New install of NetWare 4.2, 5.0, 5.1 and 6.0
============================================
IMPORTANT: If you plan to install the OS to a RAID volume, you must first
configure the RAID volume through the XROM version of ICP RAID
Console. At system boot time, press Ctrl-G when prompted to invoke
the XROM version of ICP RAID Console.
New install of NetWare 4.20 with the SRCRX.HAM driver:
------------------------------------------------------
- create a driver diskette from the RAID Software Suite CDROM either from a
Windows workstation or by booting to the RAID Software Suite CDROM
- start the OS installation from the NetWare CD (NetWare 4.x CDs are NOT
bootable so you'll already need to have a bootable DOS partition installed on
your target hard drive and have the appropriate DOS driver for your CDROM)
- at the driver summary menu select modify drivers
- insert the driver diskette into drive A:
- press ENTER on the storage driver list
- press INS in the storage controller driver menu
- press F3 and change the path to A:\DRIVERS\4XX then press ENTER
- select the SRCRX.HAM driver
- continue the NetWare installation as normal by following the screen prompts
New install of NetWare 5.0 with the SRCRX.HAM driver:
------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT: The SRCRX.HAM driver depends on a later version of the NWPA.NLM
than was shipped on the NetWare 5.0 CD. Without the NWPA.NLM
update, the SRCRX.HAM driver will fail to load. The following
procedure will allow you to upgrade the NWPA.NLM on the fly during
OS installation.
- create a driver diskette from the RAID Software Suite CDROM either from a
Windows workstation or by booting to the RAID Software Suite CDROM
- start the OS installation from the NetWare bootable CD
- the NetWare Install will eventually load a "Welcome" screen asking you to
verify the startup directory (C:\NWSERVER)
- press Alt+F10 to exit the installation
- at the NetWare console prompt, type "down" and press ENTER (the installation
exits to the boot drive's DOS prompt)
- insert the driver diskette into the A: drive
- if your NetWare startup directory is drive C:, then run
A:\INSTALL\NWUPDATE.BAT, otherwise create a subdirectory named NWUPDATE at
the root of your boot drive and copy all the files from A:\DRIVERS\5XX to
the NWUPDATE subdirectory
- leave the NetWare 5.0 bootable CD in place, but remove the driver diskette
from drive A:
- reboot the server
- after rebooting the server, the NetWare 5.0 Install will start again
- right after the Accept the License Agreement screen, select the "Continue
with Existing Partition" option
- you may encounter a warning dialog box if you chose to install a "New
Server" that says, "Warning: A previously installed version of NetWare was
detected in C:\NWSERVER. If you choose to install a new server, all data on
the existing server will be lost. <Press ENTER to continue>"
- do as the message suggests and press ENTER
- continue the NetWare installation as normal by following the screen prompts
New install of NetWare 5.1x with the SRCRX.HAM driver:
------------------------------------------------------
- create a driver diskette from the RAID Software Suite CDROM either from a
Windows workstation or by booting to the RAID Software Suite CDROM
- start the OS installation from the NetWare bootable CD
- at the storage driver summary menu select modify drivers
- insert the driver diskette into drive A:
- press ENTER on the storage driver list
- press INS in the storage controller driver menu
- press F3 and change the path to A:\DRIVERS\5XX then press ENTER
- select the SRCRX.HAM driver
- continue the NetWare installation as normal by following the screen prompts
RECOMMENDATION: Install all patches and updates from Novell
Fresh installation of NetWare 6.x using SRCRX.HAM driver:
---------------------------------------------------------
- the SRCRX.HAM driver is already located on the NetWare 6.0 CD and will be
detected automatically during installation
RECOMMENDATION: Update to the latest SRCRX.HAM after OS installation as
described below and install all Novell NetWare patches and
updates.
NOTE: The above procedures install only the controller drivers. To Install
the ICP RAID Console NLM, follow the procedure under "Add RAID
Controller(s), drivers, and/or ICP RAID Console to an existing NetWare
installation" and select the "Storage RAID Controller Tools Kit
(ICPCON.NLM)" option.
Add RAID Controller(s), drivers, and/or ICP RAID Console to an existing
NetWare installation
=======================================================================
RECOMMENDATION: Install all patches and updates from Novell prior to
installing the RAID Controller driver and ICP RAID Console
- create a driver diskette from the RAID Software Suite CDROM either from a
Windows workstation or by booting to the RAID Software Suite CDROM
- power off the system and add the RAID Controller card(s)
- power on the system and boot to the OS
- load INSTALL.NLM (For 4.2x only)
- load NWCONFIG.NLM (For 5.x and above)
- insert the driver diskette into drive A:
- do one or both of the following to install your desired packages (you don't
need to reinstall the driver package if you initially installed the driver
using one of the steps under "New install of NetWare 4.2, 5.0, 5.1 and 6.0")
To install the "RAID Controller Driver" package
-----------------------------------------------

Configuring tools for remote access
===================================
TCP/IP Tool
-----------
- after installation of the "Storage RAID Controller Tools Kit" package start
the tool "SRCD.NLM" on the server
- include SRCD.NLM in the autoexec.ncf file and restart the server or start it
manually
- now it is possible to connect to the RAID Controller via ICPCON from an
attached workstation
- in the file srcd.cfg which is located in the SYS:ETC directory users and
passwords can be defined, by default the user Admin with the admin password
is configured
IPX Tool
--------
- after installation of the "Storage RAID Controller Tools Kit" package create
a group SRC_Operator in the NDS and add the Admin and all other users which
should be able to use the remote configuration tool of the RAID controller
- load SRCIPX.NLM
- after this, start ICPCON from an attached workstation, connect to the server
and use a user name of the group SRC_Operator and his NetWare password
