Sco 5.0.6 and Compaq ML370 Integrated Smart Array

[snight123]

Hi,

I have a Compaq Ml370 G1 with the integrated Smart Array Controller. I am trying to Install Sco 5.0.6 but with no luck so far.

I keep getting "No Root Disk Found" etc when the HW info is displayed and after entering the licence information, resulting in the setup stopping.

I have the latest EFS available V5.4a (I think) for Sco Openserver that contains the BTLD's for the controller.

I think that the controller uses the IDA driver rather than the CISS driver as i think the CISS is for the 431 cards upwards.

If anyone can tell me if i am correct in thinking i need to be using the IDA driver. Also if anyone can help guide me through the install steps it would be most appreciated.

Thanks

I'm afraid 5.0.6 is too old for a ML370 ...

HI PHV,

Thanks for your reply.

I have Sco Openserver 5.0.6 running on a ML370 G3, and i wanted to put it on this ML370 G1 as a sort of test machine for testing new code on before letting it on our live server.

Well, aside the hardware you may have some licensing issue doing that.
