Section 1. Novell NetWare Installation Overview

Installing NetWare on your network server requires two major steps:

Step 1: Preparing the bootable devices (creating a DOS partition, formatting the partition,

installing DOS, and connect the system to a CD-ROM drive.)

Step 2: Install NetWare and the appropriate HP NetServer mass-storage drivers.

Section 2. Automated Installation via the HP NetServer

Navigator CD

An Automated Installation utility is available on your HP NetServer Navigator CD

provided with your HP NetServer that will guide you through the Novell NetWare

installation. This utility will automatically create a DOS partition, format the partition,

install DOS, connect the NetServer to the CD-ROM drive, start the NetWare installation

process and install the appropriate NetServer drivers. To use this utility, first boot your

HP NetServer using the Navigator CD. Once at the NetServer Navigator Main Menu,

select the Configure the Server option. From the NetServer Navigator Mode Selection

for Configuring the Server menu select Guided Setup. Follow the on-screen

instructions to configure your system and install Novell NetWare.

Section 3. Creating the Drivers Diskette and Installing

the IDE CD-ROM Driver

NOTE: Installing NetWare without using the Automated NOS Installation feature

of the HP NetServer Navigator CD requires familiarity with DOS as well as

NetWare. If you are not familiar with these operation systems, please use the

Automated NOS Installation via HP NetServer Navigator CD.

Creating Drivers Diskette

Requirements

• HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM

• Blank formatted diskettes

To create a DOS/NetWare drivers diskette using the HP NetServer Navigator CD:

1. Boot your HP NetServer using the Navigator CD.

2. When prompted, select the desired operating system. Once the desired operating

system is highlighted select continue.

3. Once at the NetServer Navigator Main Menu, verify information in top right corner

of the screen, and then select Diskette Library.

4. Select the desired driver. Once the desired driver is highlighted, insert a blank

formatted 1.44 MB floppy diskette into the floppy drive and select Create

Diskette(s). (Manual installation requires NOS Drivers diskette).

5. Repeat step 4 until all desired driver diskettes are created.

6. Select the Exit icon located in the bottom left hand corner of the screen after all

driver diskettes have been created.

Installing the IDE CD-ROM Drive with FDATACD.SYS and

MSCDEX.EXE

To install Netware 4.2, you must first install a CD-ROM drive and driver in the DOS

environment by using the driver diskettes you created using the HP NetServer Navigator

CD.

NOTE: DOS CD-ROM drivers are available on the NOS Drivers Diskette in the

\Cdromdrv\IDEDOS directory.

1. Boot your HP NetServer using an MS DOS bootable utility diskette.

2. Use the fdisk utility to create a 250 MB primary DOS partition on the primary

drive(C:). Remember to set the partition to active.

3. Use the format utility to format 250 MB partition.

4. Install DOS. (For detail instruction, see the instructions in the NetWare

documentation.)

NOTE: If applicable, make sure to remark the DOS=HIGH and the

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS lines in the CONFIG.SYS file by inserting the

command REM at the beginning of each line (i.e., REM DOS=HIGH). Otherwise

NetWare may not function properly.

5. Insert the NOS Drivers Diskette created from the Navigator CD into the 1.44 MB

floppy drive (A:).

6. Create a subdirectory on drive Cby entering the command:

MD directoryname

where directoryname is a valid name for a directory (for example: doscdrom).

7. Copy all DOS CDROM drivers from drive Ato this subdirectory, by entering the

command:

Copy A:\CDROMDRV\IDEDOS\*.* C:\directoryname

8. Use the edit utility to add the following lines to your CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE=C:\directoryname\FDATACD.SYS /D:driver1

Where directoryname is the path to the directory containing the FDATACD.SYS

driver, and driver1 specifies the driver signature name of the first CD-ROM device

driver. The driver signature name must have fewer than eight characters, for example:

DEVICE=C:\DOSCDROM\FDATACD.SYS /D:HPCD000

NOTE: The MSCDEX driver is included with MS-DOS/Windows version 6.0 or

later. The MSCDEX driver also supports a driver signature parameter (for

example, /D:driver1). The name used for this parameter must match the name

used for the FDATACD.SYS driver signature parameter.

9. Use the DOS edit utility to add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:driver1 /L:logical drive letter

For example, if C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EX /D:HPCD000 /L:E is used, the CD-ROM

drive is assigned to the DOS logical drive E: If you do not use option /L:E, the system

will automatically assign a DOS logical drive for the CD-ROM drive.

10. Power down your HP NetServer.

Section 4. Installing NetWare on the HP NetServer

This section details how to install SCSI, NIC, and HP NetRAID drivers from the NOS

Drivers Diskette created from the HP Navigator CD-ROM detailed in the section

Installing the SMP driver MPS14.PSM for Netware 4.2

The Netware 4.2 installation program no longer auto-detects more than one CPU and asks

the user if they wish to install SMP. SMP installation is now performed from the "install"

utility after the initial installation of Netware 4.2.

The installation program will attempt to add an older version of the SMP driver. The

correct SMP driver is located on the Netware 4.2 NOS driver diskette you created from

the NetServer Navigator CD in the a:\psm directory or will be loaded automatically with

the installation of Support Pack 7 or later.

Installing the NetRAID-1Si / NetRAID-3Si I2O driver on Netware 4.2

The HP NetRAID-1Si and NetRAID-3Si adapters can operate in either I2O or non-I2O

(traditional) mode. To configure the adapter to operate I2O mode use the NetRAID

Express Tools (version B.02.02 or later) that came with your NetRAID adapter or on the

NetServer Navigator CD. The I2O drivers are located on the Netware 4.2 NOS drivers

diskette in the \i2odac directory.

NOTE: I20 functionality is not supported on NetServer E series systems.

1. After the server installation process is complete, enter the commands:

DOWN

and press Enter. Followed by:
