Current System Configuration :

• Acer ATX Motherboard with Adaptec SCSI onboard

Now the fun stuff :

Insert floppy 1, and CD and restart Server.  (Bios must be set for bootable floppy first, then CD.

Proceed in English.

Insert 2nd diskette  (F1 = Help,    F10 = Next,   F9 = Previous)

American Zone, F10

C (English) Locale, F10

US Keyboard, F10

F8 to defer licensing and get 60 day evalulation, unless you have a license

Yes to confirm, Enter

F10 to go without HBA

Dont do DCU

NodeName : uw7

Install from CDRom, F10

Customize File Systems

Disk setup parameters for my 3.0 Gig drive  :

  Slice Name                        Slice Type                    Slice Size

/	vxfs	700 Mb
/stand	bfs	20 Mb
/dev/swap	slice	128 Mb
/dev/dump	slice	64 Mb
/home	vxfs	200 Mb
/home2	off
/var	vxfs	500 Mb
/tmp	memfs	10 Mb
/var/tmp	memfs	40 Mb
/dev/volprivate	slice	1 Mb

All others remain default

• Customize disk options. (yes to bootsector, no to rest)
• Choose "Full" for all packages (358.14 Mb)
• Select network adapter (choose the 3c905 )
• Network configuration parameters :


 

• IP : 192.168.2.20
• Mask : 255.255.0.0
• Broadcast : 192.168.255.255
• Default Router : 192.168.3.1
• Domain : pluzzi.com
• DNS : none
• Frame Type : Ethernet_II
• IPX : F8 to defer
• NIS : F8 to defer

• Set Date and Time
• Security : Traditional (anything more is c2 or better, but what a pain in the ass to use !!!)
• Owner Name : Paul A. Luzzi
• login : admin
• owner id : 101
• password : ********
• root password : ********
• F10 about optional services
• Accept License Agreement
• F10 for last chance to make adjustments to settings

Now for the standard stuff :

• Modify/etc/default/su tocomment out line about CONSOLE.
• Insert Skunkware cd (shipped in media kit), and mount.
• run "pkgadd -d /cdrom"
• Choose the following packages : (this is SO much easier than recompiling all this crap myself !!!)
• gzip
• tcl802
• tk802
• xdir
• glib
• xhtml

• Bring the /usr/local/slice directory over from another machine. At this point it was on /usr8/slice on sco. Run the slice utility there. It is a tk widget that makes slicing the disk a little bit easier.
• Add a slice (c or 12) for 2048000 blocks (1 Gig) starting at sector 3389715.
• Add a slice (d or 13) for 3028500 blocks ( just under 1.5 Gig) starting at sector 5437715.
• Using mkfs, we must build the filesystems first. I used vxfs and defaults of 1024 block size, 81920 files.
• Syntax is "mkfs -Fvxfs /dev/rdsk/c0b0t0d0sc 2048000"
• mkdir /usr2 and /oracle
• Using scoadmin, filesystems, mount the two filesystems, and allow remount at startup.

• Had to set ulimit to unlimited in /etc/profile.
• pkgrm and find the entry for visionfs.  We need to remove this for use with FacetWin.
• Get hosts file from sco and bring over to uw7.
• Reboot and do a dfspace to make sure that the filesystems are correct and ping some of the other machines before going any further. This stuff has to all be correct before continuing.
• Make a directory called /var/logs, and copy /var/mail/root to /var/logs/mail-root.orig. This way we will always know which packages were installed and the status of them at that time.
• cp /dev/null to /var/mail/root, to clear mail for root.
• Now install the digi :
• Make sure that the digi board is placed in the machine.
• Insert disk 1 into drive
• execute "pkgadd -d diskette1"
• add the software and reboot
• Upon successful reboot, run mpi
• choose config
• choose install
• digi Xem
• Parameters are :
• 1 board
• Digi_Acceleport_Xem_PCI
• auto
• 1
• no
• F5 to continue
• PORTS Module 1 = PORTS/16em
• F5 to continue

• Alt Pin should be enabled
• F5 to continue
• Yes to load the driver

At this point, you will get a report of id's of 47 and 48 for modules epca and epc1. I noticed that the step that should auto name, is not saved correctly, so after a good successful reboot, I booted to single user mode and changed it again. This then fixed it, but on reboot, the numbers are now 16 and 17.

• create a file in /etc/conf/init.d called sio, (like the OpenServer 5.0.4 box) to contain any serial io that is not done thru ttymons.
• Must stop and remove the ARCServe utility to be able to use the SCSI tape drives, because the ARCServe overrides the drivers and in fact blocks the drives from usage. To do this do :
• sh /etc/rc2.d/S69ARCserve stop
• mv /etc/rc2.d/S69ARCserve /etc/rc2.d/oS69ARCserve
• Install FacetWin :
• Insert the FacetWin (build 324 or newer !!!)
• must have a /cdrom directory already created
• cd /
• mount cdrom with "mount -Fcdfs -r -o rrip /dev/cdrom/c0b0t5l0 /cdrom"
• cd /cdrom/facetwin/unixware
• sh install.sh
• Optional parameters are as follows:
• workgroup = workgroup
• replace name/dgram/session server = yes
• replace pop3 server = no
• upon completion unmount cdrom by going to root directory and typing "umount /cdrom"
• One final reboot to check everything out.

And ALWAYS make a backup.
