Section 3. On-Line Information and Software Sources Section 1. General Tips Introduction The following subsections discuss problems that you may encounter when installing SCO UNIX 3.2v4.2, Open Desktop (ODT) 3.0, OpenServer 3.0, MPX 3.0, and OpenServer 5.0.x. SCO UNIX installation procedures include installing SCO UNIX files, loading all required drivers (including BTLD (Boot Time Loadable Driver) packages), and linking information to the kernel.
During SCO UNIX installation, access to the Utility Partition built by the Configuration Assistant is disabled. Select "Skip" if Configuration Assistant asks you to build the Utility Partition. Installation Media The following installation media is required in addition to the main product CD-ROM or tape to install SCO UNIX. For UNIX 3.2.4.2: N1, N2, and M1 diskettes, and the HP Drivers Diskette. For ODT 3.0 and OpenServer 3.0: N1, N2, and the Release Supplement diskettes, and the HP Drivers Diskette.
Be sure to leave enough space in your root file system for installing future applications. Remember that any application files that you place in your /u file system reduce the space left for user data files. A scratch division is an area that FSCK (file system check) uses to record data in case of a problem. It is probably safer to accept a scratch division, so that FSCK can function properly if you ever need it. Configuring a Mouse All HP NetServers have a PS/2 style mouse.
BTLD Tips The HP NetServers use the BTLD for the internal SCSI controllers. The BTLD is a driver that can be link-edited into the UNIX system kernel during the booting process. The link-editing is done by boot (HW) after the driver is loaded into memory, but before the kernel is started. The HP NetServer Manager CD creates a diskette containing the SCO UNIX BTLDs. For the UNIX 3.2v4.2 and 3.0 products, you need an HP disk controller driver diskette that is created by the HP NetServer Navigator CD.

Any error that occurs when you first boot off the N1 diskette is a hardware problem. Either some piece of hardware is bad or there is a serious hardware configuration error. Fix this problem before trying to install SCO OpenServer. When booting off the N1 diskette, always use the link command to link the appropriate SCSI driver into the system (alad for the E 30, E 40, E 45, E 50, E 60, LC II, LC 3, LD, LH, LS, or LX; symha for the LH 3, LH 4, LPr, LXr 8000, or LXr 8500).
The System Hangs without any Error Messages This is probably a SCSI bus problem. Check the SCSI setup for errors. Make sure all the SCSI devices are seen on boot up. One symptom of a SCSI bus termination error is that some devices are not seen on boot up. Check for bad SCSI devices, bad SCSI connectors, bad termination, duplicate SCSI IDs. Serialization Fails Once you have verified that you have entered the correct serial number/activation key, check the permissions on the /tmp directory (l -d/tmp).
Configuration Utility, or the AIC SCSI BIOS utility -A, or -C for Symbios BIOS utility to set this parameter.) MPS Table Setting On NetServer LS and LX for SCO MPX For the HP NetServer LS and LX with multiprocessors, you must set the MPS configuration parameter to the correct MPS Table setting. 1. Run the EISA Configuration Utility. 2. Move to the MPS Table selection. 3. Select the MPS table value 1.1 for SCO MPX 3.0. You may use MPS table value 1.
Booting from the Embedded SCSI Controller The system boots from the drive with the lowest SCSI address (0--zero) on the embedded SCSI host bus adapter. On the NetServer LD, LH and LS disk arrays, the upper middle drive slot has SCSI ID 0. On the NetServer LX, check the SCSI configuration label to see how your disk slots are numbered. If you place the boot drive in another slot, your system may not boot.
10. Reboot your system Installing Multiple NICs When you are installing more than one NIC in your system you need to install and configure one NIC at a time. Put the first NIC in the system, run "netconfig" to configure the card, turn off your system, put the second NIC in the system, and then run "netconfig" to configure the second NIC. The D5013A NIC driver does not support more than 2 D5013A NIC cards in the system.
