SCO Openserver 5.0.4 IDE RAID 1 3

[IRONRINGED]

Hey all,

I would like to set up a RAID 1 IDE configuration. I need to purchase an IDE RAID controller, but I am having trouble finding one that is compatible with 5.0.4. Does anybody know of a controller that will work. I do not have the PC specs, but I can get those if needed. The only RAID controllers I have found are SCSI controllers.

Thanks in advance.

5.0.4 is pretty old ...

 

[stanhubble]

IDE raid tends to be software driven, while scsi (and its modern variants) are more hardware driven. so it will be hard/impossible to find an ide raid controller that will work with 5.0.4.

are you looking for redundancy, hot swappable, or speed?

how intensive is the application and can it be moved to a later version of openserver?

 

[IRONRINGED]

stanhubble, thank you for your response. I want to create a redundant backup of the main hard drive on the server. The size of the files is not very large; around 5gb for everything. There are about 20 people that log onto the server to perform their daily tasks. It is used from 8:30am to 6:00pm. I cannot switch to a later version of openserver. Within the next year we will be switching OS and updating other software as well.

Do you know of any software that can perform the functions I need that will work on 5.0.4 Openserver?

Thanks,

Jag

rsync ?

Hey PHV,

I'm trying to install rsync 3.0.5, but when I type ./configure it says I don't have a gcc compiler installed. This is what it says in config.log,

configure.sh:1953: checking for gcc
configure.sh:1983: result: no
configure.sh:2050: checking for cc
configure.sh:2097: result: no
configure.sh:2153: checking for cl.exe
configure.sh:2183: result: no
configure.sh:2211: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

$PATH looks like this,

PATH: /bin
PATH: /etc
PATH: /usr/bin

I installed gcc-2.95.2pl1-VOLS.tar from ftp://ftp2.sco.com/pub/skunkware/osr5/vols/, which did not resolve the problem.

Either rsync is not looking in the right directory for gcc, or the gcc install does not support rsync.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jag

I figured out where gcc has been installed. It is in /usr/local/bin. Here are its contents,

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 207192 Apr 14 09:45 c++@
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 101136 Apr 14 09:45 c++filt@

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 57460 Apr 14 09:45 gcov@

I believe rsync also gets installed in this folder, but I don't see it in there.

Is there a way to get rsync to look into /usr/local/bin?
I just finished installing Supplement Patch C; I had A installed previously.

 

[IRONRINGED]

I've done more searching online to try to get this resolved. I followed the instructions in this article,

http://aplawrence.com/SCOFAQ/FAQ_scotec1compiler.html

"To install the headers and libraries, insert your original OS CDROM, run custom, choose Install New and install the 'SCO OpenServer Linker and Application Development Libraries'"

I completed that step, but running ./configure rsync still does not find a gcc or c compiler.

I am going to reinstall the gcc compiler.

Does anybody know anything about SCO OpenServer 5.0.4. It's taking me hours and hours to do things that should only take a few hours at most to complete. Just had to vent.

 

[IRONRINGED]

Two more things I have tried which did not work. I insatlled oss646c ver 1.2.0a(Execution Environment Supplement). One item did not get installed, which was,

OSS646C-CDMT Toolkit Update (OSS646C.506.SCO.cdmt)

The reasoning from SCO was,

The software they modify is not installed. Could this be the source of my problems?
These two files are present in /usr/lib,

libresolv.so.1
libsocket.so.2

I also tried installing two different version of rsync, 3.0.5 and 3.0.0. Both give me the same compiler error.

I am exhausted and finished for the day.

Regards,

Jag

I added /usr/local/bin to $PATH via .profile. This is what I am getting in the rsync's config.log,

I just tried this today on a fresh (albeit ancient) SCO 5.0.4 install (VMWare server using

http://aplawrence.com/OSR5/vmware_504.html)

and rsync is working.

ftp ftp2.sco.com
cd /pub/skunkware/osr5/vols

Download and install:
autoconf-2.12-VOLS.tar
automake-1.4-VOLS.tar
gcc-98q2-VOLS.tar
make-3.76.1-VOLS.tar

Insert SCO 5.0.4 CD and install
SCO OpenServer Linker and Application Development Libraries (ver 5.1.0Ac)
SCO Optimizing C Compiler (ver 2.1.4d)

It may tell you that you need to install the SCO Development system (Just Press Enter)

Set path by typing:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/include:/bin:/etc:/usr/bin:/tcb/bin

./configure
make
make install
rsync --version

 

[IRONRINGED]

M577A2, you are a god send!! How did you know which files were required for the install?

I followed your instructions to the t. I uninstalled gcc-2.95.2pl1-VOLS.tar, and oss646c, then restarted the computer. I had Linker and Application Development Libraries and Optimizing C Compiler previously installed. Meaning, it does not matter which order these files are installed. I also had supplement c for 5.0.4 installed too.

The main question though, how did you know which files to use to get rsync to work? I installed rsync 3.0.5.

Time to test it out. Again, thank you.

Jag

 

[M577A2]

Unfortunately, it's probably because I've tried everything else... I just hate that error: C compiler cannot create executables. Kinda makes you wonder what you'd download a C compiler for if it couldn't compile executables!?!?

Building working gcc's for AIX4.# and SCO5.0.# was/is an adventure in frustration.

Good luck with rsync. It adds a great level of protection to your data.

 

[stanhubble]

FYI if you have rsync on a 5.0.7 system the binary will work on a 5.0.5 system. I suppect it may rely on a couple of libraries but I just tried it on a 5.0.5 with the following installed:
