IS-IT--Management
Hello all,
I have a plethora of Lucent parts split between my home system (~10 phones) and office system (2 phones). We currently have been relying on an Audix Voice Power IS-III system for a while at the office. It is running on the Master Controller II+, and a while ago I went thru hoops and bounds trying to enable the 2nd serial port (after adding one) to setup getty to answer serial requests so I could access it from my desk instead of walking to the console. I also tried to move parts into a 486sx so the screen writes would be faster. I got a good introduction to the innards of old Unix operating systems. It all ended up as it was originally configured. My attempts to hotrod it were unsuccessful.
Move forward to now. I'm finally ready to check out the Intuity 3.3 systems I've had sitting on the shelf for a while. They are mostly scrap, and I have all sorts of odds and ends. I have the SCSI disk from one system that was retired (when lightning took out the system board). I believe the disk still has intuity on it (2gb IBM SCSI). I don't have the correct set of boot floppies, so Unixware wouldn't boot from the tape drive to reload the OS onto a clean drive. I have the original tapes for 3.3, but not the floppies. I found some Unixware floppies, but they didn't see the tape controller.
I've given up on the tapes, and decided to move the disk into a different Map 5. I didn't hang onto the fried system board... And the map 5 I'm trying to put the SCSI drive in was configured with the SCSI controller disabled. I figured out how to re-enable it, but the system just hits the drive and immediately reboots. If I shove the disk into a FreeBSD / Linux system it sees the disk partition is intact (SysV), and I can run 'strings' against the raw device and see the OS and such is there. Am I doing something wrong? I don't have any cards in the system other than the VLB VGA card.
Does anyone have the BIOS settings for the MAP 5 running intuity when it comes to the SCSI controller? I tried addr 140 and 340, the 3 different memory addresses... and bumped it between IRQ 10 + DMA 5 to IRQ 11 + DMA 6. This problem reminds me of when I was trying to put the AVP system on a faster computer. For some reason SysV wouldn't run on a 486.
I'm positive this disk was working. It could be the kernel was corrupted. I haven't tried going thru the voice boards.
I think the disk from the MAP 5 I'm trying to use is IDE,
and had AVP for System 25 on it or something odd.
Any help is appreciated. We use the AVP as a 1 mailbox answering machine, so there is no benefit of switching to Intuity (I don't even know what the differences are, except maybe higher quality recording). It is just a project to aggrivate me into submission.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
