10.1 Introduction
Solaris 7 and Solaris 8 for x86 platforms are operating systems designed
to run on single or multiple processors. These operating systems provide
a command line interface environment and a graphical environment that
incorporates many high level features. Refer to the Sun Microsystems,
Inc. web site,
www.sun.com/docs , for Solaris 7 or Solaris 8
documentation for a more detailed explanation.
The symhisl driver allows the Solaris operation to interface with SCSI
devices connected to LSI Logic LSI53C895A, LSI53C896, LSI53C1000,
and LSI53C1010 SCSI controller chips. A list of features associated with
this driver along with its description are described below. The procedures
to install the
symhisl driver during a new installation of Solaris or to
update the driver with an existing installation of Solaris are also included.
After the image has been copied to a 3.5-inch diskette, label the ITU
diskette “SYMHISL Driver Update.” For new system installations, go to
Section 10.3.1, “New System Installation,” and proceed to Step 2.
