Preparing the Host System 3–7
Fresh Install
Perform a fresh install if you do not have a Cambex driver or StorageWorks software
installed on your system by completing the following steps:
1. Change the directory to where you have the StorageWorks CD-ROM mounted, for
example:
cd /cdrom
2. Issue the command: ./INSTALL.
The script to install the Cambex driver and the StorageWorks software will begin. You
will also be provided the option to install the SWCC agent.
3. If your machine has over one gigabyte of memory, then the install automatically looks
for adapter devices and change the parameter.
The first part of the script installs and configures the Cambex driver, including:
■ Installing the driver package.
■ Issuing a bosboot command.
■ Checking your memory size.
A typical install is shown below.
Checking OS Revision...OK
Checking for previous Cambex driver...OK
Installing Cambex Driver...OK
Issuing bosboot Command...OK
Checking memory size...OK
Looking for adapter devices...OK *
Changing DMA window on adapter devices to 64M...OK *
NOTE: The two lines with an * next to them are lines that may or may not appear depending on
how much memory your system has.
The next part of the script installs the HSG80 ODM files, including
■ Adding the ODM files to the ODM database.
■ Executing a bosboot command.
■ Finally, displaying the HSG80 devices that it found.
