Chapter 3:
Installing UnixWare
This chapter explains how to install the UnixWare operating system on your computer. Specifically, it covers:
"Responding to prompts"
"The installation procedure"
"Performing an upgrade installation"
Responding to prompts
Use these keys when responding to prompts for information during the first section of the installation (before software loading begins):
The installation procedure
Read "Before You Begin" and complete the installation checklists before installing UnixWare. Also see "Licensing Software" for information on license-based default package selections for each type of license.
Follow the procedure shown here to install UnixWare Release 7.1.4 on your system:
Step 1.
- Before beginning, make sure you have up-to-date backups of all the data currently on your system. Some of the options available during installation overwrite all the data on the hard disk, including user data and other partitions.
Step 2.
The way you begin a fresh installation depends on whether you are installing from CD-ROMs or the network, and whether your system supports a bootable CD-ROM:
a. To begin installation using a bootable CD-ROM and no diskettes: turn your computer on and insert the Base Operating System CD 1 (CD #1) into your system's bootable CD-ROM drive. If your system is already on, insert the CD into drive and reboot the system. See "Bootable CD-ROM Support" for a list of supported bootable CD-ROM drives.
b. To begin installation using the installation diskettes and CD-ROMs: with the power off, insert the diskette labelled "Installation Diskette 1 of 2" into the diskette drive, and turn your system on. After the first Installation diskette is loaded, you will be prompted for the second diskette; remove the first diskette, insert the second diskette, and press Enter. See "Creating installation diskettes" for how to create Installation (and Network Installation) diskettes.
c. To begin installation from a previously configured network server: with the power off, begin the installation using either of the above two methods. If you use Installation Diskettes, also have both of the ``Network Installation Diskettes'' ready; you will be prompted for them at the point in the installation where you choose Network Install (Step 8). See "Creating installation diskettes" for how to create Network Installation diskettes. You must also have another UnixWare system running a properly configured Network Install Server. Please see the UnixWare Documentation Web Site at http://www.sco.com/support/docs/unixware for complete instructions on staging Unixware 7.1.4 Installation from a network Install Server.
d. To begin installation from a previously configured network server to a diskless workstation: Please see the UnixWare Documentation Web Site at http://www.sco.com/support/docs/unixware for complete instructions on staging a diskless Unixware 7.1.4 Installation from a network Install Server, as well as how to configure your networking card to begin installation from the server.
Regardless of the method you choose, once your system displays hardware information and the system logo, you'll be asked to set the installation language. The language you choose also becomes the default language setting for the system after installation is complete. Choose the desired language and press Enter. After a moment, the Welcome window appears.
Step 3.
From the Welcome window:
a. If you have an installation response diskette you saved from a prior UnixWare installation, insert it and press F3. Press F10 to continue after the disk loads. Skip to configuring a network adapter in Step 10.
b. If you do not have a response diskette, press F10 to continue.
Step 4.
The next several windows request time zone, locale, and keyboard information for your system. On each screen, use the arrow keys to make the appropriate selection and press F10 to continue. See the "Installation checklists" for a description of the required information.
Step 5.
When the System License screen is displayed, enter the License Edition information for your system and press F10, or press F8 to defer licensing and install the system with a 60-day evaluation license. See "Licensing Software" for more information. If you use an Edition License from a previous release, you will also be prompted for an Upgrade License. If you choose to defer licensing, you are asked to confirm that you want to install with a 60-day evaluation license. If this is the case select Yes and press F10.
Step 6.
The system prompts you to load Host Bus Adapter (HBA) drivers for your system. Do the following:
a. If you have a vendor-supplied HBA diskette or CD-ROM, insert it into the drive, select Install HBA driver, and press F10. (The first version of an HBA to be loaded takes precedence over any versions encountered on subsequent HBA media.)
b. Repeat Step 6a until you load all vendor-supplied HBA media.
c. After loading vendor HBA media (or if you have no vendor media), load the UnixWare HBA drivers from one of the following:
- CD #1
- If your primary CD-ROM drive is an IDE/ATAPI drive, you can insert CD #1 into the drive, select Install HBA drivers and press F10. All UnixWare HBA drivers will be loaded from the CD. Even if you began the installation from diskettes, you can use this CD to load HBA drivers if your CD drive is an ATAPI/IDE drive.
