INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR THE LSI Fusion-MPT (TM) lsil DRIVER 1.04.xx

This file describes the features and use of the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT lsil 
device driver for the SCO OpenServer 5 operating system environments. The 
package name and the driver name are "lsil." These instructions assume that 
you are using a LSI host adapter and the appropriate SCSI devices. You only 
need to "link" the new lsil device driver if you have a LSI Logic host adapter 
in the system. Go to the Troubleshooting section for further information about
installation to an IDE Hard Drive.

Note:  Current SCO OpenServer drivers can be downloaded from the LSI Logic web 
       site at http://www.lsilogic.com.  After you are connected to this web 
       site, place your cursor on the Get Drivers option in the menu bar.  
       Click on the Drivers selection.  Choose the SCO Open Server 5.X 
       operating system for SCSI, Fibre Channel or SAS and click on the Go 
       button.  Follow the instructions on subsequent screens to download the 
       driver.

       Driver files are labeled sco104xx.Z, sco104xx.dd, etc.  The "xx" refers 
       to the last two digits of the actual driver version number.  For 
       instance, files associated with  lsil driver version 1.04.09 will be 
       labeled sco10409.Z, sco10409.dd, etc.

          The package name and the driver name are lsil.


******************************* 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 may provide 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 1.04.xx also features support for the 
LSIFC929X, LSIFC919X, LSIFC929, LSIFC919 and LSIFC909 Fibre Channel chipsets 
and their associated Host Adapter boards.  In addition, SAS 1064, 1068 and 
1078 with their PCI-X and PCI-E variations are supported as are their 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.

UNIX installation on a SCSI system requires creation of a SCO UNIX kernel 
that contains the driver to support LSI Logic SCSI, Fibre Channel and SAS 
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
   installation.  To access this UNIX kernel, type after the "boot:" prompt:

      unix.safe

2. Installing the lsil driver

   a. Insert the lsil BTLD diskette in the drive and type: 

      installpkg

      Press Enter to continue.

   b. A prompt appears to insert the requested diskette. Since the BTLD 
      diskette is already inserted, press Enter.

   c. A prompt now asks for the name of the package. Type:

      lsil

      Press Enter to continue.

   d. If a driver is already present from a previous installation, a prompt 
      inquires about replacing it. Press "y" for yes. 

   e. Once the install package (installpkg) has completed, relink the kernel
      by typing:

      /etc/conf/cf.d/link_unix

      at the command prompt.

   f. The system executes the command and then prompts for a series of 
      responses to:

      1.  Do you want this kernel to boot by default (y/n)?

          Type: y  

          Press Enter. 

          The system backs up the old kernel.

      2.  Do you want the kernel environment rebuilt (y/n)? 

          Type: y 

          Press Enter.

   g. To activate the new kernel, you must reboot the system.  At the command 
      prompt, type:

      reboot

      Press Enter.


3. Adding a SCSI Disk Drive 

   Note: If you are not adding a SCSI, Fibre Channel or SAS disk drive to this
      system, go to step 4.

   a. At the command prompt, type:

       mkdev hd 

       Press Enter.

   b. The system prompts for the identifier of the host adapter that supports 
      this device. If the default is correct, press Enter. If the default is 
      not correct, type:

      lsil

      Press Enter.

   c. The system prompts for the host adapter that supports the disk drive.
      Type the correct host adapter number and press Enter.

      If an additional LSI Logic host adapter is being added to the SCO UNIX 
      kernel, the system may prompt if you want to update the link-kit (add 
      another host adapter). Type y and press Enter. If you entered the host 
      adapter number incorrectly, type n, and press Enter. The system then
      prompts for the host adapter identifier of the preceding step.

   d. With SCO OpenServer 5, the system prompts for the bus number of 
      the disk drive. Since LSI Logic host adapters support one bus per adapter,
      press Enter to get the default of zero, or type 0 (zero) and press
      Enter.

   e. The system prompts for the target ID of the disk drive. Type the 
      ID number of the disk drive and press Enter. 

   f. The system prompts for the Logical Unit Number (LUN) of the disk drive. 
      Type the desired LUN and press Enter, or press Enter for the default 
      value of zero.

   g. The system prompts you to update the Configuration file. Type y 
      and press Enter if the displayed values are correct. Type n if the 
      values are incorrect, and retry from step 3d.

   h. A prompt appears to create a new kernel. Type y if this is the last 
      device to be added, or type n if additional devices are to be added.
      Go to step 6, "Rebuilding the Kernel," if you replied y; return to step
      3 if you replied n.

