SOFTWARE INSTALLATION FOR
LINUX REDHAT AND SUSE SERVERS
Step 1 Boot your machine and login as root.
Step 2 If X-windows is not running, type startx.
Step 3 Insert the CD labeled MyStorage Software.
Step 4 If Linux does not automount the CD, open
terminal window and at the prompt (#) type
# mkdir /mnt/cdrom
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
Step 5 Execute the MyStorage Installer for Linux (.bin)
located in the CD’s top directory. Follow the
prompts.
Step 6 Installation of Linux drivers from the Source RPM:
Install the source RPM by typing
# rpm -ivh mptlinux-<version>-
<release>.<arch>.src.rpm
The following files should be placed on your
system:
Red Hat users:
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/mptlinux-
<version>-<releas
e>.<arch>.tar
.gz
and /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/mptlinux-<version>-
<release>.<arch>.spec
SuSE users:
/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/mptlinux-
<version>.tar.gz and
/usr/src/packages/SPECS/mptlinux.spec
Step 7 Change to the directory where the
mptlinux.spec file was installed.
On Red Hat this is
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS.
On SuSE this is
# cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS.
Use the rpmbuild utility to build the binary RPM.
This is done with the following command:
# rpmbuild -bb mptlinux.spec
Step 8 When the build is finished, the RPM will be
located at
For Red Hat: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386.
For SuSE: /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386.
Install the binary RPM. This is done by typing the
command
# rpm -ivh mptlinux-<version>-
<release>.<arch>.rpm
Step 9 Launch MyStorage by typing
# cd /opt/LSILogic/MyStorage
# ./MyStorage
Note:The default security password is lsistorage (all
lower case).
SOLARIS SPARC DRIVER INSTALLATION
Step 1 Boot your machine and login as root.
Step 2 Insert the CD labeled MyStorage Software.
Step 3 Open terminal window, and type
# volcheck
# tar -xvf /cdrom/drivers/solaris/
sparc/itmpt_install_v500700.tar
# pkgadd -d install
Step 4 Follow all additional on-screen instructions.
DRIVER INSTALLATION FOR NETWARE
Step 1 Begin the OS installation as detailed in the file
server installation chapter of the Novell NetWare
installation manual.
Step 2 When prompted for the storage driver, insert the
MyStorage CD. Press the INS key twice to select
an unlisted driver. A dialog box appears. Press
the F3 key and enter this CD path:
/drivers/netware
Select the driver named LsiMptNw.ham.
Step 3 Load a separate instance of the driver for each
Fibre Channel port installed in the system.
Step 4 When prompted, accept ALL slot assignments.
Step 5 When asked to edit the STARTUP.NCF file, verify
that a slot entry exists for each Fibre Channel
port:
SLOT=<slot number>
Verify the slot numbers written down in Step 4.
The HAM driver(s) are then sequentially loaded
for each LSI Logic FC port from the first LOAD
statement to the last LOAD statement.
