SCO Boot Time Loadable DPT RAID Driver
Installation of the DPT RAID device driver is a simple procedure that can be
performed either as a "Boot Time Loadable Driver (BTLD)" or as a driver
installed into an up and running system. The same installation floppy will be
used for both types of installations. The only time that you would need to
install the driver as a BTLD is if you configured the "boot" device as a
software RAID 0 LSU. In all other cases when the RAID 0 LSU is a
secondary device, the installation should be done after the system is
installed and running.
Installing As A Boot Time Loadable Driver (BTLD) for SCO 3.2.4.2/ODT 3.0:
1) Insert the standard SCO N1 boot floppy into the drive
and power on the system.
2) At the "Boot:" prompt, enter the string :
defbootstr disable=dpt link=dptr4
and press Enter.
3) The system will load the Unix kernel from the N1 floppy
and then prompt you to insert the dptraid installation
floppy. Insert the floppy and press Enter. The system
will copy the necessary object files from the floppy
and link them into the Unix kernel.
4) Next you will be asked to insert the N2 floppy. When
you press Enter, the Unix kernel will boot. During the
SCO Unix Hardware Roster Screen, a line similar to the following
should appear:
"%adapter type=dptr4 ha=0 id=7 Bus Master"
5) From here on you should go through a normal SCO Unix
installation as outlined in the DPT Manual. At some
point in the installation you will be prompted to
insert the dptraid install disk again. All of the
necessary files will be copied off of the disk and
stored in memory. Near the end of the installation
when the install script is setting up the link kit for
the currently installed hardware configuration, you
will be prompted to install the dptraid driver into
the link kit.
NAME DESCRIPTION
dptr4 A DPT RAID SCSI Host Adapter Driver
Please enter the names of the packages you
wish to install, or q to quit:
type dptr4 and press Enter. The DPT RAID driver will
be installed and a new Unix kernel will be built and
installed.
Installing into an up and running system for SCO 3.2.4.2/ODT 3.0:
1) At the Unix prompt Enter the command installpkg and
press Enter. You will be prompted to insert a disk.
Insert the dptraid install disk and press Enter.
2) you will be prompted with:
The following packages are on this disk:
NAME DESCRIPTION
dptr4 A DPT RAID SCSI Host Adapter Driver
Please enter the names of the packages you
wish to install, or q to quit:
type dptr4 and press Enter
3) The installation package will turn off the original
DPT driver and install the new DPT RAID Driver.
4) A new Unix kernel must be built and installed before
the new driver be accessed.
Installing As A Boot Time Loadable Driver (BTLD) for SCO Open Server 5
1) Insert the standard SCO N1 boot floppy into the drive
and power on the system.
2) At the "Boot:" prompt, enter the string :
defbootstr ahslink=dptr5
and press Enter.
3) The system will load the Unix kernel from the N1 floppy
and then prompt you to insert the dptraid installation
floppy. Insert the floppy and press Enter. The system
will copy the necessary object files from the floppy
and link them into the Unix kernel. During the SCO Unix
Hardware Roster Screen, a line similar to the following
should appear:
"%adapter type=dptr5 ha=0 id=7 Bus Master"
4) From here on you should go through a normal SCO Unix
installation. At some point in the installation you
will be prompted to insert the dptraid install disk
again. All of the necessary files will be copied off
of the disk and stored in memory. Near the end of the
installation when the install script is setting up the
link kit for the currently installed hardware configuration,
you will be prompted to install the dptraid driver into
the link kit.
NAME DESCRIPTION
dptr5 A DPT RAID SCSI Host Adapter Driver
Please enter the names of the packages you
wish to install, or q to quit:
type dptr5 and press Enter. The DPT RAID driver will
be installed and a new Unix kernel will be built and
installed.
Installing into an up and running system for SCO Open Server 5:
1) At the Unix prompt Enter the command installpkg and
press Enter. You will be prompted to insert a disk.
Insert the dptraid install disk and press Enter.
2) you will be prompted with:
The following packages are on this disk:
NAME DESCRIPTION
dptr5 A DPT RAID SCSI Host Adapter Driver
Please enter the names of the packages you
wish to install, or q to quit:
type dptr5 and press Enter
3) The installation package will turn off the original
DPT driver and install the new DPT RAID Driver.
4) A new Unix kernel must be built and installed before
the new driver be accessed.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