IDE Translation Mode 1. Run the EISA Configuration Utility on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM. 2. Go to the IDE configuration section. 3. Highlight the IDE Translation Mode and change it to Standard CHS, unless you are using the new N1 diskette described above. Installation Instructions The following instructions help you to install SCO UNIX 3.2.4.2, Open Desktop (ODT) 3.0, OpenServer 3.0, Enterprise System 3.0, and MPX 3.0 on your HP NetServer system. NOTE: SCO Unix 3.2v4.
defbootstr link="scsi-driver array-driver" Sdsk=arraydriver(0,0,0) Srom=scsi-driver(0,5,0) for example installing on a NetServer LH, LS, or LX to an HP NetRAID the command is: defbootstr link="alad amird" Sdsk=amird(0,0,0) Srom=alad(0,5,0) if installing on a NetServer LH, LS, or LX to an HP Disk Array (Mylex) the command is: defbootstr link="alad mdac" Sdsk=mdac(0,0,0) Srom=alad(0,5,0) The link portion of the above command tells the operating system what BTLD drivers to use, the Sdsk portion tells the insta
Installing SCO OpenServer 5.0.x Large IDE Disk Drives and IDE/ATAPI CD-ROMs (on E30, E 40, E 45, E 50, E 60, LC II, LC 3, LH 3, LH 4 and LPr) For OpenServer 5.0.0 and 5.0.2 there is a problem using IDE disk drives larger than 2 GB. There is also a problem accessing some IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drives. SCO has released a new “wd” driver BTLD diskette that fixes these problems. You will need to get the SCO SLS OSS451B (or later) from SCO’s ftp site. Please read the instructions for this SLS before using it.
NOTE: For OpenServer 5.0.0 you must type “ahslink” instead of “link”. OpenServer 5.0.2 (and later) use “link”. A. If your CD-ROM or tape, and boot disk are connected to the internal embedded SCSI controller on NetServer models that use either the alad or arad driver (see table earlier in this document), press Enter or type “restart”. OpenServer release 5.0.x automatically detects the controller. Restart B.
to edit the “mscsi” file, relink the kernel, and reboot. OpenServer 5.0.4 requires a new N0 boot diskette from patch OSS463A. At the “Boot” prompt type: restart Sdsk=alad(1,0,0,0) Srom=alad(0,0,5,0) D. For the HP NetServer E 30, E 40, E 45, E 50, E 60, LC II, LC 3 or LH 3 (where an IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM is used) type: For OpenServer 5.0.0 and 5.0.2 use SCO SLS OSS451B (or later) to get the wd driver: restart link=wd Sdsk=alad(0,0,0,0) Srom=wd(1,0,0,0) For OpenServer 5.0.
Srom=alad(0,0,5,0) for the NetServer E 30, E 40, E 45, E 50, LC II, LC 3 or LH 3 running OpenServer 5.0.0 or 5.0.2 type: restart link=“amird wd” Sdsk=amird(0,0,0,0) Srom=wd(1,0,0,0) for the NetServer E 30, E 40, E 45, E 50, LC II, LC 3 or LH 3 running OpenServer 5.0.4 type: restart link=amird Sdsk=amird(0,0,0,0) Srom=wd(1,0,0,0) for the NetServer E 60 running OpenServer 5.0.5 type: restart disable=alad link=amird Sdsk=amird(0,0,0,0) Srom=wd(0,0,0,0) 4. There is a bug in the OpenServer 5.0.
Apply SCO SLS OSS449F Network Performance Patch For OpenServer 5.0.0, 5.0.2, and 5.0.4, you will need to install SCO’s Support Level Supplement (SLS) OSS449F to correct many known problems with TCP/IP, NFS, and Unix components of SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.0, 5.0.2, and 5.0.4, and SCO Internet FastStart Release 1.0.0 and 1.1.0. To get the SLS, ftp to SCO and get their SLS files "oss449f.Z" and "oss449f.ltr". Follow the instructions in the file oss449f.ltr on how to apply the patch.
