Installing the eeE8 Driver for UnixWare* 7 ======================================== To install the eeE8 driver for UnixWare 7: 1. Copy the eeE8.pkg file into any directory on the UnixWare system, such as in the /tmp directory. 2. Make sure no other users are logged on and all user applications are closed. 3. If there is an older version of either eeE or eeE8 driver on the system, first run 'netcfg' and remove any configuration using these drivers. Exit 'netcfg'. Reboot the system using "init 6". 4. Install the new driver using 'pkgadd'. For example: # pkgadd -d /tmp/eeE8.pkg 5. Add and configure the NICs. Refer to SCO UnixWare 7 documentation when installing NICs. To ensure predictable behavior when installing NICs, deconfigure all NICs and reboot the system prior to configuring new NICs or reconfiguring installed NICs. +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | It is recommended that all NICs be configured with the | | same driver type (i.e. either all eeE (DDI7) or all eeE8 (DDI8). | | System instabilities can result from mixing driver types. | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ 5a. Hot Plug enabled systems (see Note) require the eeE8 (DDI8) drivers and must only be configured using the Hot Plug utility. # scoadmin hot 5b. Systems not requiring Hot Plug PCI capabilities but wishing to use eeE8 (DDI8) drivers should use netcfg. # scoadmin network 5c. Use only netcfg to configure eeE (DDI7) drivers # scoadmin network 6. Reboot the system. NOTE: If you require Hot Plug PCI capabilities, the DDI 8 eeE8 driver must be used. The DDI 8 driver is supported on UnixWare 7.1.0 and later versions. Hot Plug PCI capabilities also require a Hot Plug Controller driver and the appropriate Hot Plug PCI ptfs. For more information about Hot Plug PCI capabilities please refer to the SCO UnixWare 7 documentation and to the SCO website www.sco.com. * Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
