Host Bus Adapter (HBA) Driver Supplement - mpt Driver version 8.1.0, IHVVERSION 1.04.14

KEYWORDS: uw uw7 714 600 openserver osr6 unix unixware storage driver pci hba LSI mpt DDI8 sata sas serial SCSI

RELEASE:  UnixWare Release 7.1.4
          OpenServer Release 6.0.0

PROBLEM:  LSI Fusion-MPT SAS Host Adapters are not supported on
          either UnixWare 7 and SCO OpenServer 6.
          
SOLUTION: The mpt Driver Supplement provides the following driver:

                mpt - LSI SAS Fusion-MPT Version 8.1.0

          Version 8.1.0 of the mpt driver has the following changes:

           - provide support for LSI Fusion-MPT SAS chips and host adapters.

          This driver can be used during fresh installation of any supported
          OpenServer 6/UnixWare 7 system or can be applied to an existing 
          system.

          The mpt driver is provided in both hba.mpt.8.1.0.image, 
          a dd image of an HBA floppy and hba.mpt.8.1.0.iso, an ISO 
          image of an HBA CDROM.

          Both images will eventually be available at the following URLs:

I. Installation

While installing OpenServer 6/UnixWare 7 be sure to insert the mpt 
Driver Supplement media before any HBA drivers supplied with your media kit.

Use the following steps on a OpenServer 6/UnixWare 7 system to create
an HBA floppy from the HBA floppy image file.

        1. Become root and create a new directory by typing:

                $ su
                Password: <type your root password>
                # mkdir /tmp/hba
                # cd /tmp/hba

        2. Download the hba.mpt.8.1.0.image file to the newly
           created /tmp/hba directory on your machine.

        3. Make an mpt HBA diskette from the image file using this command:

                # dd if=hba.mpt.8.1.0.image of=/dev/dsk/f0t obs=36b

        4. Use this mpt HBA diskette during system installation.

Use the following steps on a OpenServer 6/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: <type your root password>
                # mkdir /tmp/hba
                # cd /tmp/hba

        2. Download the hba.mpt.8.1.0.iso file to the newly
           created /tmp/hba directory on your machine.

        3. Make an mpt HBA CD from the iso file using this command:

                # cdrecord -v -dev=c,b,t -dao -driveropts=burnfree -speed=99 hba.mpt.8.1.0.iso

                where c,b,t is taken from the output of cdrecord --scanbus

        4. Use this mpt HBA CD during system installation.

II. Upgrading drivers on existing OpenServer 6/UnixWare 7 system

The mpt HBA diskette can also be used to upgrade the mpt driver
on your system using the following command:

         1. Insert the HBA driver diskette and type the command:

                # pkgadd -d diskette1 all

                  or

                # pkgadd -d diskette1 mpt

The mpt HBA CD can also be used to upgrade the mpt driver
on your system using the following command:

         1. Insert the HBA driver CD and type the command:

                # pkgadd -d cdrom1 all

                  or

                # pkgadd -d cdrom1 mpt
