specify the same path throughout the installation
process.
3. Press ENTER; then, from the operating-system prompt in the
SERVER.312 directory, type:
copy a:\netware\ipsadm.nlm
NOTE: The a represents the drive assignment for the
diskette drive that contains the ServeRAID diskette.
4. Press ENTER.
___________________________________________________________________
3.40 Installing the Files while Installing NetWare 4.1X or 5.0
----------------------------------------------------------------
Use the instructions provided in the NetWare 4.1X or 5.0 manual
along with the following instructions to install the ServeRAID
device driver, background-server component, and Administration and
Monitoring Program files while installing NetWare version 4.1X or
5.0
1. Use the instructions provided in the NetWare manual to begin the
installation.
2. When the "Choose the Server Drivers - Disk Driver" prompt
appears during the install process, insert the IBM ServeRAID
Device Driver Diskette into the diskette drive.
3. Select SELECT ADDITIONAL OR MODIFY SELECTED DISK/LAN DRIVERS.
4. If IPSRAID appears, select DESELECT A SELECTED DRIVER.
5. Select SELECT AN ADDITIONAL DRIVER; then, press the INS
(Insert) key to add an unlisted new device driver.

different path.
9. In the SPECIFY A DIRECTORY PATH field,
if installing with NetWare 4.1x, type:
a:\netware
if installing with NetWare 5.x, type:
a:\netware5
10. When prompted to select a driver to install, select IPSRAID.HAM.
11. Select YES when prompted to copy the IPSRAID.HAM driver.
12. When the prompt appears to specify the server boot path, type:
c:\nwserver
NOTES:
a. This instruction assumes that you installed NetWare in
its default directory. If you did not install NetWare in
the NWSERVER directory on drive C, modify step 12
accordingly.
b. If any of the files you are installing already exist on
the server, NetWare will prompt you to save the older files.
Although it is not necessary to save the older files, it
usually is a good idea.
13. After the installation program copies all files, you can
edit parameters (such as the ServeRAID slot number) from the
Driver IPSRAID Parameter Actions screen.
14. After you edit the parameters, select SAVE PARAMETERS AND
LOAD DRIVER to load the ServeRAID device driver.
15. Press ESC to exit the installation screens.
NOTE: If you want NetWare to load the ServeRAID device driver
automatically during startup, you must add the appropriate
LOAD command (for example, "load ipsraid.ham slot=1") to the
NetWare startup command file (usually
C:\NWSERVER\STARTUP.NCF).
4.0 Installing Device Drivers for OS/2
_______________________________________
This section provides two sets of instructions for installing the
ServeRAID device driver: one that you can use during the initial
OS/2 installation and one that you can use if OS/2 already is
installed.
The ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Program files and
background-server component for OS/2 install automatically when you
install the ServeRAID device driver for OS/2.
4.10 Installing the Files while Installing OS/2
------------------------------------------------
You can use the following instructions to install the ServeRAID
device driver and Administration and Monitoring Program files while
installing OS/2 Warp Server.
NOTE: If you install these files on a logical drive that has
its write policy set to the write-back mode, wait at least 10
seconds after being prompted to press CTRL+ALT+DEL before you
actually press the keys. Waiting 10 seconds or longer gives
the ServeRAID adapter or controller the time needed to flush
all dirty-cache pages out to the hard disk.
To install the ServeRAID files while installing OS/2:
1. Make a copy of the OS/2 Warp Diskette 1 and label it Copy of
OS/2 Diskette 1.
2. Copy the IPSRAID.ADD file from the OS2 directory on the IBM
ServeRAID Device Driver Diskette to the Copy of OS/2 Diskette 1.
If there is not enough space, delete files not needed in your
installation (such as proprietary CD-ROM or SCSI device
drivers). Make sure you remove all entries referring to any
device drivers you delete from the CONFIG.SYS file.
3. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the Copy of OS/2 Diskette 1 to
add the following lines:
BASEDEV=IPSRAID.ADD
SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1
4. Install OS/2, but when prompted to insert diskette 1, use
the updated Copy of OS/2 Diskette 1.
5. After you complete the OS/2 installation, insert the IBM
ServeRAID Device Driver Diskette.
