Release date             : April 23, 1999
Product Name             : Solaris x86 Package v2.10-1-MON-MEGA

Component Name(s) and Version #:
-------------------------------
Components:  For Solaris 2.6/7.0 x86.
             ------------------------
             Installation Package Version : 2.10-1
                     Driver  Version              : 2.10
                     MegaManager Version          : 2.21
                     Monitor Version              : 1.00

Previous Release: Driver Version 1.04

Reason for Release :
--------------------
1) Added support for Solaris 7
2) Added  multiprocessor/multithreaded support
3) Added performance enhancements
4) Enhanced installation

Known Restrictions
------------------
1) This release does not support the 762 MegaRAID Express Controller.
   This is being investigated.
2) MegaManager must be started from the console, not from X-windows.
   This is a restriction that will remain.
3) MegaManager will not work on systems that have motherboards that 
   contain LSI (Symbios Logic) SCSI controllers. This is being 
   investigated.
4) To use Solaris 2.6, the boot device must be a non-MegaRAID
   controller.  This is being investigated.
5) Applications that change certain kernel parameters, such as one for
   shared memory, may cause the MegaManager to fail. This is being
   investigated.


Installation Instructions
-------------------------
The image provided with this release is a DOS-readable file.  Use
the RWFLOPPY.EXE utility to convert the image into a package file
for Solaris. If the image is on your hard drive, pup a diskette in 
the floppy drive and type

rwfloppy -w filename.img

The output of RWFLOPPY.EXE will be a diskette formatted for Solaris
containing the package file needed for installation.

If performing a fresh install you will add the driver when 
prompted and continue with the installation as normal.  All of the 
files will be put in their proper directory.  

If you are upgrading a driver you can insert the driver disk and type 
'volcheck'.  You will then type 'cd floppy/floppy0' . Type 'ls' and 
make sure that DU is the top directory you see.  Then change to 
DU/sol_27/i86pc/Tools/ .  There is a file called install.sh .  You will 
execute this file by typing ./install.sh and follow the directions on 
the screen.  

After the Solaris installation is complete you will want to modify the
sd.conf file that resides in /kernel/drv.  By default Solaris numbers 
the target devices from 0-15 and the LUN's are all 0 as indicated 
below.

name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=1 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=2 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=3 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=4 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=5 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=6 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=7 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=8 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=9 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=10 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=11 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=12 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=13 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=14 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=15 lun=0;

You will need to change the targets so that the value for all of them 
=0 and you will want to change the value of the LUN's so that they are 
reported as 0-15 as indicated below.

name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=1;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=2;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=3;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=4;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=5;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=6;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=7;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=8;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=9;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=10;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=11;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=12;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=13;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=14;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=15;

After completing the modifications you will want to save the changes 
and exit.  From here you will want to exit out of the Window Manager 
environment and select a console login.  You will not be able to 
execute megamgr within x-windows.  Once you are at the command line 
you will type 'megamgr' and the menu will appear on the screen.  If 
you are adding a new logical drive you will need to reboot after 
exiting megamgr and tell the system to reboot in reconfiguration mode.  
This can be done by typing 'reboot-- -r' or 'b -sr' when the system 
asks for boot parameters upon boot-up.  At this point your new logical 
drive should be recognized when you type format.

  • 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.
