Installing the IBM Subsystem Device Driver
The following instructions explain how to install the IBM Subsystem Device Driver
from a compact disc. You can use the IBM Subsystem Device Driver in conjunction
with the IBM Copy Services command-line interface program.
1. Type ps -ef | grep vold to ensure that the volume manager is running.
This command displays the /usr/sbin/vold process. If it does not display, type
/etc/init.d/volmgt start
2. Insert the IBM Subsystem Device Driver CD into the CD-ROM drive.
A File Manager window opens showing the paths for the Subsystem Device
Driver package subdirectories. Figure 58 shows an example of the path.
Note: You must be on the host console to see this window.
3. Change to the subdirectory that contains the Subsystem Device Driver
package.
a. For Sun host hardware platforms limited to 32-bit mode and for all Sun
host systems running Solaris 2.6, type:
cd /cdrom/unnamed_cdrom/Sun32bit
b. For Sun host hardware platforms with 64-bit capabilities running Solaris 7
or Solaris 8, type:
cd /cdrom/unnamed_cdrom/Sun64bit
4. Type pkgadd -d to initiate the Package Add menu.
5. Select the option number for the IBM DPO driver (IBMdpo), and press Enter.
6. Select y to continue the installation for all prompts until the package installation
is complete.
7. Select q and press Enter to exit the package options menu.
8. Type cd to change back to the root directory.
9. Type eject cdrom and press Enter to remove the Subsystem Device Driver
CD.
10. Edit the .profile file in the root directory, and add the lines shown in Figure 59
to include the IBM DPO subdirectory in the system path.
11. Restart the host system to add the IBM DPO driver subdirectory automatically
to the path.
/cdrom/unnamed_cdrom