- HBA Diskettes
- If you do not have an IDE/ATAPI CD drive or you do not have CD #1, you can load the UnixWare HBA drivers from the three HBA Diskettes. Insert the first diskette into the diskette drive, select Install HBA drivers and press F10.
- After you have installed all the HBA diskettes, select Proceed with installation and press F10.
Note that if you are installing from a Network Install Server, or if you do not insert any media and select Continue with installation at this screen, only the HBA drivers found in the CD Boot Image will be loaded. See "Verifying supported hardware" for a list of the drivers in the CD Boot Image, the HBA diskettes, and CD #1.
Step 7.
Once all HBAs are loaded, you may choose to enter the DCU to configure hardware drivers. Choose one of the following: Most devices are correctly auto-detected by UnixWare. For these installations, select Do not enter the DCU (auto-configure drivers) and press F10.
In some cases, you must run the DCU to configure a device needed for installation (for example, older devices that may not support auto-configuration). Select Enter the DCU (manually configure drivers) and press F10. See "Configuring installation hardware" for information on using the Device Configuration Utility.
After you choose one of the above, the system displays the detected or selected drivers as it installs them.
It is recommended that you only configure those devices needed to install UnixWare during the installation process. You can run the DCU after the system is installed to configure additional devices (such as serial ports).
Enter the node name of the system and press F10. Do not enter a fully-qualified node name (including the domain); the domain name is entered later during network configuration. For example, enter "hostname", rather than "hostname.domain.com".
Install from CD-ROM. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive and press F10.
Step 8.
At the Installation Method window, select one of the following:
If Install from CD-ROM does not appear in the list, but a CD-ROM drive is present in your system, the device is probably not configured correctly. Select Cancel installation and shut down, re-start the installation, and run the DCU interactively as shown in Step 6 to configure the drive.
If the drive is found, the install media is first verified before continuing to the next step.
Install from TCP network server. Press F10 to continue.
Follow the prompts described in "Configuring a TCP network installation", and then go to the next step.
Cancel installation and shutdown. This option cancels the installation and shuts down the system. Press F10 to continue.
Use the whole disk for UNIX to use the entire disk for UnixWare and remove any pre-existing data on other partitions.
Step 9.
At the Disk Configuration screen, configure up to two detected hard disks. Use the Tab key to select the disk to configure, then press F2. Select one of:
Customize disk partitions to edit the partitions table or preserve pre-existing partitions. Enter the information from the "Partitions checklist and notes" and press F10 when done.
Re-load partition information from disk to restore the configuration on your hard disk to what it was when you started the installation.
Do not modify to skip modification of the second disk. This option does not appear for the first disk.
After you make your selections for both hard disks, press F10.
Step 10.
Choose whether or not to customize filesystems and slices on your primary hard disk. Select one of the following and press F10:
Use default filesystem sizes and types: The defaults are adequate for most installations. For a description of filesystem defaults, see the "Filesystems notes".
Customize filesystems and slices: See the "Filesystems checklist" for a complete explanation of how to customize the filesystems table. Press F10 when done.
Step 11.
Choose whether or not to customize special disk operations: surface analysis, boot block, and disk geometry options: Select one of the following and press F10:
Use default disk options. The defaults are to install a new boot sector on disk one and disable disk scanning and disk geometry resetting for disks one and two.
Customize disk options. Select the disk options to enable or disable, then press F10. Note: resetting the disk geometry will remove all data on a disk, including data in non-UNIX partitions. This option is not enabled by default and should be used with caution.
Step 12.
Choose a system profile: To install License-Based Defaults, a Small Footprint Server (minimal system), or a Full (All Packages) system from the media, highlight the appropriate choice and pressF10.
To customize the services and packages installed, highlight Customize Installation of Packages and complete the procedure "Manually selecting sets, services, and packages" before continuing with the next step.
Use the detected adapter shown above
Step 13.
