Operating Systems SCO Creating a VM Post 302992763 by jgt on Wednesday 1st of March 2017 11:26:57 AM

Creating a VM
Also, in my tinkering around I was able to get SCO installed on a VM, using VM Workstation version 12.5 in a Windows 7 Pro-64 computer. I chose the VM Workstation 8.x compatibility model for my VM, an IDE hard drive at 0:0 and an IDE CD Rom at 1:0 using the physical drive of the computer. Using the defbootstr command at installation it went like a champ. I even installed the keyboard mouse and the graphic screen/mouse is working. The only problem I have is I can't find instructions about how to install the network card driver. I selected "bridge mode" when I created the VM, and SCO did not recognize my NIC at installation, it is a Realtek PCIe GBE Family NIC on the mother board. I believe it is compatible with 5.0.6a, and I think I found the driver, but I have no clue how to get it installed. My only option is from a CD (I think) and I don't know how to do that. The Software Manager does not recognize what I downloaded and burned to the CD as "software" and I am clueless - could you advise me? I can't find any instructions online. I would like to have this VM as a "backup" plan, I would not use it unless the physical server goes down again. Thanks again for all your help.

Run netconfig to add a new network card.
How the driver is installed depends upon the format of the device driver file.

If it is VOL.000.000 then it is installed through 'custom'. Otherwise it may have a setup or intall binary or script, or it may install using pkgadd.

chxge

chxge(7D)							      Devices								 chxge(7D)

NAME

       chxge - Chelsio Ethernet network interface controllers

SYNOPSIS

       /dev/chxge

DESCRIPTION

       The  chxge  Ethernet  driver  is  a   multi-threaded,  loadable,  clonable, STREAMS hardware driver supporting the connectionless Data Link
       Provider Interface, dlpi(7P), over Chelsio NIC controllers. Multiple (and  mixed) NIC controllers installed within  the	 system  are  sup-
       ported  by  the driver. The chxge driver provides basic support for the NIC hardware. Functions include chip initialization, frame transmit
       and receive, and error recovery and reporting.

APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE

       The cloning, character-special device /dev/chxge is used to access NIC devices installed within the system.

CHXGE AND DLPI

       The chxge driver is dependent on /kernel/misc/gld, a loadable kernel  module  that  provides the chxge driver with  the	DLPI  and  STREAMS
       functionality required of a LAN driver. See gld(7D) for more details on the primitives supported by the driver.

       The values returned by the driver in the DL_INFO_ACK primitive in response to the DL_INFO_REQ are:

	   o	  Default Maximum SDU is 1500 (ETHERMTU).

	   o	  dlsap address length is 8.

	   o	  MAC type is DL_ETHER.

	   o	  The  sap  length value is  -2, meaning  the  physical address component is followed immediately by a 2-byte sap component within
		  the DLSAP address.

	   o	  Broadcast address  value is Ethernet/IEEE  broadcast address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF).

FILES

       /dev/chxge		    Character special device.

       /kernel/drv/sparcv9/chxge    SPARC chxge driver binary.

       /kernel/drv/chxge	    x86 platform kernel module. (32-bit).

       /kernel/drv/amd64/chxge	    x86 platform kernel module. (64-bit).
