Distribution File Install

If you received the drivers in an itis_install.tar.Z file:

1.

Uncompress and un-tar the itis_install.tar.Z file by typing the
following commands in order to create a directory named
install:

uncompress itis_install.tar.Z

tar -xvf itis_install.tar

cd install

2.

Execute the install.sh shell script to add the ITHPS and ITSPS
drivers to the operating system:

/install.sh

3.

The ITHPS and ITSPS device drivers are now installed.
Reboot the machine to reconfigure the system and to
recognize the new devices.

Note: If you change the disk drive configuration of your machine, it may

be necessary to issue the command:

touch /reconfigure

and then reboot the system in order for the system to detect and
correctly install your new disks.

Network Installation Procedure

If you are using your IntraServer adapter to support your SPARC™ Solaris
system disk, you must install the Solaris operating system using a network
install. This section describes a complete installation of Solaris to a client
system using IntraServer SCSI adapters for the system disk. The method
described in this section allows you to install the IntraServer ITSPS and
ITHPS drivers onto a network boot kit, making them available during the
SPARC™ installation script.

If you are simply installing an IntraServer adapter as an additional storage
adapter in an existing system, use the driver installation procedure described
in the previous section.

Setting up a Boot/Install Server

Refer to the “Preparing to Install Solaris Software Over the Network” section
of the Solaris Advanced Installation Guide, available at