The installer attempts to detect a network adapter, or it displays the network adapter you used to begin a network install. If other adapters are detected, they are displayed as well. Choose one of the following options to configure a single network adapter (additional adapters can be configured after installation using scoadmin network):
Choose this option and press F10 if the adapter shown in the display is the one you want to configure. The system will use detected defaults to install the adapter.
Select from the detected adapters shown above
Choose this option and press F10 if more than one adapter was detected. Then, select the desired adapter and press F10. The system will use detected defaults to install the adapter.
Select from the full list of supported adapters
Choose this option and press F10 to manually configure an adapter from the list of supported adapters. Select the desired adapter from the list, then press F10. The system will then prompt for device-specific information from the "Network adapter checklist". Press F10 after you enter the required information.
Defer network configuration
If you choose this option, network adapter, TCP/IP and NIS configuration are deferred until they system is booted. Use the SCOadmin Network Configuration Manager to configure the network after installation is complete. Skip the next step and continue with Step 17.
Step 14.
If you chose a network adapter in the last Step, Configure TCP/IP Networking by doing one of the following: If you plan to use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocal (DHCP) server to set the TCP/IP configuration on the system after the first reboot, press F2 to choose yes in the Use DHCP? box at the top of the screen. Select the appropriate Frame format in the box at the bottom of the screen, and press F10. Go to the next Step.
If you want to define the TCP/IP configuration for your system now, enter the network configuration information from the "TCP/IP checklist" and press F10 when done.
Press F8 to defer TCP/IP configuration.
Step 15.
The system attempts to autodetect a mouse and displays the Mouse Configuration screen. If it finds one, it displays a message such as: A PS2 Mouse has been detected on device node /dev/m320.a. You can choose to Configure/Reconfigure this Mouse, Manually Configure a Mouse, or Defer mouse configuration. If these options are displayed, select one and press F10.t>
b. If no mouse is autodetected (or if you choose to Manually Configure a Mouse), select the mouse type from among Serial Mouse, USB Mouse, and PS/2-compatible Mouse (or choose No Mouse to defer configuration). Press F10 to continue.t>
c. If you chose to defer mouse configuration above, go to the next step.
d. If you chose to configure a mouse, select the appropriate number of buttons (and serial port for a Serial Mouse) in the next screen displayed, and press F10. Follow the instructions to test the mouse. Verify the mouse is functional by moving the mouse and pressing a mouse button.t>
e. A message is displayed that tells you whether the mouse was configured successfully or not. Press F10; if the mouse was configured successfully, the installation continues with the next Step. If it was not, you go back to the Mouse Configuration screen.t>
Do not forget the root password that you enter.
Step 16.
In the windows that follow, enter date and time, security level, system owner, and root (superuser) data, taking the information from the "General installation checklist". On each screen, enter the required information and press F10 to continue.
Step 17.
View the license terms, select Accept, and press F10 to continue.
Step 18.
The system displays a message that it is ready to begin writing data to your hard disk. You are prompted to continue the installation, which will delete any data in the active partition and (depending on which special disk options you chose) possibly other partitions as well. At this point, you can: Continue the installation, by pressing F10.
Save your installation answers to a pre-formatted diskette, by pressing F3. You can then use this diskette to quickly install this or another UnixWare Release 7.1.4 system using the same responses.
Go back through the installation screens to change any of your answers, by pressing F9.
Step 19.
After you confirm that you want to install the software on your system, the software load begins after any disk setup or badtracking. Software load is the longest stage of the installation. You can track the progress of the installation by viewing the progress indicator. After the software is loaded, the kernel (/stand/unix) is rebuilt. This takes several minutes.
Note: If you chose yes for the Use DHCP? option when you configured a network card, you can check the DHCP and Address Allocation Servers on your network now to see if an IP address was allocated to your machine as expected. After your system is completely installed, check the system startup messages in /var/adm/log/osmlog for messages indicating that the system successfully obtained an IP address from the DHCP server.
Step 20.
After you see a message indicating that the kernel was rebuilt successfully, remove all diskettes and CD-ROMs from the drives on your system and press any key to reboot.
Step 21.
