******************************* Introduction ********************************
SCO UNIX is the first UNIX operating system licensed for IBM-compatible
microcomputers. The integrated communications, file system, international
application support, and documentation create an ideal platform for those
requiring a full-featured, UNIX-based operating system. SCO UNIX takes full
advantage of the capabilities of the 80386 and above microprocessors.
To connect SCSI devices to one or more host adapters, you must place the
proper host adapter driver in the SCO UNIX kernel. The lsil Boot Time
Loadable Driver (BTLD) diskette contains one package:
lsil contains the driver for SCO OpenServer 5
You must link-edit the proper driver into the SCO UNIX kernel. The kernel must
reside on the boot drive: either an internal, non-SCSI hard drive or a SCSI
hard drive attached to host adapter 0 with SCSI ID 0 and LUN 0. The BTLD
permits an easy installation of SCO UNIX with the software provided by SCO.
SCO OpenServer 5 provides only one installation diskette, labeled Boot
Disk. This diskette, the lsil BTLD driver diskette, and other software media
are used during an SCO OpenServer 5 installation.
The lsil driver allows SCO OpenServer 5 operating systems to interface with
SCSI devices connected to the LSI53C1030 family of chipsets and/or
LSI53C1030 host adapter cards. Driver 1.03.00 also features support for the
LSIFC929, LSIFC919 and LSIFC909 Fibre Channel chipsets and their associated
Host Adapter boards.
The following sections provide instructions for configuring the SCO UNIX
kernel with the lsil driver, installing SCO UNIX onto a hard drive, and
adding SCSI peripheral devices. These instructions assume that you are familiar
with UNIX system administration.

* * * * * * * * * * * * Description * * * * * * * * * *
UNIX installation on a SCSI system requires creation of a SCO UNIX kernel
that contains the driver to support LSI Logic SCSI and Fibre Channel
devices. The two possible installation procedures are:
1. Installing UNIX and the proper lsil driver for the first time on
a boot drive.
2. Loading or updating the proper lsil driver on a boot drive.
To perform a new SCO UNIX installation that includes the proper lsil driver,
then follow Procedure 1. This procedure uses a BTLD to provide a
user-friendly method for installing SCO UNIX onto a hard disk drive.
To attach devices to a LSI Logic host adapter while using a non-SCSI hard
drive as the boot hard drive already containing a SCO UNIX system, follow
Procedure 2. This procedure installs the lsil driver on the non-SCSI boot
drive. Some of the devices supported include tape drives, CD-ROM drives, and
hard disk drives used as secondary storage. Use this procedure to replace a
previously installed lsil driver.
Each procedure is described in detail below. LSI Logic recommends that you
complete the entire installation in one session. To complete this installation
without interruption, you should have sufficient time (possibly over an hour).
************************ Installing the SCO UNIX Driver *********************
* * * * * * Procedure 1: New System Installation * * * * * * *
This procedure installs SCO UNIX onto a hard disk drive. This installation is
necessary to build a new UNIX kernel that includes your lsil driver. During
installation, you are given the option of retaining current partitions on
the root hard disk. For instance, you could have a DOS partition or a user
UNIX partition already established on the drive. For more details on UNIX
installation, refer to the SCO OpenServer Handbook.
1. Link the lsil BTLD into the UNIX kernel during installation.
a. Insert the SCO UNIX installation diskette and reboot the system. For
SCO OpenServer 5, this diskette is labeled Boot Disk.
b. At the "boot:" prompt, type:
link
Press Enter.
c. At the next prompt, type:
lsil
Do not remove the diskette. Press Enter.
d. When prompted during the installation, insert either the proper
installation diskette or the lsil BTLD diskette, and press Enter.
The system may prompt you to enter a routine:
"Please enter
which routine (0-40) to replace '?' to list),
'a' to add "lsilinit" at the end [default],
'n' to do nothing, or 'q' to quit"
Enter the indicated routine number that proceeds this message.
Then, the system may prompt with another inquiry:
"Please enter
which routine (0-2) to replace '?' to list),
'a' to add "lsilpoll" at the end [default],
'n' to do nothing, or 'q' to quit"
Enter the indicated routine number that proceeds this message.
e. Continue the installation according to the SCO UNIX documentation.
f. The SCO OpenServer 5 system automatically creates a file, unix.safe,
during installation. To access this UNIX kernel, type after the "boot:"
prompt:
unix.safe
2. Install SCSI device support by continuing from Procedure 2, step 3.
* * * * * * Procedure 2: Existing System Installation * * * * *
This procedure assumes SCO UNIX is already installed on a hard disk drive.
This installation is necessary to build a new UNIX kernel that includes the
proper LSI Logic host adapter driver. The basic steps for accomplishing
this task are outlined below. For more details on UNIX installation, refer to
the SCO UNIX System Administrator's Reference Manual.
1. The SCO OpenServer 5 system automatically creates a file, unix.safe, during

* * * * * * * * * * * Troubleshooting * * * * * * * * * *
The following conditions should exist after a successful installation:
The directory etc/conf/sdevice.d should contain a file named lsil. This file
contains the sdevice entries.
The directory etc/conf/cf.d contains files sdevice, mdevice, and mscsi. Files
sdev.hdr and mdev.hdr describe the values of the possible field entries
in the files sdevice and mdevice, respectively.
The sdevice file should contain an lsil entry for each LSI Logic host
adapter configured in the system.
The second field in the sdevice file should read 'Y'.
An lsil entry should appear in the mdevice file.
An lsil entry for each configured device should appear in the
mscsi file.
Directory /etc/conf/pack.d/lsil should exist and contain the files Driver.o
and space.c.
Some potential problems and their suggested solutions are:
* * * Problem * * *
Difficulty loading the SCO UNIX kernel to an IDE hard drive
* * * Solution * * *
You only need to "link" if you have a device attached to an LSI Logic host
adapter. Follow the instructions in the SCO UNIX Installation documentation.
Once the installation has completed, then go to Step 2 in Procedure 2 and use
"installpkg" to install your lsil driver.
* * * Problem * * *
A device is not found.
* * * Solution * * *
a. Reboot and press Cntl C when prompted to view the LSI Logic Configuration
Utility displays.
b. Verify the device is on the correct host adapter and ID. If the device is
not shown, then it is probably turned off or a cabling problem exists.
* * * Problem * * *
UNIX system behaves unreliably after a configuration change.
* * * Solution * * *
Whenever the hardware or software configuration is altered, you must rebuild
the kernel. Use the directory /etc/conf/cf.d and type:
./link_unix
to rebuild the kernel.
* * * Problem * * *
An error message occurs during the rebuild of the kernel.
* * * Solution * * *
Reinstall the proper lsil driver using the installpkg utility.
Remember to relink the kernel and then reboot the system.
* * * Problem * * *
The root disk is not found or the partitioning of the disk fails.
* * * Solution * * *
If your boot drive is a disk, use the BIOS Configuration Utility
to check that the disk is assigned ID 0 and is configured to host
adapter 0, LUN 0.
