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.

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.

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
controllers in the server; then, attach the drives to the

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
