Before installing a new version of the driver, delete the previous
version of the driver. Note that any filesystems, volume groups
and SCSI devices must be removed before removing the driver.
Be sure to have a complete backup of all data before attempting
to update the driver. The command to remove the driver is:

installp -u <name>.driver.obj


where name is one of

MC1000, PC1000, q2100, q2100m,

q2200

or

q2200m

depending on the type of card and previous

driver version.

The new driver may be installed on the system with the
command:

installp -acd <device> all
