****************************************************************** * Infortrend RAID Controller Series * * In-band SCSI Drivers and Utilities * * for Solaris 2.5.x, 2.6 and 7 (SPARC platform) * ****************************************************************** Version: V1.21F Dear Infortrend customer, In this directory: IAAR121F IAAR121F.Z - In-band SCSI driver for Solaris 2.5.x/2.6/7 on SPARC platform ("dd" version) iaar121f.tar - In-band SCSI driver for Solaris 2.5.x/2.6/7 on SPARC platform ("tar" version) ["dd" version] How to Make the Installation Diskette from the Disk Image File -------------------------------------------------------------- You may find some of the files in this directory have the same filename but with different filename extension. They are the same disk image but one of them is compressed for easy file transferring: 1) With no filename extension: This is the disk image made of unix "dd" command. To restore this disk image onto a floppy diskette, use "dd" command: (in the example of using Solaris 2.6) Insert a new diskette into the floppy drive. # volcheck # dd if=filename of=/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0 bs=1440k # eject floppy # volcheck (where "filename" is the filename of the uncompressed disk image, "/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0" refers to the device name of the floppy drive.) 2) With filename extension ".Z": This is the disk image made of unix "dd" command, then compressed by unix "compress" command. To uncompress the compressed file, use the unix "uncompress" command: # uncompress filename.Z (where "filename.Z" is the filename of the compressed disk image. After the file has been uncompressed, the filename extension will be removed. The "filename.Z" will become "filename".) The compressed file - "filename.Z" will become uncompressed - "filename". To restore this disk image onto a floppy diskette, use "dd" command: (in the example of using Solaris 2.6) Insert a new diskette into the floppy drive. # volcheck # dd if=filename of=/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0 bs=1440k # eject floppy # volcheck (where "filename" is the filename of the uncompressed disk image, "/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0" refers to the device name of the floppy drive.) The disk image files require a floppy drive equipped unix system to restore to a floppy diskette. Some unix systems might not have the CD-ROM drive, we provide both compressed and uncompressed disk image files for easy file transfer between two systems. Lable the Installation Diskette(s) ---------------------------------- 1. Plese refer to "How to Make the Installation Diskette from the Disk Image File" section above to create the floppy diskettes for installation. 2. Please lable the diskette made of "IAAR121F" as: +--------------------------------------+ | Infortrend RAID Controllers | | | | In-band SCSI Drivers and Utilities | | for Sun Solaris 2.5.x/2.6/7 | | on SPARC platform | | | | Version 1.21F | | (Code:IAAR121F) | +--------------------------------------+ ["tar" version] How to Prepare the Installation from the Tar File ------------------------------------------------- 1. Copy the "tar" file into an empty directory in the hard drive. # cd # mkdir raid_utl # cd raid_utl # cp /iaar121f.tar . (where the "/iaar121f.tar" represents the location and filename of the tar file. The "raid_utl" is the empty directory name which can be replaced by your own directory name.) 2. Extract the file by using "tar" command. # tar xvf iaar121f.tar . (the files and directories will be extracted in the current directory) Install the In-band SCSI Driver and Text RAID Manager for SUN Solaris --------------------------------------------------------------------- A1. Installing from the driver diskette created from image file: To install the driver from the driver diskette, type: # pkgadd -d /floppy/floppy0 where "/floppy/floppy0" is the mounted driver diskette. Use Solaris Volume Manager and "volcheck" to mount the driver diskette, or mount it manually. A2. Installing from the directory with files extracted by "tar": # cd # cd raid_utl # pkgadd -d . Change the current directory to where the files extracted by "tar" command. The "pkgadd" will read the installation files from the current directory A3. A list of selections will show as below: The following packages are available: 1 dascsparc Inforend RAID In-Band SCSI Driver for Solaris 2.5,2.6 (sparc) 1.11c 2 dascsprc7 Infortrend RAID In-Band SCSI Driver for Solaris 7 (sparc) 1.11d 3 mgrsparc Infortrend Text RAID Manager for Solaris 2.5,2.6 (sparc) 1.52f 4 mgrsprc7 Infortrend Text RAID Manager for Solaris 7 (sparc) 1.52h 5 rhbasparc Infortrend IFT-2101 RAID Host Adapter Driver for Solaris 2.6 (3/98) (sparc) 1.11d 6 rhbasprc7 Infortrend IFT-2101 RAID Host Adapter Driver for Solaris 7 (sparc) 1.11e 7 snmpsparc Infortrend RAID RAID SNMP SUBAGENT for Solaris 2.5,2.6 (sparc) 1.15g 8 snmpsprc7 Infortrend RAID RAID SNMP SUBAGENT for Solaris 7 (sparc) 1.15i Select package(s) you will to process (or 'all' to process all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: If the operating system is Solaris 7, choose "2" to install the in-band SCSI driver. If the operating system is Solaris 2.5.x/2.6, choose "1" to install the in-band SCSI driver. A4. After the driver installed, the same selections appear again. Choose "3" or "4" to install the Text RAID Manager depends on the operating system. If the operating system is Solaris 7, choose "4" to install the Text RAID Manager. If the operating system is Solaris 2.5.x/2.6, choose "3" to install the Text RAID Manager. A5. After the driver installed, the same selections appear again. Choose "7" or "8" to install the SNMP subagent according to the operating system. If the operating system is Solaris 7, choose "8" to install the SNMP subagent. If the operating system is Solaris 2.5.x/2.6, choose "7" to install the SNMP subagent. This step can be ignored if the SNMP remote administration is not going to be used. If TCP/IP protocol and SNMP service have not yet installed on this system, it can be installed later after the system TCP/IP and SNMP installed. The RAID SNMP sub-agent is not a must to be installed. Install it only when needed. A6. Choose "q" to quit when the same list of selections appear again. A7. Reboot the system. # init 6 A8. After the system reboot, type "boot -r" in the boot screen to let the Solaris knows to look for new device drivers and incorporate them as part of the boot process. Using Text RAID Manager to Configure RAID ----------------------------------------- 1. Change the current directory to where the Text RAID Manager is located. # cd /usr/lib/raidsnmp 2. Execute the Text RAID Manager under command prompt: # ./raidman Please follow the Instruction manual for the detail operation of the Text RAID Manager. ******************* Product/Update Information ******************* For more information about Infortrend and our RAID controller products, please visit our web site: http://www.infortrend.com.tw or http://www.infortrend.com To download the latest firmware and drivers/utilities, please visit our ftp site: ftp://ftp.infortrend.com.tw or ftp://ftp.infortrend.com ******************** Support Information ************************ If you have any technical questions regarding to your RAID system, please contact your RAID system supplier first, they will provide the latest information and sincere support. ******************** Suggestions?
