Phew! It's been a long time since I did this but AFAIR it goes like this for a configuration like you are trying to achieve (boot from add-in disk in order to see data on an old controller).
Quote:
I managed to download the OpenServer 6.0 enterprise server installation media and the MPT driver and install it.
So you have installed the RAID controller driver???? How did you do that?? What command did you use?
From memory, I think it must be either.......
or
or
Now, to build such a configuration you would install SCO O/S on the new disk (which you have done) and then insert the RAID controller (okay it's already in there). You would then need to:
1. Run one of the above commands to add the RAID controller driver to the kernel.
2. Relink the kernel, say 'Y' to rebuild the boot environment, and reboot.
3. Run the same command AGAIN to add the disk(s) attached to the RAID controller into the kernel configuration. This will ask for stuff like bus# and unit# (like you would for a SCSI controller - unit# being SCSI ID, etc).
4. Relink the kernel AGAIN, say 'Y' to rebuild the boot environment AGAIN, and reboot AGAIN.
5. Now the device node (/dev/<whatever> should be there and the mount command is no different to any other disk.
6. If you configure the disk(s) wrongly you can run the command yet again to unconfigure, relink, and reboot. Then do it correctly.
I hope that helps. Perhaps you have installed the RAID driver, stopped there and not configured any disk(s)??????
As I said, this is all from memory. Another member, expert at SCO (jgt) might chip in and confirm whether I'm right or wrong.
