在INDIGO2上安装IRIX6.5.17碰到的问题
装这个系统唯一就是”放光盘“先放第一启动,第二,FOUNDATION 1 、2在按顺序放,,,少一张就会提示你。。
Installing IRIX 6.5.x for Onyx1, Onyx2, OCTANE, O2 and IMPACT With Discreet CD-ROMs
Revision 2.40
The CDROM based installation requires the following, replace the X with the versions you want to install , For Installing 6.5.X you need a minimum of 1.5 GB on space left on you system disk. (1.5 GB , is the maximum size 6.5.X take in your system disk ).
Package Upgrade IRIX 6.5.X Overlays
IRIX 6.5.X Installation Tools and Overlays (1 of 2)
IRIX 6.5.X Overlays (3 of 3)
IRIX 6.5.X Applications
Package basic IRIX 6.5
IRIX 6.5 Foundation 1
IRIX 6.5 Foundation 2
OCTANE/IMPACT Video <Only needed if you have an IMPACT or OCTANE >;
Divo 2.1 for 6.5 <Only needed if you have an Onyx2>;
Sirius for 6.5 <Only needed if you have an Onyx1>;
SGI HiPPI 3.2 and Essential HiPPI for 6.5 <Only needed if you have a HiPPI network>;
(Located on the Beta2 software CD-ROM)
ONC3/NFS versions 3, for IRIX 6.2 6.3 6.4 and 6.5 <All platforms>;
Useful address: http://support.sgi.com/6.5/installing.html
Note: Percentages and numbers (Such as Disk Block Numbers) are provided only for examples; More than likely, your system will have different numbers than those we have specified in this document. Also, Be sure to read the sections as they contain some valuable information for some cases.
If your system is on a Network, it is recommended to keep a copy of the files required to setup the network after this upgrade. These files may include:
/etc/hosts, /etc/sys_id, /etc/ethers, /etc/TIMEZONE, /etc/net, /etc/sendmail.cf, /etc/exports, /etc/host.equiv, /etc/aliases, /etc/initd.conf, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/fstab, /etc/group, /etc/config/*, /etc/init.d/network.local, /etc/passwd, /var/yp/ypdomain, etc.
Ask your system administrator for more information.
Steps to install IRIX 6.5.X from Scratch:
1. Backup your existing system disk
2. Reformat and exercise the drive (Optional but recommended by Discreet Logic Technical Support )
3. Install IRIX 6.5.X
4. Setup the network information
5. Load setup files from the system disk backup
Step 1: Back up your system disk
It is very important that you backup your System Disk because when you install IRIX 6.5.X, you will lose all information currently stored on it. It is recommended that you do the two following steps:
A. BACKUP: When you install IRIX 6.5, you will lose all of the data on your system disk. Use the Backup command to make a tape backup of entire system. You should backup:
1. Login as root
2. Determine the SCSI controller number and device unit number of the tape drive from the hardware inventory. Type:
hinv | grep Tape
The hardware inventory “ hinv ” line for the tape drive appears, and looks similar to:
Tape drive: unit 2 on SCSI controller 0: DAT
3. Command to backup the entire system disk.
Backup –t /dev/mt/tps<controller#>;d<device#>;ns –i /
Where <controller#>; and <device#>; are the SCSI controller and device unit numbers you determined above from the hinv command.
B. TAR file: The setup files from the /usr/discreet home directory, the logical volume table (/etc/lvtab) if you are using a DL disk array, and any other files, software applications, and so on, that you want to keep and restore quickly.
1. Log in as root.
2. Determine the SCSI controller number and device unit number of the tape drive from the hardware inventory. Type:
hinv | grep Tape
The hardware inventory line for the tape drive appears, and looks similar to:
Tape drive: unit 2 on SCSI controller 0: DAT
3. Enter the tar command using the following format:
tar -covf /dev/mt/tps<controller#>;d<device#>;ns <filelist>;
where <controller#>; and <device#>; are the SCSI controller and device unit numbers you determined above from the hinv command, and <filelist>; is the list of directories you want to back up.
For example, if you are currently running flame* and smoke*, and want to backup /etc/passwd and /usr/people/MyAccount to tape:
tar -covf /dev/mt/tps0d6ns /usr/discreet /usr/people/MyAccount /etc/passwd
Note: It is important to gather the file list prior to using the tar command above because each time the above command is execute, the files on the tape will be overwritten. See your System Administrator for assistance or see the tar man page.
Step 2: Resize and exercise the drive. (optional)
This procedure takes about an hour to run. It is done to ensure that the disk is clean, free from bad blocks. It's recommended to exercise the drive for re-mapping all bad blocks.
1. Shut down the computer by typing
init 0
2. When this message appears:
Okay to power off the system now. Press any key to restart.
Click “Restart”.
3. When this message appears:
Starting up the system
Click, “Stop For Maintenance” or press Escape (Some systems may not display the “Stop for Maintenance” button).
