This Section details the complete procedure
for installing EasyIO in a SCO UNIX, SCO XENIX, UnixWare, SVR4 and Interactive
UNIX environment.
Hardware Installation
Hardware Installation Reference
Easyadm Reference
Notes:
If your installation is non-standard, or you need information on using
the Unix installation utility Easyadm, refer to the additional
information outlined in the Easyadm
Reference.
Easyadm ensures trouble-free board configuration
because the selected configuration is validated, so the UNIX re-build
works the first time. The board setup procedure is also simplified.
The correct switch settings are displayed for EasyIO boards with switches.
Installing
EasyIO Software
On SVR4 systems including UnixWare and Solaris,
before you install EasyIO you must first install Streams (if not already
installed). If you are running TCP/IP, then Streams will already be
installed. With UnixWare 2.0, ISA boards must be installed
using the EISA configuration utility.
For example, to install Streams on a SCO Unix
system, type mkdev streams at the root prompt, re-link the kernel, and
reboot the system.
On Solaris systems, you must remove any
previous version of the ATA driver before installing the new driver.
The Software is composed of two parts:
- The Drivers
- The Configuration Manager (easyadm)
Install the EasyIO software using the package
installation facility included with your operating system.
1. Install the EasyConnection software
using the package installation facility included
with your operating system:
SCO OpenServer5. Perform the following:
1. Login as root
2. Run custom
3. Select Install New ...
4. Select Host, then CD.
5. Select the product to install (ATA/TruPort)
6. Install all and follow the directions.
NOTE: Only Openserver versions 5.0.4c
and later support installing from the CD. For earlier versions, please
create a driver diskette.
OpenDesktop/SCO Unix 3.2v4 or earlier.
Software cannot be installed directly from the CD-ROM. The software
must be installed from a diskette. To create a diskette, perform the
following:
1. Login as root
2. Run mount /dev/cd0 /mnt
3. Run /mnt/make_floppy.sh and follow the directions
4. When finished, run umount /mnt
Solaris To install the software,
perform the following:
1. Login as root
2. Run admintool
3. Select Browse > Software
4. Select Edit > Add.
5. Select the CD-ROM drive with Volume Management, and follow
the directions.
Unixware/SVR4 To install the
software, perform the following:
1. Login as root
2. Run mount /dev/cdrom/c0b0t1l0 /mnt
3. Run pkdadd -d /mnt/Unixware
All other operating systems.
Software cannot be installed from the CD-ROM under any other operating
system. To install software, use an alternate operating system to
build the diskette.
1. Install as a new package using
the diskette supplied.
2. Easyadm normally runs
automatically during installation. However, on some OS
you will be asked to run it when the installation
completes.