After the system reboots, you are prompted to insert the Updates CD #2 to continue the installation. Default selections are automatically highlighted for installation. You can override these defaults by selecting or de-selecting products. You can also defer installing this CD until a later time.
Step 22.
After installing (or deferring) CD #2, you are prompted to insert the Optional Services CD #3. Select the products you want to install from the menu. You can also defer installing this CD until a later time.
Step 23.
If you selected the Linux Kernel Personality for installation from CD #2, you are now prompted to insert the OpenLinux 3.1.1 Distribution CD #4, Once you insert it and press Enter, you are asked to choose an installation profile for OpenLinux 3.1.1. See "Installing the Linux Kernel Personality" for a desription of the OpenLinux installation profiles. Once you choose a profile and press Enter, the OpenLinux software is copied from the CD. Once the sofware is installed, configuration scripts for various utilities and packages are run. When a message is displayed indicating that Linux Kernel Personality installation is complete, press F10.
Step 24.
The system automatically boots into multi-user mode (if you installed software from CD #2 or CD #3, the kernel is first rebuilt). The graphical login screen should appear on the system console.
Step 25.
You can now log in to the system and add additional packages from the other CDs in the media kit. See "CD-ROM Contents" for a list of the packages included on each of the UnixWare CDs. For information on first-time setup tasks, including installing software from CD #2 and CD #3, see "After you install". Installing the Linux Kernel Personality
The Base OS CD #1 contains the kernel and includes files that are necessary to support the Linux Kernel Personlaity (LKP). These files are installed automatically as part of the installation process.
The Updates CD #2 contains the lxcompat package set that contains the LKP software as well as lkpdoc, the online LKP documentation. The lxcompat set is selected for installation by default, but can be de-selected and installed later. Similarly, you can install the lxcompat set from CD #2, and then defer the installation of the Linux RPMs from CD #4.
If you do not install LKP as part of installation or upgrade, do the following to add it to your running system:
Step 1.
- Do one of the following:
a. To install the lxcompat set and the Linux RPMs, insert the Updates CD #2 into the CD-ROM drive and enter:
/usr/bin/lkpinstallA package selection screen is presented; select LKP and the LKP documentation and continue the installation.
b. To install only the Linux RPMs from CD #4, you do not need CD #2. Enter:
/usr/bin/lkpinstall -r
Step 2.
When prompted, insert the Linux RPM CD #4 in the CD-ROM drive. The CD is mounted automatically. Select an installation profile:
- All Packages
(Recommended) Installs all of the non-commercial software available on the OpenLinux CD.- Web Server
Installs packages best suited for creating a web server.- File/Print Server
Installs a set of packages best suited for creating a dedicated file and print server.- Network Server
Installs a generic set of services, such as DHCP, NNTP, Sendmail, and FTP, for creating a basic network server.- Minimum Server
Installs a basic OpenLinux system. It is intended to be used as the base for a highly customized server.
Step 3.
When all RPMs from the CD have been installed and configured, you can review the results in: /linux/var/tmp/lxrpms.log /linux/var/tmp/lxrpms.errYou will need at least 128 MB RAM to use LKP effectively. Installing all packages (recommended) from the OpenLinux distribution (available on a separate CD-ROM) requires approximately 1.5 GB of disk space in the root filesystem.
Configuring a TCP network installation
Follow this procedure when you choose Install from TCP server in Step 8 on page 58 to install Release 7.1.4 from a previously configured Network Install Server. See "Setting up a Network Install Server" for more information.
Step 1.
- From the Install Server window, choose Configure Networking Hardware.
The system attempts to detect a network adapter on your system.
If zero or one adapters are detected, you move directly to the Adapter Selection window; go to the next step.
If more than one adapter is detected, or if the system cannot associate an adapter type with the detected chipset, you are prompted to select the correct adapter type or choose to ignore the detected adapter. Press F10 to continue.
Use the detected adapter shown above
Step 2.
The installer attempts to detect a network adapter, or it displays the network adapter you used to begin a network install. If other adapters are detected, they are displayed as well. Choose one of the following options in the Adapter Selection window to configure a single network adapter (additional adapters can be configured after installation using scoadmin network):
Choose this option and press F10 if the adapter shown in the display is the one you want to configure. The system will use detected defaults to install the adapter.
