equipment. Appendix C describes how to access and use online SunPCi Web sites and resources.

xxxvi SunPCi III 3.2.1 User’s Guide • March 2004

Appendix D includes suggestions and tips to improve SunPCi III performance. The glossary includes definitions of terms used with SunPCi.

Using UNIX Commands

This guide does not contain information about basic UNIX®commands and procedures such as shutting down the system, booting the system, and configuring devices. See one or more of the following for this information:

■ Software documentation that you received with your system

■ Solaris operating environment documentation, which is located at:

http://docs.sun.com

Document Conventions

This guide uses certain document conventions. The following sections explain the conventions and how to interpret them.

Solaris Command Windows

In this guide, you are often instructed to open a command window when performing various tasks. In the Solaris Common Desktop Environment (CDE), these command windows are called Console or Terminal windows. In OpenWindows™ environments, you can use either a Solaris Command Tool window or Shell Tool window. Command windows are a standard part of the Solaris operating environment where you enter UNIX commands.

SunPCi III Keyboard Shortcuts

The SunPCi III software provides keyboard shortcuts for the options on the SunPCi III menus. To see these shortcuts, click the left mouse button on the SunPCi III menu until the drop-down menu appears to view the keyboard shortcut.

xxxviii SunPCi III 3.2.1 User’s Guide • March 2004

In CDE and OpenWindows environments, keyboard shortcuts use the Meta key (

FIGURE P-1) in combination with another key. The Meta key is located on either side

of the spacebar on your keyboard. To use a shortcut, hold down the Meta key and press the second key. For example, the Meta+E key combination means “press both the Meta key and the E key at the same time.”

FIGURE P-1 Sun Keyboard Meta Key

Note – The discussion in this section applies only to the keyboard shortcuts in the

SunPCi III software. Keyboard shortcuts for each version of Microsoft Windows and Linux are described in each operating system’s documentation.

When running SunPCi III software and Microsoft Windows, to allow Copy and Paste operations, the Find, Undo, Copy, Paste, and Cut keys on your Sun system keyboard are mapped to the appropriate actions in Microsoft Windows.

Note – Not all Linux applications support the Cut, Copy, and Paste keyboard

commands. If this issue happens, use the drop-down menus of Cut, Copy, and Paste instead in Linux applications.

Supported Citrix MetaFrame Software

Citrix MetaFrame software enables Solaris clients to display and use SunPCi III 3.2.1 software running the Windows 2000 Server operating system on a remote host. Citrix server software must be installed on an emulated drive that contains Windows 2000 Server operating system software and that is attached to a SunPCi III card.

When the server is configured to use Virtual Network Computing (VNC), you can boot SunPCi III software as part of server startup, eliminating the need to specifically start the SunPCi III software before clients can use it.

SunPCi III 3.2.1 hardware and software support use of the following Citrix MetaFrame products:

Starting and Stopping the SunPCi III Software

This section provides instructions for starting and stopping the SunPCi software.

▼ How to Start the SunPCi III Software

● To start the SunPCi software, open a terminal window and type the following

command at the Solaris prompt

% /opt/SUNWspci3/bin/sunpci

When you start the SunPCi III software for the first time, the software creates a Solaris directory named ~/pc, into which several SunPCi III files are installed.

You then see a SunPCi splash screen and the SunPCi window opens.

Note – If you modify the $path statement in your .login file, you can create a

shortcut to open SunPCi. For information about customizing the SunPCi path, refer to your Solaris software documentation.

▼ How to Exit the SunPCi III Software

Stopping the SunPCi software involves two steps: closing Microsoft Windows or Linux and then closing the SunPCi software.

Caution – Always close Microsoft Windows or Linux before exiting from SunPCi

software or your files and applications could become corrupted.

Chapter 2 Getting Started 11

▼ Shutting Down SunPCi III Software

1. Click Start and choose Shut Down.

The Shut Down Windows dialog box opens.

