II. Installing Openserver on a Dell Server Equiped with a PERC 2; 2/Si; 3/Si; 3/Di ======================================================================= In order to install Openserver to a PERC 2 RAID controller on a Dell Server you will need to load in a BTLD during install. Follow the directions below to create the BTLD diskette and install the driver. 1) dd the driver image to a floppy. This can be done under a UNIX based operating system with the dd command (ie. dd if=percraidv1.0.img of=/dev/fd0) with fd0 being the floppy drive. There are also DOS based programs that will do this such as rawrite (remember, if you are using a DOS based machine without long filename support you will need to use a truncated filename) available from sites like: ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/redhat/dos/rawrite.exe ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/dos/rawrite.exe 2) Start the install as normal, but at the BOOT: prompt type the following: defbootstr link=percraid This links in the PERC 2 driver (percraid), If you are installing from a Scsi cdrom the target SCSI id is 5. If installing from a IDE cdrom on a 2450 change the cdrom selection from SCSI to IDE Cdrom and Primary/Master. 3) Continue installation as normal, you will be prompted to insert the driver disk for the percraid driver later. When adding additional drives under SCO, increment the Target ID and not the Lun. Recommended Patches for 5.05 with or without SMP rs505a oss497c oss471f oss600a No patches at this time for 5.06, Check the SCO web site for updates. http://www.sco.com 1/2001Download Driver Pack
