1.0 Updating the BIOS and Firmware

___________________________________

To update the ServeRAID BIOS and firmware:

1. Insert the IBM ServeRAID BIOS/Firmware Update diskette

into the diskette drive; then, turn on the system. If the

system is already turned on, press Ctrl+Alt+Del.

2. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

____________________________________________________________

2.0 BIOS Setup

______________

If your server contains multiple ServeRAID adapters or

controllers, only one copy of the ServeRAID BIOS is used.

If multiple copies of the BIOS are detected, they will be

handled based on how each one is configured. The instructions

to configure the BIOS settings is found in the Advanced Functions

section of the Mini-Configuration program. It is called the Multiple

Controller mode which has two settings: Erase and Shrink. When the

parameter is set to Erase, redundant copies of the ServeRAID BIOS

are erased. When this parameter is set to shrink, the extra copies

of the ServeRAID BIOS are removed from memory, but stored for

future use. When you have multiple ServeRAID adapters and

controllers installed, you need only one active copy of

ServeRAID BIOS. However, to ensure that you will have a

copy of the ServeRAID BIOS available if your active copy

becomes defective or unavailable, leave the Multiple Controller

parameter set to Shrink.

_____________________________________________________________________

multiple, concurrent drive failures occur in different

arrays on the same ServeRAID adapter or controller.

o When the system is configured for the Unattended Mode,

the ServeRAID BIOS now allows access to the CTRL-I

function during system startup.

o Modifications for the ServeRAID BIOS and the ASPI device driver

to work with the expanded memory manager for the 80386 (EMM386)

o Modifications to the Configuration Utility Program to no longer

accept physical drive state changes from Defunct (DDD) to Online

(ONL) for RAID level-5 logical drives in the critical state.

When a RAID level-5 logical drive is critical, you must rebuild

it for the logical drive to change from DDD to ONL.

o When multiple drive failures occur within the same array, the

hot-swap rebuild operation will no longer start automatically.

If multiple drives fail within the same array, you now must

start the rebuild process manually.

o Added support to disable the integrated ServeRAID controller on

the PC Server 330 models 8640-PM0, -PB0, and -PT0.

1.0 About this Diskette

________________________

To use the ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Program with SCO,

you must first install the WIN32-Based version of the Administration

and Monitoring Program on a Windows NT or Windows 95 client. Then,

attach the Windows NT or Windows 95 client to the same network as

the OpenServer or UnixWare systems that contain the ServeRAID

adapters or controllers. Finally, you must install the ServeRAID

OpenServer or UnixWare device driver and background-server

component.

The background-server component for the OpenServer and UnixWare

operating systems install automatically when you install the

ServeRAID OpenServer or UnixWare device drivers.

____________________________________________________________________

2.0 Installing the Files for SCO OpenServer

____________________________________________

Before you begin the installation, review the following information:

o You must install logical drives as Bus Number 0 when using the

MKDEV program, regardless of the channel that the physical

drives are on.

o You must install nondisk devices, such as CD-ROM and tape

drives, as Bus Numbers 1, 2, or 3 relative to the channel to

which they are attached. External Channel 1 connector is Bus

Number 1, external Channel 2 connector is Bus Number 2, and

internal Channel 3 connector is Bus Number 3.

To configure the default nondisk devices during the initial

installation:

1. Redefine the default tape drive in the initial bootstring.

For example, to install the IPSRAID BTLD and redefine the tape

drive, go to the "BOOT" prompt and type:

link Stp=ips(0, 1, 2, 0)

The numbers in parentheses represent the Host Adapter Number,

the Bus Number, the SCSI ID, and the LUN respectively.

2. When prompted for the location of the installation CD,

change the Bus Number and SCSI ID, as required.

3.0 Installing the Files for UnixWare

______________________________________

The instructions for installing the ServeRAID files when using

UnixWare depend on the number of IDE and SCSI disk-storage adapters

and controllers installed in the system. If all of the

direct-access-storage devices (DASD) in the system are attached to a

single disk-storage adapter or controller (such as the ServeRAID

adapter or controller), you can skip the instructions in this

section and go directly to "Installing the Files while Installing

UnixWare" or "Installing the Files after Installing

UnixWare" section.

If you are attaching devices to multiple disk-storage adapters or

controllers (including IDE and SCSI controllers integrated on the

system board), use the following instructions.

o If you are installing UnixWare on a drive attached to a

ServeRAID adapter or controller, follow the instructions in

"Installing UnixWare on a ServeRAID Drive".

o If you are installing UnixWare on a drive attached to a

non-ServeRAID adapter or controller and you intend to store only

data on the drives attached to your ServeRAID adapters and

controllers, follow the instructions in "Installing UnixWare on

a Non-ServeRAID Drive."

INSTALLING UNIXWARE ON A SERVERAID DRIVE: Use the following

instructions if you are using multiple disk-storage adapters or

controllers and you are installing UnixWare on a drive attached to a

ServeRAID adapter or controller.