2. Click the “Shut down” option.

3. Click OK.

Microsoft Windows closes and the SunPCi window remains open, with the SunPCi splash screen displaying “You may now exit or reset SunPCi.”

4. From the File menu in SunPCi, choose Quit.

The SunPCi Exit dialog box opens.

5. Click Quit.

SunPCi III closes.

Note – You can also shut down SunPCi gracefully by choosing Quit from the File

menu. The Quit dialog box opens and you then click the Shutdown x86 OS and Quit SunPCi button, which allows SunPCi to exit gracefully.

Note – The specific terminology might be different than described above in different

operating systems, although the procedure is the same.

Emulated Drives and SunPCi III Software

In order to emulate a PC, SunPCi III software creates a file in Solaris software and configures the file so that OpenDOS and Microsoft Windows or Linux see the file as a physical drive. This type of file is a SunPCi III emulated hard drive.

After you install the SunPCi III software as detailed in the SunPCi III Quick Start Installation Guide, you create a default C: drive and assign it to an emulated drive file. By default, all SunPCi III windows are booted from this drive C: and use the startup files located on the drive.

12 SunPCi III 3.2.1 User’s Guide • March 2004

Note – You can create several C: and D: drive files, each with different applications

and configurations, and attach a drive as needed. Only one C: drive and one D: drive can be active at any one time, and a file cannot function as a C: drive and a D: drive at the same time.

Creating an Emulated Drive

The first time you start SunPCi software, a dialog box opens asking you to create an emulated C: drive. You then click Create and the Create a New Emulated Drive dialog box opens, which allows you to do the following:

■ Select an operating system to automatically install

■ Specify a size for the emulated drive

■ Specify whether to attach the emulated drive

■ Specify the directory and name for the emulated drive

Selecting an operating system to automatically install (auto-install) simplifies installation. When you specify an operating system to auto-install, the software automatically finds and copies setup files, boot files, system files, and drivers that are appropriate for that operating system.

The emulated drive is a single file that SunPCi creates in the Solaris environment. By default the file is named OSNAME.diskimage,suchasXP.diskimage. By default the location is in the ~/pc directory in your home directory.

You can selectively attach this emulated drive to any available SunPCi III card. You can install a different operating system on each drive, then attach it and boot from it to run that operating system on your SunPCi III card. A SunPCi III card can run only one operating system at a time.

If you have only one SunPCi III card installed, you can accept the default file name for the emulated drive in a standard installation. If you have multiple cards installed, consult the section “Configuring Multiple Cards With SunPCi III Software” on page 23.

Within Microsoft Windows, because of the inherent limitations of DOS, when you create an emulated drive of up to 40 Gbytes that uses the FAT16 file system, that portion above 2 Gbytes in size is unavailable to DOS. All Microsoft Windows operating systems can use a FAT16 disk, but FAT16 format capacity is restricted to a maximum of 2 Gbytes. You can reformat, convert, and/or repartition the emulated drive to access the disk portion beyond 2 Gbytes after you have installed your Microsoft Windows operating system.

Chapter 2 Getting Started 13

Tip – If you choose the automatic installation of a Microsoft Windows operating

system using NTFS, you are not constrained by the limitations of DOS.

When the emulated drive i s created for Linux, the drive is not partitioned. So, if this emulated drive is a boot disk, the partitioning and formatting will be completed during installation. If the emulated drive is not a boot disk, you must complete partitioning and format the drive using Linux tools. Refer to your Linux documentation for additional information.

▼ How to Create a New Emulated Drive

1. Start the SunPCi III software.

If you have not created an emulated drive previously for the SunPCi III card, the Create a New Emulated Drive dialog box opens automatically.

2. Open the Create a New Emulated Drive dialog box by doing one of the following:

■ If this is the first time you are creating an emulated drive for the SunPCi III card,

a dialog box prompts you to open the Create a New Emulated Drive dialog box after installing the SunPCi III software.