Select from the detected adapters shown above
Choose this option and press F10 if more than one adapter was detected. Then, select the desired adapter and press F10. The system will use detected defaults to install the adapter.
Select from the full list of supported adapters
Choose this option and press F10 to manually configure an adapter from the list of supported adapters. Select the desired adapter from the list, then press F10. The system will then prompt for device-specific information from the "Network adapter checklist". Press F10 after you enter the required information.
Defer network configuration
If you choose this option, network adapter, TCP/IP and NIS configuration are deferred until they system is booted. Use the SCOadmin Network Configuration Manager to configure the network after installation is complete. Skip the next step and continue with Step 17.
When prompted, insert the requested Network Installation diskette and press F10.
Enter the required configuration parameters for the selected adapter from the "Network adapter checklist". Pressing F2 presents a list of valid choices for each parameter. When you finish entering all parameters, press F10.
Step 3.
If you chose a network adapter in the last Step, Configure TCP/IP Networking by doing one of the following: If you plan to use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocal (DHCP) server to set the TCP/IP configuration on the system after the first reboot, press F2 to choose yes in the Use DHCP? box at the top of the screen. Select the appropriate Frame format in the box at the bottom of the screen, and press F10. Go to the next Step.
If you want to define the TCP/IP configuration for your system now, enter the network configuration information from the "TCP/IP checklist" and press F10 when done.
Press F8 to defer TCP/IP configuration.
Step 4.
Select Continue with installation and press F10. If the network adapter you chose is configured correctly and the Install Server responds to your request, return to the main installation procedure at Step 9 on page 58. If the Install Server is unreachable, you may need to reconfigure the protocol parameters to, for example, specify a different server address.
Manually selecting sets, services, and packages
Follow this procedure if you chose Customize Installation of Packages in Step 12 on page 59.
Step 1.
- Select a set to configure from the list and press F10.
Each set is made of several services, which in turn consist of individual packages. Each service is set to be partially installed (PART), fully installed (FULL), or not installed (OFF) according to the terms of the operating system edition license you entered previously.
Select individual packages
Step 2.
Highlight the service you want to customize and press F2. Choose to:
Select all packages (FULL)
Select no packages (OFF)
For each package, press the space bar to toggle the selection on or off. Press PgUp and PgDn to move through the complete list of packages.
When done making selections, press Enter.
Step 3.
Repeat the previous step for each service you want to configure. When done configuring all services, press F10.
Step 4.
Highlight another set to configure, and repeat steps 1 to 4. When you finish configuring sets, select Accept current selections and continue and press F10.
Resolve Dependencies Automatically
Step 5.
If a package you select has dependencies on a package you de-selected, you are prompted to choose one of the following:
Automatically selects necessary packages. Go to step 6.
View List of Needed Packages
Displays necessary packages so you can decide whether to automatically resolve dependencies or go back and manually alter your selections. Follow the instructions on the screen to view the dependencies list for each package, then press F9 and choose to resolve dependencies automatically or return to package selection.
Return to Service/Package Selection
Allows you to manually alter your selections. If you select this option, go back to step 1.
Step 6.
After you resolve any dependency issues, rejoin the main installation procedure at Step 15 on page 61. Performing an upgrade installation
Use the Upgrade Wizard to upgrade your UnixWare 7.1.1, 7.1.2 (aka Open UNIX 8), or 7.1.3 system to UnixWare 7.1.4.
How the Upgrade Wizard works
When you upgrade your system, the Upgrade Wizard intelligently maps default software selections to the software currently installed. If you accept the default selections throughout the upgrade procedure, your system will contain all of the available software upgrades that apply to your current installation. Additional packages can be installed manually using pkgadd(1M) command.
The UpdateSet is automatically installed when you run the Upgrade Wizard, including on subsequent invocations if the Wizard detects that the package needs to be re-applied. Default package selections for other software on the Updates CD #2 and the Optional Services CD #3 are displayed after the UpdateSet is installed.
