-
- This chapter provides information about installing IRIS ATM
- software. The information listed here is product-specific;
- for general information about installing software, refer to
- the _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e.
-
- The IRIS ATM product consists of a hardware component and a
- software component. The hardware component is an IRIS ATM
- board and associated items; the software is on the CD-ROM.
- To install the IRIS ATM product, follow the procedures in
- the overview below. The procedures must be followed in the
- order they are listed.
-
- 1. Install the software, using the instructions in this
- document in Section 2.2, ``Installing IRIS ATM
- Software.''
-
- 2. Configure the software, using the instructions in the
- _I_R_I_S _A_T_M _C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e.
-
- Note: Do not configure IRIS ATM as the primary IP
- network interface. IRIS ATM as a primary IP
- network connection is not supported in this
- release.
-
- 3. Have an authorized field service engineer install the
- hardware using the field service document, _I_R_I_S _A_T_M
- _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _I_n_s_t_r_u_c_t_i_o_n_s.
-
- 4. Verify the ATM connection, using the instructions in
- the section ``Verifying the ATM Subsystem,'' in the
- _I_R_I_S _A_T_M _C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e.

-
- This section contains general information about the IRIS ATM
- software. This information is useful during installation
- and configuration.
-
- 2.1.1 _A_T_M__N_e_t_w_o_r_k__I_n_t_e_r_f_a_c_e__N_a_m_e_s During design, the
- logical IP network interface for each controller board that
- supports the IP network stack is given a name. The ATM
- network interface name is as specified below:
-
- _a_t_m# Unlike many network products that support only one
- IP network interface for each physical port, IRIS
- ATM can support multiple IP network interfaces on
- each port. The exact number of IP interfaces that
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 2 -
-
-
-
- are assigned to each IRIS ATM board is
- configurable, as described in Chapter 3 of the _I_R_I_S
- _A_T_M _C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e. There is no default
- configuration for IRIS ATM logical network
- interfaces. Each interface must be manually
- configured.
-
-
- 2.1.2 _I_R_I_S__A_T_M__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m_s Following is a description of
- the IRIS ATM subsystems:

- 2.1.4 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__M_e_t_h_o_d IRIS ATM does not include a
- release of IRIX (the operating system), so the operating
- system must already be installed. IRIS ATM can be installed
- without using the miniroot.
-
- Note: After installation, the IRIS ATM driver will not
- function until four additional steps are completed:
- (1) the IRIS ATM software is configured, (2) the
- board is installed, (3) the operating system is
- rebuilt, by restarting the system or using the
- _a_u_t_o_c_o_n_f_i_g command, and (4) the system is rebooted.

-
- This section describes how to install IRIS ATM software.
-
- Before starting the installation, use the command below to
- verify that IRIS ATM 2.1 (Origin) or ATM 1.0 (CHALLENGE) or
- earlier is not installed.
-
- % versions atm
-
-
- If the display indicates that IRIS ATM 2.1(Origin) or ATM 1.0 (CHALLENGE)
- or earlier is installed,
- use the command below to remove the software:
-
- # versions remove atm
-
- Caution: Failure to remove IRIS ATM 2.1 or earlier may
- destroy the MAC address on your IRIS ATM network
- controller (hardware).
-
- Otherwise, follow the instructions below to install IRIS
- ATM.
-
- 2.2.1 _P_r_e_r_e_q_u_i_s_i_t_e_s Your system must be running IRIX
- release 6.5. To verify the release your system is currently
- running, use the command below:
-
- % versions eoe
- I eoe _d_a_t_e Execution Only Environment 6.5
-
-
-
- 2.2.2 _P_r_e_p_a_r_i_n_g__f_o_r__I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n
-
- 1. Use the "live" (non-miniroot) installation method, as
- explained in chapter 4 of the ``_S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n
- _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e.''
-
- There are four sources possible for installing the
- IRIS ATM software: from a local peripheral device,
- from a remote peripheral device, from a remote
- Ethernet boot server (distribution directory), from a
- local distribution directory. These methods are
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 6 -
-
-
-
- summarized and explained in Chapter 4 of the _I_R_I_S
- _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e, where Table 4-1 provides
- an excellent overview.
-
- Notes: ``Local'' refers to connecting the CD-ROM (or
- tape) player directly to the target system (the
- system onto which you are installing software).
- ``Remote'' refers to loading the software over
- the target system's Ethernet network connection
- using a CD-ROM (or tape) device connected to a
- different Ethernet station.
-
- In order to install software from a remote
- distribution directory, your system must be
- physically connected to the Ethernet and it
- must have a functioning Ethernet connection.
-
- 2. Locate the following items:
-
- - For installation from a peripheral device, locate
- the CD-ROM disk containing IRIS ATM software. If
- you specially ordered another medium (for
- example, tape), locate that item.
-
- - For installation from a peripheral device, locate
- a device to play (read) the CD-ROM or tape. This
- device is not shipped with the IRIS ATM product;
- it belongs to your site.
-
- - For installation from a distribution directory,
- determine the host name of the Ethernet station
- and the path to the directory.
-
- 3. Set up the installation hardware.
-
- - If you are using a local device, follow the
- instructions in your system's owner's guide to
- connect the peripheral device.
-
- - If you are using a remote device, follow the
- remote workstation or server's instructions for
- attaching peripheral devices.
-
- - For installation from a distribution directory,
- verify that the IRIS ATM software has been loaded
- onto the station. A section of the _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e
- _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e provides
- instructions on preparing distribution
- directories.

