Ok,
I've made some progress, I have found most of the dec unix cd's (vers
4.0, 4.0a, 4.0b, 4.0e and 4.0f)
I've found out how to boot from the cd properly now although I think what
I'd like to do is to wipe the machine, recreate the scsi arrays and
re-install
from scratch with ver 4.0e as that seems to be the most accepted rev.
Question,
with NT I can bung in a boot disk, run the adaptec raid config utility and
of
I go.
Then I bung in NT CD, it installs over the arrays I've configured and
presto.
With UNIX.....
What do I use to play with the raid arrays?
I presume the standard of creating a mirrored set of two disks for the
system and
raid 5 for the data still stands. Question is how do I do this?
I presume then again that if I create the device name for the two mirrored
disks then
I just install to that dev name and it should work.
Most of what I've said youre proabably having a good chuckle at, I know I
would if someone was asking me about nt and had not got a clue but I
appreciate any help.
regards
James Johnston