6. From an OS/2 window, type:
a:
NOTE: The a represents the drive assignment for the
diskette drive that contains the ServeRAID diskette.
7. Press ENTER. Then, type:
ddinstal
8. Press ENTER.
The OS/2 Device Driver Installation window will appear and
prompt you for the source and destination drives. The source
directory shows where to insert the IBM ServeRAID Device Driver
Diskette. The destination directory shows where the program
will copy the device driver files.
9. Click on INSTALL.
o The program copies the following ServeRAID device driver
and program files to the OS/2 subdirectory on your hard
disk: IPSRAID.ADD, IPSADM.EXE, and IPSRADM.EXE.
o The program copies the ServeRAID IPSRADM.HLP Help file to
the \OS2\HELP directory.
10. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and verify that there is only one
copy of the line BASEDEV=IPSRAID.ADD.
NOTES:
a. If you have more than one ServeRAID or SCSI adapter in
your system, make sure that the BASEDEV statement for the
adapter controlling the startup (boot) device appears before
the BASEDEV statements for other ServeRAID or SCSI adapters
in the CONFIG.SYS file.
b. After you install any service packs, check the path for
the IPSRAID.ADD device driver and verify that the correct
device driver is installed.
11. Restart the server.
4.20 Installing the Files after Installing OS/2
------------------------------------------------
You can use the following instructions to install the ServeRAID
device driver and Administration and Monitoring Program files after
installing OS/2 Warp Server.
To install the ServeRAID files after installing OS/2:
1. After you complete the OS/2 installation, insert the IBM
ServeRAID Device Driver Diskette.
2. From an OS/2 window, type:
a:
NOTES:
a. The a represents the drive assignment for the diskette
drive that contains the ServeRAID diskette.
b. If you install these files on a logical drive that has
its write policy set to the write-back mode, wait at least
10 seconds after being prompted to press CTRL+ALT+DEL before
you actually press the keys. Waiting 10 seconds or longer
gives the ServeRAID adapter or controller the time needed to
flush all dirty-cache pages out to the hard disk.
3. Press ENTER. Then, type:
ddinstal
4. Press ENTER.
The OS/2 Device Driver Installation window will appear and
prompt you for the source and destination drives. The source
directory shows where to insert the IBM ServeRAID Device Driver
Diskette. The destination directory shows where the program
will copy the device driver files.
5. Click on INSTALL.
o The program copies the following ServeRAID device driver
statement to your CONFIG.SYS file: BASEDEV=IPSRAID.ADD
o The program copies the following ServeRAID device driver
and program files to the OS/2 subdirectory on your hard
disk: IPSRAID.ADD, IPSADM.EXE, and IPSRADM.EXE
o The program copies the following ServeRAID Help file to
the \OS2\HELP directory: IPSRADM.HLP
6. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and verify that there is only one
copy of the line BASEDEV=IPSRAID.ADD.
NOTES:
a. If you have more than one ServeRAID or SCSI adapter in
your system, make sure that the BASEDEV statement for the
adapter controlling the startup (boot) device appears before
the BASEDEV statements for other ServeRAID or SCSI adapters
in the CONFIG.SYS file.
b. After you install any service packs, check the path for
the IPSRAID.ADD device driver and verify that the correct
device driver is installed.
7. Restart the server.
4.30 Starting the Administration and Monitoring Program
--------------------------------------------------------
To start the ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Program for
OS/2:
1. Go to the OS/2 subdirectory on the hard disk drive; then, type:
"ipsradm" /lf=d:\path\logfile
NOTES:
a. Make sure that the path you type exists. The program
will not create a path.
b. Logfile is where the program will log messages.
c. If you omit the /lf parameter, the program will create the
IPSRADM.LOG default file in the OS2 subdirectory to log the
program messages.
2. Press ENTER.
3. Use the following steps if you want to define IPSRADM to OS/2:
a. Open the Templates Folder on the OS/2 Desktop.
b. Drag a program template onto the Desktop. A Program
Settings window will appear.
c. At the Program page in the PATH AND FILE NAME field, type:
c:\os2\ipsradm.exe
d. In the PARAMETERS field, type:
/lf=d:\path\logfile
e. At the General Tab in the TITLE field, type:
ServeRAID
