I have inherited a SCO Openserver 5.05 machine that is currently running two Portservers at remote offices. I need to add another Portserver at a new office. I have looked around on this subject but I have found conflicting docs. Some docs say to use /usr/bin/drpadmin other docs say that the entire driver needs to be reloaded. I cannot find drpadmin on the box does this mean I have a very old driver? If so how can I tell what version of the driver I have?
If drpadmin does not exist, chances are you are using an older driver. This can be confirmed with the following command from the UNIX root prompt:
swconfig | grep igi
If it is the older 2.x version of the driver, simply remove it and install the latest available for download from our web-site so a reinstallation will not need to be performed in the future.
You will want to back up the /etc/inittab, /etc/ttytype and the /etc/conf/init.d/ncxa files to keep the existing port settings. Print spoolers will not be affected.
The /etc/rc2.d/S86ncxa file will contain the current PortServer configuration information that will not need to be restored, however it should be kept for the IP and port information when re-adding the units in the new driver.
