This section provides the LSImptsl driver installation instructions for new and existing systems.

8.1.3.1 New System Installation

Follow the steps below to install the LSImptsl driver diskette on a new Solaris (Intel Platform Edition) system. If booting from a Solaris Device Configuration Assistant Diskette, make sure to use the diskette

appropriate for the release of Solaris 8.

Step 1. Insert the boot media and boot the system. For network installations, verify with the system administrator that the Solaris Network Installation image is available on the network.

Step 2. Choose F4_Add Driver when the Solaris Device Configuration Assistant screen appears.

The message “Enumerating buses...” appears. Then, the Install Driver Update screen appears.

Step 3. Remove the diskette and insert the Solaris Driver ITU diskette.

Step 4. Press F2_Continue.

The Select Solaris System Version screen appears.

Step 5. Select the appropriate Solaris operating system, and press F2_Continue.

The Loading Driver Update Software screen appears, along with a progress bar that shows the percentage of drivers that have been extracted from the diskette. When the new drivers on the diskette have loaded, the Continue Driver Update Installation screen appears.

Step 6. Repeat Step 3 to Step 5 until all the needed Solaris Driver ITU diskettes are installed.

Step 7. Remove the Solaris Driver ITU diskette. If you booted from the Solaris Device Configuration Assistant Diskette, reinsert it into the diskette drive.

Important: Do not remove the Solaris Device Configuration Assistant Diskette from the drive until the systems displays the following message:

“If you want to bypass the device configuration and boot screens when the system reboots, eject the Device Configuration Assistant/Boot diskette now.”

Step 8. Press F2_Continue.

The Solaris Device Configuration Assistant screen appears.

Step 9. Press F2_Continue.

The message “Enumerating buses...” appears.

The system scan the devices and displays the

Scanning Devices screen. When finished, the system displays the Identified Devices screen.

Step 10. Press F2_Continue.

The system displays a “Loading driver...” message and messages about required drivers. After a few seconds, the system displays the Boot Solaris screen.

Step 11. Select the device controller attached to the device that contains the installation medium.

Step 12. Press F2_Continue.

The system displays the drivers for the selected device controller. The system starts the installation program and boots

Step 13. The following messages appear and prompt for each of the Solaris Driver ITU diskette(s) :

“Installing unbundled device driver support Extracting driver list from tree..

<ITU diskette name> driver-name...

Please insert the Driver Update diskette labeled

<ITU diskette name>

Press <ENTER> when ready.”

Step 14. Remove the Solaris Device Configuration Assistant Diskette.

Step 15. Re-insert the LSImptslDrive ITU diskette and press Enter.

The system installs packages and/or patches that contain the new drivers from the diskette.

Step 16. The system prompts:

Please insert the Driver Update diskette labeled

<LSImptsl>

Press Enter when ready.

Step 17. Insert the LSImptsl Driver ITU diskette into the floppy drive.

Step 18. The system prompts to create a new instance of the LSImptsl package. Respond “n” and press Enter.

Step 19. The system prompts overwrite the existing instance of LSImptsl driver. Respond “y” and press Enter.

Step 20. If drivers on other Solaris Driver ITU diskettes are required, remove the Driver ITU diskette from the diskette drive, insert the next driver ITU diskette when the system prompts for it, and press Enter.

Step 21. Repeat Step 20 until all the required drivers are installed.

When the installation completes, the system displays: “Installation complete.”

Step 22. Remove the diskette from the diskette drive.

Step 23. Reboot the system.

When the Solaris operating environment has finished booting and is running, the new devices are available for use.

8.1.3.2 Existing System Installation

Before adding new or updated drivers, install and configure new hardware devices according to the instructions in the corresponding Device Reference Page.

When the Solaris Intel Platform Edition software is already installed, the simplest way to add new or updated drivers is to install the LSImptsl driver diskettes as patches. For more information about managing diskettes and drives, see the System Administration Guide.

To add new or updated drivers, follow these steps:

Step 1. Go to the root directory.

Step 2. To see if the Volume Management software is running on the machine that you are updating, type:

# ps -ef | grep vold

Step 3. To stop Volume Management temporarily if it is running, type:

# /etc/init.d/volmgt stop

Step 4. Insert the Solaris Driver ITU diskette into the diskette drive.

Step 5. Mount the Solaris Driver ITU diskette at the/mntmount point:

# mount -F pcfs /dev/diskette /mnt

You must mount the Solaris Driver ITU diskette at this point in the file structure to update the system successfully.

Step 6. Execute the install script on the diskette:

# /mnt/DU/sol_28/i86pc/Tools/install.sh -i

Theinstall.shscript searches for all new or updated drivers on the diskette. When a new or updated driver is found, this prompt appears:

Unconditionally installing ITUs <ITU driver names>

Do you want to create a new instance of this package [y, n, ?, q]

Step 7. If the driver is the one that you want to install, type “y” or press Enter. If the driver is not the one you want to install, type “n.”

If you specify yes, theinstall.shscript installs the indicated driver as well as thebootmod andbootbinpatches.

Step 8. When the installation completes and theinstall.sh script extis, unmount the diskette by typing:

# cd /

# umount /mnt

Step 9. Remove the Solaris Driver ITU diskette from the diskette drive.

Step 10. Reboot your machine by typing:

# reboot

Step 11. If you have not already done so, turn off your system, add the new hardware, and reboot your system.

Step 12. At the << Current Boot Parameters >> prompt, type:

b -r

to force reconfiguration of the machine.

The new devices are available for use when the Solaris operating environment finishes booting and is running.
