Using This Tool
================
-------------------------------------------
TO CREATE THE RAID SOFTWARE SUITE DISKETTE
-------------------------------------------
 1. Download the selected file
 2. Double click the executable (ntwr_rss_210.exe) to create the diskette

IMPORTANT: 
 In order to install any operating system to a RAID host drive, You must first configure the host drive through the XROM  
 version of Storage Console. To do this, at system boot time, press <Ctrl><G> when prompted to invoke the XROM version of
 Storage Console.

New install of NetWare 5.1 and 6.x
============================================
IMPORTANT: If you plan to install the OS to a RAID volume, you must first
           configure the RAID volume through the XROM version of STORCON.
           At system boot time, press Ctrl-G when prompted to invoke
           the XROM version of STORCON.


New install of NetWare 5.0 with the SRCRX.HAM driver (not supported and no test has been performed):
------------------------------------------------------ 
IMPORTANT: The SRCRX.HAM driver depends on a later version of the NWPA.NLM
           than was shipped on the NetWare 5.0 CD. Without the NWPA.NLM
           update, the SRCRX.HAM driver will fail to load. The following
           procedure will allow you to upgrade the NWPA.NLM on the fly during
           OS installation.

- create a driver diskette from the RAID Software Suite CDROM either from a
  Windows workstation or by booting to the RAID Software Suite CDROM
- start the OS installation from the NetWare bootable CD
- the NetWare Install will eventually load a "Welcome" screen asking you to
  verify the startup directory (C:\NWSERVER)
- press Alt+F10 to exit the installation
- at the NetWare console prompt, type "down" and press ENTER (the installation
  exits to the boot drive's DOS prompt)
- insert the driver diskette into the A: drive
- if your NetWare startup directory is drive C:, then run
  A:\INSTALL\NWUPDATE.BAT, otherwise create a subdirectory named NWUPDATE at
  the root of your boot drive and copy all the files from A:\DRIVERS\5XX to
  the NWUPDATE subdirectory
- leave the NetWare 5.0 bootable CD in place, but remove the driver diskette
  from drive A:
- reboot the server
- after rebooting the server, the NetWare 5.0 Install will start again
- right after the Accept the License Agreement screen, select the "Continue
  with Existing Partition" option
- you may encounter a warning dialog box if you chose to install a "New
  Server" that says, "Warning: A previously installed version of NetWare was
  detected in C:\NWSERVER. If you choose to install a new server, all data on
  the existing server will be lost.  <Press ENTER to continue>"
- do as the message suggests and press ENTER
- continue the NetWare installation as normal by following the screen prompts


New install of NetWare 5.1x with the SRCRX.HAM driver:
------------------------------------------------------ 
- create a driver diskette from the RAID Software Suite CDROM either from a
  Windows workstation or by booting to the RAID Software Suite CDROM 
- start the OS installation from the NetWare bootable CD
- at the storage driver summary menu select modify drivers
- insert the driver diskette into drive A:
- press ENTER on the storage driver list
- press INS in the storage controller driver menu 
- press F3 and change the path to A:\DRIVERS\5XX then press ENTER
- select the SRCRX.HAM driver
- continue the NetWare installation as normal by following the screen prompts

RECOMMENDATION: Install all patches and updates from Novell


Fresh installation of NetWare 6.x using SRCRX.HAM driver:
--------------------------------------------------------- 
- the SRCRX.HAM driver is already located on the NetWare 6.0 CD and will be
  detected automatically during installation 

RECOMMENDATION: Update to the latest SRCRX.HAM after OS installation as
                described below and install all Novell NetWare patches and
                updates.
 

NOTE: The above procedures install only the controller drivers. To Install
      the STORCON NLM, follow the procedure under "Add RAID
      Controller(s), drivers, and/or STORCON to an existing NetWare
      installation" and select the "Storage RAID Controller Tools Kit
      (STORCON.NLM)" option.
