INITIAL SETUP AND CONFIGURATION

Tower Configuration:

Streaming-RAID Adapter/A displays various messages regarding the status of
drives managed by the RAID Adapter.  These messages state the actual bay
location where the drive is physically located.  Furthermore, it treats stack
of seven drives as a tower of drives where the drive location at the top is
bay 1 and drive location at the bottom is bay 7.  Streaming-RAID Adapter/A can
be configured to manage 1 or 2 towers during system setup configuration time.
It must be configured as 2 towers when each tower is connected to a SCSI
channel.  It must be configured as 1 tower in the PS/2 Server 95/A Systems
when both SCSI channels are connected to the internal bays.  Following are the
mapping of drive SCSI ID and channel-bay number used in various messages.

that do not support boot from the Streaming-RAID Adapter/A and may not boot
properly from other devices if it is set to enabled.

NEW FUNCTIONS SUPPORTED IN RAID CONFIGURATION PROGRAM VERSION 2.20

1. View configuration function now shows non disk devices such as CDROM (CDR),
   Tape (TAP) and Optical (OPT) devices connected to the Streaming-RAID
   Adapter.

2. Test drive media surface function is added into the Advanced functions menu.



OPERATING SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND RAID ADMINISTRATION

INSTALLATION STEPS FOR OS/2

 1.  Follow instructions in the OS/2 to install OS/2 into the hard disk drive.

             OS/2 requires that the partition you are installing must
             be less than 2 GB for HPFS partition and less than 1 GB
             for FAT.  The FDISK program will not show the size of
             the drive properly if they are greater than 2GB unless
             the device driver IBMRAID.ADD is loaded.  To load the
             drive during installation copy the driver from OS2
             subdirectory of the option diskette to copy of the OS/2
             Diskette 1 and add

                   BASEDEV=IBMRAID.ADD

             to CONFIG.SYS in OS/2 DIskette 1.  If diskette 1 does
             not have enough diskette space to copy the driver,
             delete device drivers from diskette 1 that are not being
             used to make space for IBMRAID.ADD (make sure that you
             make a copy of diskette 1 before deleting any files).
             To make space in Diskette 1 delete following file from
             the copy of OS/2 Diskette 1:  AHA152X.ADD, AHA154X.ADD.
             You also need to remove corresponding basedev statements
             from the CONFIG.SYS file.  (Refer to Control Program
             GG24-3730-00 page 59 - 60 for detail explanation of the
             basedev statements in the CONFIG.SYS ).

 2.  Once OS/2 is installed,  put this diskette in drive A.
 3.  Enter DDINSTAL from any OS/2 command prompt.
 4.  Select "IBM RAID Controller ADD installation" from the menu and install.
       DDINSTALL will insert
                 "BASEDEV=IBMRAID.ADD"
       at the end of CONFIG.SYS file and will copy following files to
       OS2 subdirectory:
                  IBMRAID.ADD         // device driver
                  RAIDADM.EXE         // RAID Administration and monitor
       and following files to \OS2\HELP directory.
                  RAIDADM.HLP         // Help file for RAIDADM.EXE

     NOTE: You must have IBMSYSO.DLL in the current directory or in
           a directory specified in the LIBPATH statement in the CONFIG.SYS
           file. IBMSYSO.DLL is supplied as a part of NetFinity*. If you do
           not have IBMSYSO.DLL installed as part of NetFinity use the
           IBMSYSO.DLL file supplied in the OS/2 directory of this diskette.
           RAIDADM will fail to load if IBMSYSO.DLL is not in the path.

 5. After restarting the system RAID administration can be started by
    entering
             RAIDADM [/lf=d:\path\logfile]
    at the OS2 subdirectory.
             where logfile is the file name where RAIDADM message will be
    logged. If /lf is omitted, a default logfile IBMRAID.LOG is created in the
    OS2 subdirectory. When /lf switch is used make sure that the drive d: and
    path \path exists. RAIDADM will not create a subdirectory if one does not
    exist.

    You can define RAIDADM to OS/2 by dragging a Program icon from the Templates
    folder to Desktop. In the Program - Settings notebook, on the Program page,
    enter the following:

           o Path and file name: c:\os2\raidadm.exe
           o Parameters: /lf=d:\path\logfile

    In the General page, enter RAID as the title and remove the tick mark from
    Template.




    NOTE: OS/2 CD-ROM INSTALLATION

    Make a copy of OS/2 Diskette 1 and use the copy of Diskette 1 to
    install OS/2.  Copy IBMRAID.ADD from the OS2 subdirectory of the
    Streaming-RAID option diskette to copy of Diskette 1 and add following
    line

           BASEDEV=IBMRAID.ADD

    to CONFIG.SYS file in Diskette 1.  If diskette 1 does not have enough
    diskette space to copy the driver, delete device drivers from diskette
    1 that are not being used to make space for IBMRAID.ADD (make sure that
    you make a copy of diskette 1 before deleting any files).  CD-ROM can
    be connected to any channel and can have SCSI-IDs 0 to 6 as long as it
    does not conflict with and other SCSI device IDs or bays (equivalent
    SCSI-ID) that is currently connected to Streaming-RAID Adapter/A.

    in drive A.
 5. At the A: prompt type

            INSNWADM d:

    and press Enter. Where d: is the drive mapped to SYS:\SYSTEM.
    INSNWADM will copy

           RAIDASP3.NLM      // RAID ASPI driver for Ver 3.XX
           RAIDADM.NLM       // RAID Administration

    to SYS:\SYSTEM.
 6. At the NetWare server console prompt type

          LOAD RAIDASP3     // RAIDADM will not autoload RAIDASP3.DSK
          LOAD RAIDADM

    and press Enter. RAIDADM will auto load RAIDASPI.NLM.
    Up to four IBM RAID Adapters can be managed by the RAIDADM.
    You can press F1 key anytime to get on line help from the
    RAIDADM utility.


INSTALLATION STEPS FOR NetWare 4.XX

    INSTADMB d:
    where d: is the server drive where the administration
    programs will reside.
18. The RAID administration can be started by typing
    RAIDADMB <server name>

    note 1: RAIDADMB creates a log file call IBMRAID.LOG in
            DISK1\LOCAL\_DACDMC\ directory. Where DISK1 is the
            disk used in step 13 above. All RAID monitor messages are
            logged in this file. You will need dosunix bridge installed
            and a drive mapped to DISK1 to access/view IBMRAID.LOG file.

    note 2: RAIDADMB uses the file RAIDADM.ADM to determine Streaming
            RAID Adapter tower configuration. You must properly set
            this file for proper log messages from RAIDADMB. Use any
            text editor to edit the first column of the file.
            Following example shows RAIDADM.ADM content when first
            Streaming RAID Adapter is configured as 2 towers, second
            adapter as 1 tower, third and forth adapters are as 2 towers
            and 1 tower respectively. You must also copy RAIDADM.ADM in the
            DISK1\LOCAL\_DACDMC\ directory for proper logging operation.

            Example of RAIDADM.ADM file.

                               - col 1: number towers in the Adapter
                              V
                             
                             2