4. Adding a Tape Drive

   Note: If you are not adding a tape drive to this system, go to step 5.

   a. At the command prompt, type:

      mkdev tape 

      Press Enter. 

   b. The Tape Drive Configuration Program menu appears. Select option 1 to 
      install a tape drive, and press Enter.

   c. The Tape Drive Installation Menu appears. Select option 4 to install a 
      tape drive, and press Enter. From the next list, select the type 
      of tape drive to install, and press Enter. 

   d. The system prompts to configure the tape drive. Type y and press Enter. 

   e. The system prompts for the identifier of the host adapter that supports 
      this device.  If the default is correct, press Enter. If the default is 
      not correct, type:

      lsil

      Press Enter.

   f. The system prompts for the host adapter that supports the tape drive. 
      Type the correct host adapter number, and press Enter.

      If an additional LSI Logic host adapter is being added to the SCO UNIX 
      kernel, the system may prompt if you want to update the link-kit (add 
      another host adapter). Type y and press Enter. If you entered the host 
      adapter number incorrectly, type n, and press Enter. The system then
      prompts for the host adapter identifier of the preceding step.

   g. With SCO OpenServer 5, the system prompts for the bus number of 
      the tape drive. Since LSI Logic host adapters support only one bus per
      adapter, press Enter to get the default of zero, or type 0 (zero) and 
      press Enter.

   h. The system prompts for the ID of the tape drive. Type the ID 
      number of the tape drive and press Enter. 

   i. The system prompts for the LUN of the tape drive. Type 0 (zero) and
      press Enter. The system then prompts to update the Configuration file. 
      Type y and press Enter.

   j. A list appears that shows the special devices created. Press Enter, 
      and another list appears that shows the links to the installed tape
      drive.  When prompted for a boot string, type q and press Enter to
      return to the Tape Drive Configuration Program menu. Type q and press
      Enter to terminate the Tape Drive Configuration Program menu.

   k. A prompt appears to create a new kernel. Type y if this is the last
      device to be added, or type n if additional devices are to be added.
      Go to step 6, "Rebuilding the Kernel," if you replied y; return to 
      step 3 if you replied n.

5. Adding a CD-ROM Drive

   Note: If you are not adding a CD-ROM drive to this system, go to 
         Step 6.

      install a CD-ROM drive and press Enter.

   c. The system prompts to configure the CD-ROM Drive. Type y and press 
      Enter.

   d. The system prompts for the identifier of the host adapter that supports 
      this device. If the default is correct, press Enter. If the default is 
      not correct, type:

      lsil

      Press Enter.

   e. The system prompts for the host adapter that supports the CD-ROM drive. 
      Type the correct host adapter number and press Enter.

      If an additional LSI Logic host adapter is being added to the SCO UNIX 
      kernel, the system may prompt if you want to update the link-kit (add 
      another host adapter). Type y and press Enter. If you entered the host 
      adapter number incorrectly, type n, and press Enter. The system then
      prompts for the host adapter identifier of the preceding step.

   f. With SCO OpenServer 5, the system prompts for the bus number of 
      the CD-ROM. Since LSI Logic host adapters support only one bus per adapter,
      press Enter to get the default of zero, or type 0 (zero) and press
      Enter.

   g. The system prompts for the ID of the CD-ROM Drive. Type the 
      ID number and press Enter.

   h. The system prompts for the LUN of the CD-ROM drive. Type the desired
      LUN and press Enter, or press Enter for the default value of zero.

   i. The system prompts to update the Configuration file. Type y and 
      press Enter. A prompt appears to configure a CD-ROM/TAPE installation 
      device. Unless this is desired, type n and press Enter.

      A prompt appears to add a High-Sierra file system. Type y and press
      Enter. The system displays the High Sierra/ISO9600 file system 
      Configuration Program menu. Select option 1 to add High-Sierra and press

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.
