IBM* SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Streaming-RAID Adapter/A RAID Option Diskette V2.31 Diskette 1 of 2 IBM* SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Streaming-RAID Adapter/A Device Driver and Administration Utility Installation Diskette 1 - RAID Configuration, OS/2*, Novell NetWare**, and Banyan VINES** Support INITIAL SETUP AND CONFIGURATION Tower Configuration: Streaming-RAID Adapter/A displays various messages regarding the status of drives managed by the RAID Adapter. These messages state the actual bay location where the drive is physically located. Furthermore, it treats stack of seven drives as a tower of drives where the drive location at the top is bay 1 and drive location at the bottom is bay 7. Streaming-RAID Adapter/A can be configured to manage 1 or 2 towers during system setup configuration time. It must be configured as 2 towers when each tower is connected to a SCSI channel. It must be configured as 1 tower in the PS/2 Server 95/A Systems when both SCSI channels are connected to the internal bays. Following are the mapping of drive SCSI ID and channel-bay number used in various messages. Two Towers ----------- Channel no Bay no Channel no SCSI-ID (PUN) ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 1 1 0 1 2 1 1 1 3 1 2 1 4 1 3 1 5 1 4 1 6 1 5 1 7 1 6 2 1 2 0 2 2 2 1 2 3 2 2 2 4 2 3 2 5 2 4 2 6 2 5 2 7 2 6 ------------------------------------------------------------- One Towers ---------- Bay no Channel no SCSI-ID (PUN) ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 1 0 2 1 1 3 1 2 4 1 3 5 2 1 6 2 2 7 2 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Data Parity Exception Handling Support: System setup program will enable this only in systems that support this feature. INT 13 Support: If the boot device is connected to the IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Streaming RAID Adapter/A make sure that the INT 13 support of the Streaming-RAID Adapter/A is enabled. INT 13 support can be enabled/disabled during system setup time by selecting - Set configuration - Change configuration - and pressing F6. Systems that support boot from devices connected to the Streaming-RAID Adapter, the INT 13 support will be automatically set to enabled during system configuration. INT 13 support will be automatically set to disabled in systems that do not support boot from the Streaming-RAID Adapter/A and may not boot properly from other devices if it is set to enabled. NEW FUNCTIONS SUPPORTED IN RAID CONFIGURATION PROGRAM VERSION 2.20 1. View configuration function now shows non disk devices such as CDROM (CDR), Tape (TAP) and Optical (OPT) devices connected to the Streaming-RAID Adapter. 2. Test drive media surface function is added into the Advanced functions menu. OPERATING SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND RAID ADMINISTRATION INSTALLATION STEPS FOR OS/2 1. Follow instructions in the OS/2 to install OS/2 into the hard disk drive. OS/2 requires that the partition you are installing must be less than 2 GB for HPFS partition and less than 1 GB for FAT. The FDISK program will not show the size of the drive properly if they are greater than 2GB unless the device driver IBMRAID.ADD is loaded. To load the drive during installation copy the driver from OS2 subdirectory of the option diskette to copy of the OS/2 Diskette 1 and add BASEDEV=IBMRAID.ADD to CONFIG.SYS in OS/2 DIskette 1. If diskette 1 does not have enough diskette space to copy the driver, delete device drivers from diskette 1 that are not being used to make space for IBMRAID.ADD (make sure that you make a copy of diskette 1 before deleting any files). To make space in Diskette 1 delete following file from the copy of OS/2 Diskette 1: AHA152X.ADD, AHA154X.ADD. You also need to remove corresponding basedev statements from the CONFIG.SYS file. (Refer to Control Program GG24-3730-00 page 59 - 60 for detail explanation of the basedev statements in the CONFIG.SYS ). 2. Once OS/2 is installed, put this diskette in drive A. 3. Enter DDINSTAL from any OS/2 command prompt. 4. Select "IBM RAID Controller ADD installation" from the menu and install. DDINSTALL will insert "BASEDEV=IBMRAID.ADD" at the end of CONFIG.SYS file and will copy following files to OS2 subdirectory: IBMRAID.ADD // device driver RAIDADM.EXE // RAID Administration and monitor and following files to \OS2\HELP directory. RAIDADM.HLP // Help file for RAIDADM.EXE NOTE: You must have IBMSYSO.DLL in the current directory or in a directory specified in the LIBPATH statement in the CONFIG.SYS file. IBMSYSO.DLL is supplied as a part of NetFinity*. If you do not have IBMSYSO.DLL installed as part of NetFinity use the IBMSYSO.DLL file supplied in the OS/2 directory of this diskette. RAIDADM will fail to load if IBMSYSO.DLL is not in the path. 