------------------------

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.
