The above recommends setting both channels to RAID. I
know that I have not tried that. All failures to date have
been with channel 1 set to RAID and channel 2 set to SCSI.
I'll reset channel 2 to RAID the next time I'm on site on
this install.

Now, can anyone translate that defbootstr instruction above
for use on SCO 6.0?


Steve,

There is no direct translation of this. OpenServer 6 includes the
drivers for the Dell Perc RAID 4 and if the Perc controller is
properly configured it should just be picked up at ISL.