4. Select “Enter Command Monitor” in the PROM Monitor. The Command Monitor appears.
5. Determine the unit and controller numbers for the CD-ROM drive. in the Command Monitor, type:
hinv
6. In the hinv listing that appears, look for a line similar to this:
SCSI CDROM :scsi(X)cdrom(Y)
Write down the SCSI controller (X) and CD-ROM unit (Y) numbers.
scsi (X) :____ cdrom (Y) :____
7. Start the fx utility by entering the following command, replacing X and Y with the values you determined above:
Put the CDROM: Installation Tools and Overlays (1 of 2)
Where X is for the Controllers numbers and Y the unit numbers for your CDROM
Invoke 'fx' from the IRIX Installation Tools CD, from the IRIX
Installation Tools and Overlays (1 of 2/3) CD, or from your first
IRIX CD whatever is appropriate..
If you want to run fx.ARCS and if you have the IRIX 6.5.1 Overlay
CD don't do it. Rather invoke 'fx' from the IRIX Installation
Tools CD.
If your CPU type is IP12 or IP17 the command (a single line) is:
boot -f dksc(ctlr,unit, sash.<cpu>;
dksc(ctlr,unit,7)stand/fx.<cpu>; --x
If your CPU type is IP19, IP20, or IP22 the command (a single
line) is:
boot -f dksc(ctlr,unit, sashARCS
dksc(ctlr,unit,7)stand/fx.ARCS --x
For IRIX 6.5.x:
For systems with the 32 bit ARCS PROM (Indigo, Indigo2, Indy,
Onyx, Challenge and O2), the command (a single line) is:
boot -f dksc(ctlr,unit, sashARCS dksc(ctlr,unit,7)stand/fx.ARCS
For systems with 64-bit ARCS PROM (for example, Power Challenge,
Power Onyx, Power Indigo2, Indigo2 10000, Origin, Onyx2, and
OCTANE) the command (a single line) is:
boot -f dksc(ctlr,unit, sash64 dksc(ctlr,unit,7)stand/fx.64
where <ctlr>; and <unit>; are the controller and unit numbers of the
CDROM drive as shown by 'hinv'.
To invoke 'fx' over the network from a CD with installation tools
mounted under CDdir on an installation server named server, enter
this command:
>;>; boot -f bootp()server:CDdir/stand/<fx_call_as_shown_above>;
For IP30 / IP27
boot -f dksc(X,Y, sash64 dksc(X,Y,7)stand/fx.64 -–x
or
boot -f cdrom(X,Y, sash64 cdrom(X,Y,7)stand/fx.64 -–x
For IP19 / IP22 / IP25 / IP32
boot -f dksc(X,Y, sashARCS dksc(X,Y,7)stand/fx.ARCS -–x
Some platforms require this syntax (in the hinv for the CDROM, it will say:
“CDROM: unit Y on SCSI Controller X, (cdrom(X,Y,7))”):
boot -f cdrom(X,Y, sash64 cdrom(X,Y,7)stand/fx.64 –-x
8. The output of the fx utility is shown below. Follow the actions written in bold.

Step 4: Set up network information (if applicable)
If your machine is on the network, set up the following files may be required:
/etc/hosts, /etc/sys_id, /etc/TIMEZONE, /etc/aliases, /etc/fstab, /etc/group, /etc/hosts.equiv, /etc/passwd, /var/yp/ypdomain, etc.
If you have SGI HiPPI network hardware:
a) Make a backup of the installed driver by typing:
cp /var/sysgen/boot/hps.o /var/sysgen/boot/hps.bak
b) Copy an updated driver by typing:
cp /CDROM/<DL beta software>;/<IPxx>;/dist/hippi/SGI/hps.o /var/sysgen/boot/
c) Finally type autoconfig –vf to rebuild the kernel and reboot your system.
Ask your system administrator for more information.
Step 5: Load setup files from the system disk backup
If you want to use setup files created in previous versions of Discreet Logic product, from the backup tape you created in Step 1.
To load the files from tape:
1. Make sure you are logged in as root.
2. Load the contents of the tape by using:
For The tape created in Step 1A:
Restore –t /dev/mt/tps<controller#>;d<device#>;ns <filelist>;
For the tape created in Step 1B:
tar xovf /dev/mt/tps<controller#>;d<device#>;ns <filelist>;
For example, to load the directories saved in the example in Step 1, you would type (on one line):
tar xovf /dev/mt/tps0d6ns /usr/discreet /usr/people/MyAccount
See your System Administrator for more information.
Warning: If those files already exist on the system disk, they will be overwritten by what you have just copied from the DAT/EXABYTE tape. Also note that some of the contents of these files may have changed from your previous operating system to IRIX 6.5.3, hence restoring should be used with EXTREME caution.
You are now ready to install the software!