NOTE: If you are not using multiple disk-storage adapters and

controllers, go to "Installing the Files while Installing

UnixWare" in section 3.10.

1. Install all ServeRAID adapters that you intend to use in

your system.

2. Using the ServeRAID Configuration Program, create all of

your arrays and define all of your logical drives.

3. Make a list of all of the ServeRAID adapters and

controllers, including the order and slot number, installed in

the system. To do this:

a. Turn on the server.

b. When the ServeRAID Mini-Configuration prompt appears,

press CTRL+I. When a system contains more than one

ServeRAID adapter or controller, a selection screen appears.

c. The menu lists the ServeRAID adapters and controllers in

order. Select the first ServeRAID adapter or controller

from the menu.

d. Select ADVANCED FUNCTIONS from the Main Menu.

e. Select VIEW CONTROLLER AND PCI INFORMATION from the

Advanced Functions menu.

f. Record the slot number for the ServeRAID adapter or

controller; then, press ESC three times to return to the

controller selection screen.

g. Select the next adapter or controller and repeat steps 3d

through step 3f until you record the slot number for each

ServeRAID adapter or controller that appears on the

selection screen.

4. Turn off the system; then, remove all ServeRAID adapters and

controllers except the first one on your list.

NOTE: If one of the ServeRAID controllers that you need

to remove is on the system board, you must do one of the

following:

o If the CD-ROM drive that you are using to install

your operating system is attached to the integrated

ServeRAID controller, disconnect or remove all disk

drives attached to the integrated controller.

o If only disk drives are attached to the integrated

controller, disconnect the SCSI cable from the

ServeRAID connector on the system board. See the

label inside the server cover for the location of the

ServeRAID connector.

5. Remove all other non-ServeRAID IDE and SCSI disk-storage

adapters and controllers.

NOTE: If one of the disk-storage controllers that you

need to remove is on the system board, you must do one of

the following:

o If the CD-ROM drive that you are using to install

your operating system is attached to the integrated

disk-storage controller, disconnect or remove all

disk drives attached to the integrated controller.

o If only disk drives are attached to the integrated

controller, disconnect the cable for the integrated

controller from the IDE or SCSI connector on the

system board. See the label inside the server cover

for the location of the IDE or SCSI controller

connector.

6. Follow the instructions in "Installing the Files while

Installing UnixWare" in section 3.10; then, return here and

continue with step 7.

7. Power down the system.

8. Install any non-ServeRAID disk-storage adapters or

o If you are using SCO OpenServer or UnixWare:

1. Type:

/usr/bin/ipsmon

2. Press ENTER.

3.40 Using the IPSMON Program

--------------------------------------

When you start this monitoring program, it immediately begins

polling all ServeRAID adapters and controllers for specific

conditions. If a condition being monitored is found, this program

logs a message to the monitor, to a file, or to both the monitor and

a file.

The IPSMON program uses command-line parameters to determine where

to log the messages. If you need help, you can type the "IPSMON -?"

command for a list of valid parameters.

If you start this program without any command-line parameters, the

IPSMON program will log the messages to the IPSMON.LOG file, and the

messages will not appear on the monitor.

The valid parameters for IPSMON are:

o -F:FILENAME

Use the -f parameter to specify the name of the file in which to

record messages. The default file name is IPSMON.LOG.

o -S

Use the -s parameter to display messages on the standard output

(usually the monitor).

o -?

Use the -? parameter to obtain a current list of valid

parameters.

After you start the IPSMON program, the program will continuously

poll the ServeRAID adapters and controllers until you take one of

the following actions:

o If you are using Windows NT or OS/2, press CTRL+C to stop the

program.

o If you are using NetWare, type: "unload c:\nwserver\ipsmon" at

the system console to stop the program.

o If you are using OpenServer or UnixWare, press the DEL key to

stop the program.

During operation, the program will log various messages. Each

message will contain an alert code and a location specifier.

o The alert code begins with the message type and number. For

example, INF, WRN, or CRT, followed by the message number.

o After the alert code comes the location specifier:

A specifies the adapter or controller number

SID specifies the SCSI ID (if required)

C specifies the channel number (if required)

For example, a message of CRTxxx:A2C3SID04 signifies that a

Critical condition (CRTxxx) was found on Adapter 2 (A2), Channel

3 (C3), SCSI ID 4 (SID04).

The IPSMON program can log the following messages, based on the

required condition.

INFORMATION MESSAGES:

<Date and Time> INF000:A1C-SID-- no errors detected

<Date and Time> INF001:A1C-SID-- rebuild started

<Date and Time> INF002:A1C-SID-- rebuild completed

<Date and Time> INF003:A1C-SID-- synchronization started

<Date and Time> INF004:A1C-SID-- synchronization completed
