Installing RAID Drivers Using the 2003Reburn Script

The Sun Fire X2100 Server Supplemental CD (705-1364) contains a script that allows
you to create a new Windows 2003 CD with the necessary RAID drivers. After
creating the new CD, you can boot it and install Windows 2003 normally. This new
CD automatically installs the drivers, making it unnecessary to use a USB diskette
drive and to install the NVRAID drivers.

For specific and current information on the 2003Reburn script, see the description
at the top of the script. If you have version 1.3 of the Supplemental CD, the script is
in the

/utilities/reburn

directory. On earlier versions of the Supplemental

CD, the script was in the

/utilities/reburn

directory.

To install Windows 2003 using a RAID configuration, you need the following:

A system running Solaris Operating System for x86 Platforms, Solaris Operating
System (SPARC® Platform Edition), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 or 4, or SUSE
Linux Enterprise System (SLES) 9

Access to a CD burner

A blank CD-R or CD-RW

A Windows 2003 CD (retail media only—not an OEM version)

An Sun Fire X2100 Server Supplemental CD

To create a Windows 2003 CD with the Sun Fire X2100 Server drivers:

1. On a Solaris x86, Solaris OS (SPARC Platform Edition), Red Hat Enterprise Linux

3 or 4, or SLES 9 system, insert the Sun Fire X2100 Server Supplemental CD into a
CD or DVD drive.

2. As superuser, create a temporary directory with at least 1.2 GB of space.

For example:

# mkdir /files
