSI
web site at

http://www.lsi.com

.

Installing the Driver on a New UnixWare or Open Unix System

Follow these steps to install the

mpt

driver on a new UnixWare or

Open Unix system:

1.

Boot the system using the installation diskettes or CD-ROMs in the
UnixWare Operating System media kit.

2.

Follow the instructions on the screen.

3.

Insert the

mpt

driver diskette when the installation prompts for the

host adapter diskette.

The system loads the required drivers, such as

mpt

, and displays a

message when they are finished loading. At the end of the
installation, the system prompts you to reinsert the host adapter
driver diskette.

4.

When this prompt appears, insert the

mpt

driver diskette and press

Enter. The kernel builds and the installation terminates.

5.

Remove the driver diskette when prompted.

6.

Reboot the system.

Installing the Driver on an Existing UnixWare or Open Unix System

Before you install the

mpt

driver on an existing UnixWare or Open Unix

system, make a backup copy of the existing kernel, as explained in the
following steps:

1.

Log on as root.

2.

At the shell prompt type the following:

cp /stand/unix

/stand/unix.safe
