Retail Installation
You cannot install IBM OS/2 on a Compaq server using the unmodified
installation diskettes that come with the IBM OS/2 retail CD. To install
IBM OS/2 on a Compaq server:
1. Create IBM OS/2 SSD diskettes from the Compaq SmartStart and
Support Software CD as outlined in the instructions for manual
installation.
2. Use the CPQSETUP utility available on these diskettes to modify your
IBM OS/2 installation diskettes.
3. Install IBM OS/2 using the diskettes modified in Step 2.
4. Go to Step 8 of the previous procedure, “Manual Installation.”
Sun Solaris Device Drivers from Compaq
Your server must have certain device drivers for some server options to
operate using the Solaris (Intel platforms) operating system. Compaq provides
driver support for Solaris 2.6 and 7.
Solaris drivers and installation procedures are located at the SunSoft website:
http:/access1.sun.com/drivers
Banyan VINES Device Drivers from Compaq
Your server must have certain device drivers for some server options to
operate using the Banyan VINES operating system. Compaq provides driver
support for Banyan VINES 7.x and 8.x.
These drivers are located on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD
shipped with your server. You can use SmartStart to create a Banyan VINES
Support Software Diskette (SSD) from Compaq to support a manual
installation of Banyan VINES. There are two types of SSDs:
LAN adapter SSD
Peripheral adapter SSD
These SSDs contain the README files that list available drivers and driver
installation procedures.
