Host Bus Adapter (HBA) Driver Supplement - megasas Driver version 2013.11.05 KEYWORDS: uw uw7 714 714+ 600 openserver osr6 unix unixware storage driver pci hba LSI MegaRAID Dell PERC DDI8 sata sas serial SCSI megasas RELEASE: SCO UnixWare Release 7.1.4+ SCO OpenServer Release 6.0.0 SCO UnixWare Release 7.1.4 PROBLEM: Need support for recent LSI MegaRAID SAS Host Adapters. SOLUTION: The megasas Driver Supplement provides the following driver: megasas - LSI MegaRAID SAS HBA Version 2013.11.05 Version 2013.11.05 of the megasas driver contains the latest support for LSI MegaRAID controllers and supersedes prior driver versions provided by LSI and Xinuos, including versions 1.0, 1.1, 4.05, and 5.03. This driver can be used during fresh installation of any supported UnixWare 7.1.4+, OpenServer 6, or UnixWare 7.1.4 system or can be applied to an existing system. Note that the UnixWare 7.1.4+ ISL includes this version of the driver, so it is not necessary to downlaod the driver image separately if you are installing from the UnixWare 7.1.4+ ISL CD. The megasas driver is provided in both hba.megasas.2013.11.05.image, a dd image of an HBA diskette, and hba.megasas.2013.11.05.iso, an ISO image of an HBA CDROM. Both images are available at the following URLs: ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/unixware7/714/drivers ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/openserver6/600/drivers Installation instructions are given below.

Installation While installing OpenServer 6 or UnixWare 7.1.4, be sure to insert the megasas Driver Supplement media before any HBA drivers supplied with your media kit. If you are planning on installing the driver from an HBA CD, then use the the following steps on an existing OpenServer 6 or UnixWare 7 system to create an HBA CD from the HBA ISO image file: 1. Become root and create a new directory by typing: $ su Password: # mkdir /tmp/hba # cd /tmp/hba 2. Download the hba.megasas.2013.11.05.iso file to the newly created /tmp/hba directory on your machine. 3. Make an megasas HBA CD from the iso file using this command: # cdrecord -v -dev=c,b,t -dao -driveropts=burnfree \ -speed=99 hba.megasas.2013.11.05.iso where c,b,t is taken from the output of cdrecord --scanbus 4. Use this megasas HBA CD during system installation. If you are planning on installing the driver from an HBA diskette, then use the following steps on an existing OpenServer 6 or UnixWare 7 system to create an HBA diskette from the HBA diskette image file: 1. Become root and create a new directory by typing: $ su Password: # mkdir /tmp/hba # cd /tmp/hba 2. Download the hba.megasas.2013.11.05.image file to the newly created /tmp/hba directory on your machine. 3. Make an megasas HBA diskette from the image file using this command: # dd if=hba.megasas.2013.11.05.image of=/dev/dsk/f0t obs=36b 4. Use this megasas HBA diskette during system installation. NOTE: If using a USB Floppy Drive during system installation, leave the drive connected throughout the installation until after the system reboots. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ II. Upgrading drivers on existing system The megasas HBA CD can also be used to upgrade the megasas driver on an existing UnixWare 7.1.4+, OpenServer 6, or UnixWare 7.1.4 system using the following command: 1. Insert the HBA driver CD and type the command: # pkgadd -d cdrom1 all or # pkgadd -d cdrom1 megasas The megasas HBA diskette can also be used to upgrade the megasas driver on an existing UnixWare 7.1.4+, OpenServer 6, or UnixWare 7.1.4 system using the following command: 1. Insert the HBA driver diskette and type the command: # pkgadd -d diskette1 all or # pkgadd -d diskette1 megasas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ III.
