After having exposed the installation of the ICP Controller as well as that of the Host Drives

in chapters B and C, we would now like to give you some hints and pieces of advice on how

to install the operating system UnixWare version 2.x.

The structure of the Host Drives, which have been installed with GDTSETUP (in chapter C),

is not known to UNIX. I.e., the operating system does not recognize that a given Host Drive

consists of a number of hard disks forming a disk array. To UNIX, this Host Drive simply

appears as one single hard disk with the capacity of the disk array. This complete transpa-

rency represents the easiest way to operate disk arrays under UNIX; neither UNIX nor the

PCI computer need to be involved in the administration of these complex disk array confi-

gurations.

In the following description, we shall explain the installation of UnixWare in connection

with the ICP Controller step by step. Apart from the UnixWare floppy disks, the CD-ROM

and the UnixWare documentation, you also need the GDT floppy disk:

UnixWare BTLD-Disk

In the following discussion, when we speak of a boot drive we refer to the drive which is first

integrated upon system power up. For the ICP Controller, this drive is the first Host Drive in

the list of GDT Host Drives, i. e. the Host Drive with number 0 (see GDTSETUP menu Confi-

gure Host-Drives). During the installation you will have to decide whether you want the ICP

Controller to make the boot drive available, or whether you want to operate the ICP Con-

troller as an additional controller in the computer system. If the ICP Controller is the only

hard disk controller in the computer system, it will automatically make the boot drive avai-

lable.

If there are more hard disk controllers, the controller which makes the first drive (the drive

containing the MS-DOS partition C:) available will be the boot controller. If the ICP Con-

troller does not make the boot drive, you can skip the following paragraph.

First initialize a hard disk connected to the ICP Controller (using GDTSETUP under DOS)

and install it as a Host Drive (see chapters C and M "Configure Host Drives"). If there are

several ICP Controllers in the system, this Host Drive must be connected to the first ICP

Controller found during a cold boot. In addition, the GDT BIOS must be enabled and the

SCSI-ID of the corresponding GDT SCSI channel must be set to 7.

Now you can begin the installation. Boot the system with the first UnixWare boot disk.

UnixWare scans the system for host adapters. When requested insert the GDT UnixWare

BTLD-Disk. The installation procedure which follows then has to be carried out as described

in the UnixWare documentation.

Important note: As already mentioned in chapter B “Hardware Installation”, the assignment

of an IRQ to an INT is made by the PCI System BIOS. The UnixWare versions 2.xy and higher

automatically recognize the IRQ of a PCI expansion card.
