Installing the Mylex Disk Array Controller as the Primary
NetWare 4.11/4.2 Controller
If the Mylex Disk Array Controller will be the primary (bootable) controller,
you must install the controller driver at the time of NetWare 4.11/4.2
installation.
The procedure below assumes that the CD-ROM drivers are available.
1. Boot the system from a newly created DOS boot drive, and then create
(or edit) the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to include the
drivers required for accessing the CD-ROM as a logical drive under
DOS. The following example assigns the CD-ROM as drive D: under
MS-DOS 6.00 or above. CONFIG.SYS contains the statements:
device = [pathname]\aspidac.sys
device = [pathname]\btcdrom.sys /D:[devicename]
AUTOEXEC.BAT contains the statement:
[pathname]\mscdex /v /m:10 /D:[devicename]
The device name is that of the specific CD-ROM drive
(e.g., MSCD001).
2. Boot the system with the new CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT,
and make sure the NetWare CD-ROM files are accessible under DOS.
3. Follow the standard NetWare 4.11/4.2 upgrade or installation
procedure, as described in the NetWare 4.11/4.2 documentation.
4. Insert the NT/NW drivers diskette into the floppy disk drive when the
installation program prompts you to insert the vendor-supplied disk.
The installation program will scan the diskette for all available drivers.
Select the NetWare 4.11/4.2 driver from the list.
MDAC.HAM
5. After the NetWare 4.11/4.2 installation is complete, copy the files in
the \NW subdirectory of the NT/NW drivers diskette to SYS:SYSTEM
of the NetWare 4.11/4.2 server.