5. After restarting the system RAID administration can be started by entering RAIDADM [/lf=d:\path\logfile] at the OS2 subdirectory. where logfile is the file name where RAIDADM message will be logged. If /lf is omitted, a default logfile IBMRAID.LOG is created in the OS2 subdirectory. When /lf switch is used make sure that the drive d: and path \path exists. RAIDADM will not create a subdirectory if one does not exist. You can define RAIDADM to OS/2 by dragging a Program icon from the Templates folder to Desktop. In the Program - Settings notebook, on the Program page, enter the following: o Path and file name: c:\os2\raidadm.exe o Parameters: /lf=d:\path\logfile In the General page, enter RAID as the title and remove the tick mark from Template. NOTE: OS/2 CD-ROM INSTALLATION Make a copy of OS/2 Diskette 1 and use the copy of Diskette 1 to install OS/2. Copy IBMRAID.ADD from the OS2 subdirectory of the Streaming-RAID option diskette to copy of Diskette 1 and add following line BASEDEV=IBMRAID.ADD to CONFIG.SYS file in Diskette 1. If diskette 1 does not have enough diskette space to copy the driver, delete device drivers from diskette 1 that are not being used to make space for IBMRAID.ADD (make sure that you make a copy of diskette 1 before deleting any files). CD-ROM can be connected to any channel and can have SCSI-IDs 0 to 6 as long as it does not conflict with and other SCSI device IDs or bays (equivalent SCSI-ID) that is currently connected to Streaming-RAID Adapter/A. INSTALLATION STEPS FOR NetWare 3.1x 1. Prepare the hard disk drives of your server according to the instructions in the NetWare 386 manual. 2. Insert this diskette in drive A. 3. At DOS A: prompt type INSNWDRV d: and press Enter. Where d: is the drive from which you boot NetWare 386. INSNWDRV will copy IBMRAID.DSK // NW device driver to NetWare boot drive. Load driver by typing LOAD d:IBMRAID [LED] where d: is the NetWare boot drive. Type optional LED keyword to show I/O activity in the front panel if the system is equipped with one. 4. Login from a client with a diskette drive and insert this diskette in drive A. 5. At the A: prompt type INSNWADM d: and press Enter. Where d: is the drive mapped to SYS:\SYSTEM. INSNWADM will copy RAIDASP3.NLM // RAID ASPI driver for Ver 3.XX RAIDADM.NLM // RAID Administration to SYS:\SYSTEM. 6. At the NetWare server console prompt type LOAD RAIDASP3 // RAIDADM will not autoload RAIDASP3.DSK LOAD RAIDADM and press Enter. RAIDADM will auto load RAIDASPI.NLM. Up to four IBM RAID Adapters can be managed by the RAIDADM. You can press F1 key anytime to get on line help from the RAIDADM utility. INSTALLATION STEPS FOR NetWare 4.XX Follow instructions in the NetWare 4.XX manual. Following driver is needed to run 4.0 and is supplied in the NW400 subdirectory of this diskette. IBMRAID4.DSK // device driver for 4.0 Use RAIDADM.NLM supplied in the NW311 subdirectory to manage IBM RAID Adapter in NetWare 4.XX. Before loading RAIDADM.NLM you must load RAIDASP4.DSK. RAIDADM.NLM will not autoload RAIDASP4.DSK. INSTALLATION STEPS FOR Banyan VINES 1. Prepare the hard disk drives of your server according to instructions in Banyan Vines manual 2. Install Banyan Vines. 3. Login from a client. 4. Insert RAID support diskette in drive A: 5. Change to BAN directory by typing CD BAN and pressing Enter. 6. Type INSTALL and press Enter. 7.

Change to BAN subdirectory. 17. Type INSTADMB d: where d: is the server drive where the administration programs will reside. 18. The RAID administration can be started by typing RAIDADMB note 1: RAIDADMB creates a log file call IBMRAID.LOG in DISK1\LOCAL\_DACDMC\ directory. Where DISK1 is the disk used in step 13 above. All RAID monitor messages are logged in this file. You will need dosunix bridge installed and a drive mapped to DISK1 to access/view IBMRAID.LOG file. note 2: RAIDADMB uses the file RAIDADM.ADM to determine Streaming RAID Adapter tower configuration. You must properly set this file for proper log messages from RAIDADMB. Use any text editor to edit the first column of the file. Following example shows RAIDADM.ADM content when first Streaming RAID Adapter is configured as 2 towers, second adapter as 1 tower, third and forth adapters are as 2 towers and 1 tower respectively. You must also copy RAIDADM.ADM in the DISK1\LOCAL\_DACDMC\ directory for proper logging operation. Example of RAIDADM.ADM file. - col 1: number towers in the Adapter V 2 1 2 1 19. You can add user that will receive RAID monitor messages as follows: ADDUSER note: users that will receive monitor messages must be defined every time the service is started. 20. You can view users that will receive RAID monitor messages as follows: LISTUSER 21. You can delete a user from above list as follows: DELUSER INSTALLING DOS DRIVER FOR CD-ROM ACCESS: 1.
