10.3.2 Existing System Installation
Before adding new or updated drivers, the newly supported hardware
devices should be installed and configured according to the instructions
in the corresponding Device Reference Page, if any. See the Device
Reference Manual for Solaris (Intel Platform Edition).
When the Solaris Intel Platform Edition software is already installed, the
simplest way to add new or updated drivers is to install the Driver ITU
diskettes as patches on your system. For more information about
managing diskettes and drives, see the System Administration Guide.
To add new or updated drivers, follow these steps:
Step 1.
Go to the root directory.
Step 2.
To see if the Volume Management software is running on the
machine that you are updating, type at the command prompt:
#ps -ef | grep vold
Step 3.
To temporarily stop Volume Management if it is running, type
this command at the system prompt:
# /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
Step 4.
Insert the Solaris Driver ITU diskette into the diskette drive.
Step 5.
Mount the SYMHISL ITU diskette at the
/mnt
mount point:
#mount -F pcfs /dev/diskette /mnt
You must mount the Solaris Driver ITU diskette at this point in
the file structure to update your system successfully.
Step 6.
Solaris 7: Execute the install script on the diskette:
# /mnt/DU/sol_27/i86pc/Tools/install.sh -i
or
Solaris 8: Execute the install script on the diskette:
# /mnt/DU/sol_28/i86pc/Tools/install.sh -i
The
install.sh
script searches for all new or updated drivers
on the diskette. When a new or updated driver is found, this
prompt appears:
