10.2 Building the SYMHISL Driver Update Diskette

Before proceeding to the installation instructions, create an ITU diskette
for Solaris installations. Do this by copying the raw

DD

image file onto a

1.44 Mbyte diskette. The SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities
CD-ROM contains the

symitu.dd

image file in this directory. Follow this

UNIX CD-ROM path after you have the CD-ROM mounted:

/drivers/unixes/solaris/solaris7

or

/drivers/unixes/solaris/solaris8

Open the folder in the Solaris 7 or Solaris 8 subdirectory to locate the
correct

SYMITU.DD

image file. Building the driver update diskette is

dependent upon the operating system that you are using. Refer to the
instructions for UNIX System and DOS System users for more
information.

10.2.1 For UNIX System Users

Create the SDMS SYMHISL Driver Update diskette and use it during
installation of the operating system. This driver supports the LSI53C896,
LSI53C895A, LSI53C1000, and/or LSI53C1010 controllers. If you are
accessing the SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM from
UNIX, follow these steps:

Step 1.

Use the

symitu.dd

image file provided in the install package.

Step 2.

Insert a new, blank diskette and type the following commands:

#volcheck -v
#dd if=//symitu.dd of=/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0
bs=36k
#eject floppy

Step 3.

Label this diskette “SYMHISL Driver Update Diskette.”

Step 4.

Use this diskette when the system prompts you to insert the
ITU diskette.