- 2.2.3 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_i_n_g__t_h_e__S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e Use the live installation
- method to install the IRIS ATM software (atm). To install
- the default subsystems, use the "_i_n_s_t_a_l_l _a_t_m" and "_g_o"
- commands once you have invoked _i_n_s_t. Step-by-step
- instructions are provided in Chapter 4 of the _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e
- _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e.
-
- If you are not sure how to use _i_n_s_t, Chapter 5 in the
- _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e provides
- details.
-
- When you have finished installing the new software, follow
- the steps in the _I_R_I_S _A_T_M _C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e to configure
- the IRIS ATM subsystem.
-
- 2.3 _C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_i_n_g__a__D_i_s_k_l_e_s_s__S_t_a_t_i_o_n
-
- A diskless IRIS ATM station must be configured in accord
- with the guidelines in this section.
-
- 1. The station must have either two network interfaces
- (an Ethernet from which to boot and the ATM) or a
- local CD-ROM player from which to boot and an ATM
- interface. The remaining text and guidelines apply
- only to stations that boot over an Ethernet.
-
- A diskless workstation (client) must boot (from its
- server) over its primary Ethernet connection, hence,
- the diskless ATM station must have both Ethernet and
- ATM connections. Use the command below to display the
- station's network interfaces, then verify that one of
- the IP addresses in the display is for the Ethernet
- local area network attached to the _e_t_0 interface:
- % /usr/etc/netstat -in
-
- 2. The _n_e_t_a_d_d_r value in NVRAM must be an Ethernet IP
- address.
-
- 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 network, use the
- commands below. The values for _n_e_t_a_d_d_r and _i_n_e_t must
- match.
- % /etc/nvram netaddr
- _x_x_x._x_x_x._x_x_x._x_x_x
- % /_u_s_r/_e_t_c/_i_f_c_o_n_f_i_g _e_t_0
- . . .
- _i_n_e_t _x_x_x._x_x_x._x_x_x._x_x_x . . .
-
- 3. Ethernet must be configured as the primary network
- interface.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 8 -
-
-
-
- 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.
-
- To verify that Ethernet is configured as the primary
- network interface and ATM is another, use the commands
- below:
- # /bin/grep if1name /etc/config/netif.options
- <the display should be if1name=et0 or : if1name= >
- # /bin/grep atm /etc/config/netif.options
- <the display should be if#name=atm##>
-
- The next kernel build (for example, _a_u_t_o_c_o_n_f_i_g) will
- create an operating system in which Ethernet is the
- primary interface.
-
- Note: Once the miniroot is in control, the booting
- procedure is completed using NFSr over the network
- interface that the station's route daemon indicates
- is the shortest path to the boot server.