You modify these default selections, by de-selecting unwanted software or adding software you had not previously installed, during the software selection phase of the Upgrade Wizard.
To ensure the correct functioning and supportability of your upgraded system, the Upgrade Wizard always upgrades components from the Updates CD-ROM if they already exist on your system. For example, the X11 packages will be upgraded automatically (without the option to de-select the upgrade) when you run the Upgrade Wizard to install Release 7.1.4.
If the Upgrade Wizard has already been used to update the system, you may add additional software from the CD #2 and CD #3 to your Release 7.1.4 system using the pkgadd(1M) command. Place the appropriate CD in the primary CD drive and enter the following command to see all the defined sets on the CD:
pkgadd -qd cdrom1 namewhere name is the name of the package or set. See "CD-ROM Contents" for a list of the sets and packages on each CD.
You can also use the scoadmin application installer to install sets and packages using a graphical interface.
The upgrade procedure
The Updates CD #2 is used to begin an upgrade from a previous release to UnixWare 7.1.4; CD #1 is not required for upgrades.
Step 1.
- Install the Release 7.1.4 uli package from the Updates CD #2. Insert the CD into the drive and enter:
pkgadd -qd cdrom1 uli
Step 2.
Start the Upgrade Wizard:
from the command line, by entering scoadmin upgrade, or uli.

If there is more than one CD-ROM drive on your system, choose the drive from which to install; select Next.
Step 6.
When prompted, insert the Updates CD #2 in the CD-ROM drive you specified and select Next.
Step 7.
The Upgrade Wizard attempts to detect the type of Edition License that is currently installed on your system. If it cannot find your current license information, you will need to enter the License Number, License Code, and License Data from your original Edition License (the license with which you originally installed Release 7.1.1, 7.1.2, or 7.1.3). Select Next after you enter the required data. Run the License Manager if you are prompted for this information (see "Starting The License Manager") and use the License-View command to see the current Edition License information.
Step 8.
Enter your upgrade License Number, License Code, and License Data; then, select Next. The CD-ROM is verified and read, and the UpdateSet is installed.
Step 9.
The software selection window for the Updates CD #2 appears. Default selections are already selected for upgrade based on the currently installed software on your system. Add a component to the installation list, by highlighting the desired component in the "Available Packages" list and selecting Add.
Remove a component from the installation list, by highlighting the desired component in the "Chosen Packages" list and selecting Remove.
View details about any package, by highlighting the package and selecting Details. The information shown includes package space and inode requirements and dependency lists.
Note: If you are using the non-graphical uli interface from the console or a terminal window, use the Tab and arrow keys to navigate between the lists, use Spacebar to select packages in a list, and use Enter to move selected packages to the other list (or, select packages using Spacebar, Tab to the Add or Remove button, and press Spacebar to move the selected packages).
Packages that are being automatically upgraded by the Upgrade Wizard are not displayed in the Package Selection List. To see a complete list of all packages selected for installation, select Details.
Select Next when the additional packages that you want to install appear in the Chosen Packages list.
Step 10.
The selected software is displayed. Select Next to install this software, or Previous to go back and alter your selections. After you select Next, you cannot return to the software selection window for this CD-ROM. Please be certain that the software you selected is the software you want to install.
Step 11.

Step 12.
When prompted, insert the Optional Services CD #3 in your CD-ROM drive; then select Next. The CD-ROM is verified and read.
Step 13.
Select software as you did in Step 9 on page 71, then select Next when finished.
Step 14.
Select Previous to alter your software selections. Select Next to install the selected software from the Optional Services CD; you will be prompted for information appropriate to each application (such as licenses and configuration information) as they are installed. If you chose to add non-default packages that are not enabled by your License Edition, the software is installed with a 60-day evaluation license. Contact your vendor to purchase a full license if you decide to continue to use this software; then use the License Manager to apply the new license. See "License Editions" and "Using the License Manager".
Step 15.
Select Finish to exit the Upgrade Wizard. The Wizard informs you if it is necessary to re-boot your system so that the changes you made can take effect.
After you upgrade your system, you should immediately re-create your emergency recovery media. See Installation and Licensing in the online help on http://localhost:8458 for instructions.
