Installing RAID Drivers Using the XPReburn Script

The Sun Ultra 40 M2 Workstation Tools and Drivers CD contains a script that enables you to create a new Windows XP CD with the needed RAID drivers. After the new CD is created, you can boot the CD and install Windows XP normally. This new CD automatically installs the drivers, making it unnecessary to use a USB diskette drive and to install the NVRAID drivers.

For specific and current information about the XpReburn script, see the description at the top of the script which is located in /drivers/utilities/XpReburn on the

Tools and Drivers CD.

To install Windows XP using a RAID configuration, you need the following:

■

A system running Solaris Operating System for x86 Systems, Red Hat Enterprise

Linux 3 or 4, or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLED 10).

Access to a CD burner

■

A blank CD-R or CD-RW

A Windows XP Professional installation CD (retail media only—not an OEM version)

A Sun Ultra 40 M2 Workstation Tools and Drivers CD

To create a Windows XP CD with the Sun Ultra 40 M2 Workstation drivers:

1. On a system Solaris x86, Solaris OS (SPARC Platform Edition), or Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 3 or 4, or SLED 10 software, insert the Sun Ultra 40 M2

Workstation Tools and Drivers CD.

2. As superuser, create a temporary directory with at least 1.2 Gbytes of space.

For example:

# mkdir /files

3. Copy the XpReburn_ version .zip

file to that directory.

Where version is the current version of XpReburn.

For example:

# cp /drivers/utilities/XpReburn_1.0.zip /files

4. Eject the Tools and Drivers CD and insert your retail Windows XP 32 Professional

CD.

Chapter 1 Operating System Setup and Installation 13

5. Unzip the XpReburn_ version .zip

file.

For example:

# unzip -q XpReburn_1.0.zip

6. Run the XpReburn script.

For example:

# ./files/XpReburn

The script displays the driver files it expects to be located in the current directory.

When all four driver files have been downloaded into that directory, the script creates a new ISO image and then automatically burns that ISO image onto a CD if the system has a CD burner.

7. After the CD has been created, install Windows XP Professional software on the

Sun Ultra 40 M2 Workstation.

8. After the OS installation is complete, install the NVDIA display drivers described in

“Installing NVIDIA Display and Chipset Drivers for Windows XP” on page 16 .

Installing RAID Drivers Using a Boot Diskette
