This chapter lists supplemental information to
|
|
the \f2IRIS Software Installation Guide.\f1
|
|
The information listed here is product- and release-specific;
|
|
use it with the Installation Guide to install
|
|
the Token Ring product.
|
|
.H 2 "General Information on Installation"

.H 3 "Installation Procedure Overview"
|
|
.br
|
|
The IRIS Token Ring product consists of a hardware component
|
|
and a software component.
|
|
The hardware component is a Token Ring board; the software
|
|
is on the CD-ROM.
|
|
To install the product, you must follow the procedures
|
|
in the overview below. The procedures must be followed in the
|
|
order they are listed.
|
|
.AL
|
|
.LI
|
|
Install the software, using the instructions in this document in
|
|
Section 2.2, ``Installing IRIS Token Ring Software.''
|
|
.LI
|
|
If your site uses locally assigned physical (MAC) addresses, follow the
|
|
instructions in the section ``Configuring the Board's Physical Address''
|
|
in Chapter 2 of the \f2IRIS Token Ring Administration Guide\f1.
|
|
.LI
|
|
Configure the software, using the instructions in Section 2.3,
|
|
``Configuring Network Interfaces.''
|
|
.LI
|
|
Power down the system and install the board, using the appropriate
|
|
installation guide or instructions for your hardware platform. The
|
|
installation manuals are the \f2Token Ring for IRIS Indigo Installation
|
|
Guide\f1, the \f2Token Ring for Indy Installation Guide\f1, and
|
|
the \f2Token Ring Controller Board Installation Instructions\f1
|
|
(for VMEbus systems). On the multi-VME-slot platforms, pay special attention
|
|
to the instructions on backplane jumpering if you leave empty lower
|
|
slots or if you have boards using DMA in higher-numbered slots.
|
|
All the token ring boards are shipped configured
|
|
to run on 16 Mbps rings. If your Token Ring local area network operates
|
|
at 4 Mbps, read section 2.5 ``About IRIS Token Ring and 4 Mbps Rings''
|
|
of these Notes.
|
|
.LI
|
|
Verify the Token Ring connection, using the instructions in the section
|
|
``Verifying the Network Connection,'' in Chapter 2 of the
|
|
\f2IRIS Token Ring Administration Guide\f1.

To install a different set of subsystems, use
|

|
installed, then select the ``go'' menu item.

.H 2 "About IRIS Token Ring and Diskless Workstations"

.P
|
|
A diskless Token Ring station must be configured in accord with the guidelines
|
|
in this section.
|
|
.AL
|
|
.LI
|
|
The station must have either two network interfaces
|
|
(an Ethernet from which to boot and a Token Ring)
|
|
or a local CD-ROM player from which to boot and a Token Ring interface.
|
|
The remaining text and guidelines apply only to stations that boot
|
|
over an Ethernet.
|
|
.P
|
|
A diskless workstation (client) must boot (from its server) over
|
|
its Ethernet connection,
|
|
hence, the diskless station must have both
|
|
Ethernet and
|
|
Token Ring connections, if it wants to use resources on a Token Ring network.
|
|
Use the command below to display the station's network interfaces, then
|
|
verify that one of the IP addresses in the display is for an Ethernet and
|
|
one is for a Token Ring local area network:
|
|
.rs
|
|
.sp +.03i
|
|
\s-1\f7% \f8/usr/etc/netstat -in
|
|
.Ee
|
|
.LI
|
|
The \f2netaddr\f1 value in NVRAM must be an Ethernet IP address.
|
|
.P
|
|
The station's PROM must use the
|
|
Ethernet connection
|
|
for booting over the network.
|
|
To verify that the system's PROM can access the Ethernet,
|
|
use the commands below.
|
|
The values for \f2netaddr\f1 and \f2inet\f1 must match.
|
|
.sp +.03i
|
|
\s-1\f7% \f8/etc/nvram netaddr

|
|
Ethernet must be configured as the primary network interface.
|
|
.P
|
|
Once the PROM has loaded the miniroot (bootstrap kernel) from the boot server,
|
|
control is passed to the miniroot.
|
|
At this point, the diskless client is known to the
|
|
boot server by the IP address in the NVRAM.
|
|
If this address were to change at this point,
|
|
the server would become confused and the boot process would not complete.
|
|
The best and easiest way to prevent this from happening
|
|
is to configure Ethernet
|
|
(and build the miniroot with Ethernet)
|
|
as the primary network interface.
|
|
.P
|
|
To verify that Ethernet is configured as the primary network interface
|
|
and Token Ring is the secondary, use the commands below,
|
|
where \f2Ethernetinterface\f1 is \f2ec0\f1, \f2enp0\f1, \f2et0\f1,
|

The IRIS Token Ring product is shipped with a configuration

local area network operates at 4Mbps, you will need to change
|
|
this configuration.

before you plug the board into the system.

.br

.sp
|
|
If you are installing a GIO board (in an IRIS Indigo or Indy) this
|
|
change should be made in software after the board is installed and
|
|
before the board is attached to the ring. To do so, follow the
|
|
instructions above for installing software, configuring addresses
|
|
and installing the board. However when you install the board, do not
|
|
attach it to the ring yet. When you power up the system the first time
|
|
after installing the board, you will be asked if you want to rebuild
|
|
the system. Reply yes, then reboot to run on the new system. Since
|
|
the board is not attached to the ring, it will report an error:
|
|
.br
|
|
gtr0: OPEN: Lobe media test phase: Function failure.

This is expected. Now log in as root and do the following:
|
|
.sp +.03i
|
|
\s-1\f7# \f8/usr/etc/trconfig gtr0 -s 4
|

|
using the command
|
|
.br
|
|
\s-1\f7# \f8/usr/etc/trconfig gtr0 -v

Now attach the board to the ring and reboot once again to complete
|
|
the installation process.