■ If this is not the first time you are opening SunPCi III or need to create additional

emulated drives, from the Options menu in the SunPCi window, choose Create a New Emulated Drive.

Note – In GNOME, you can also choose the menu option, Create a New Emulated

Drive Druid, which performs the same action as in the Create a New Emulated Drive, except that you perform only one step at a time.

The Create a New Emulated Drive dialog box opens. See

14 SunPCi III 3.2.1 User’s Guide • March 2004

FIGURE 2-1.

FIGURE 2-1 Create a New Emulated Drive Dialog Box

3. In the Create a New Emulated Drive dialog box, select an operating system to auto-install.

■ If applicable, insert the first operating system installation CD-ROM into the Sun

system.

■ Select one of the operating systems from the drop-down list box to auto-install.

■ Select DR DOS 7.01 (Bootable) if you plan to do a custom installation of an

operating system at a later time. To install the operating system, you need to follow instructions in the corresponding chapter in this guide.

■ Select None (Unformatted disk) if you want to create a non-bootable drive

(a D: drive). Before you can use the drive, you need to format it. See your operating system documentation.

Caution – When you specify an operating system to auto-install and insert the

operating system CD into your CD-ROM drive, the software automatically finds and copies setup files, boot files, system files, and drivers for that operating system. Do not perform a custom installation unless you want to use customized installation scripts.

For Microsoft Windows operating systems, you can choose between creating the disk with the FAT16 file system or the NTFS file system. You cannot boot to OpenDOS using a C: that is drive formatted for the NTFS file system. This is a known restriction. See “FAT16 File System Limitation Issue” on page 151 for more information.

Chapter 2 Getting Started 15

4. Move the horizontal slider to set the drive size (in Gbytes) for the new drive.

The horizontal slider automatically sets to the recommended default size. The left end of the scale is restricted to the required minimum drive size for the operating system you selected.

With SunPCi III 3.2.1, you can use only 90% of the maximum free space available to create a new disk. For example, if you have 10 Gbytes of space available in the directory /home/twtone, the maximum allowable size is 9 Gbytes for that disk.

Note – For best performance, install your Microsoft Windows or Linux applications

locally on drive C: or D:.

5. Select the option on how to attach the new drive.

Click the C:, D:, or Do Not Attach radio button.

6. In the New Emulated Drive Filename drop-down list box, either select or type the path of the new emulated drive.

You can click Browse to view existing files. You must specify a new disk image name for the emulated drive, or accept the defaults.

For best performance, create your emulated drives on a local hard disk on your Sun system. Performance of Microsoft Windows or Linux is significantly better on a local hard drive.

7. Click OK.

The Disc Creation Process dialog box opens indicating progress of the disk file creation. When complete, the Reset SunPCi dialog box opens.

8. Click Reset Now.

The SunPCi software reboots.

9. If you chose to auto-install an operating system, insert the first installation CD into your CD-ROM drive when prompted and follow the instructions.

Refer to the specific operating system chapter for additional information. If you are installing multiple cards into your system, see “Using Multiple SunPCi III

Cards” on page 21. There are significant differences between configuring multiple cards and configuring a single card.

Multiple Cards Configuration Process

You can install multiple SunPCi III cards into an Sun server or Sun system. To configure multiple cards, follow this sequence:

1. Remove any previous versions of SunPCi cards (version 1.x or 2.x).

2. Remove any previous version of SunPCi software.

3. Install all the SunPCi III cards you plan to use.

4. Install the SunPCi III 3.2.1 software on your system.

5. Configure one card and its emulated drive software completely.

6. Configure the rest of your SunPCi III cards. See the SunPCi III Quick Start Installation Guide for complete instructions.

Caution – SunPCi III cards cannot coexist with earlier SunPCi cards. Your Sun

server or Sun system can only accommodate the same version of SunPCi cards.

You also need to clearly identify configuration files and cards before finalizing your software configuration and starting the software. You should have done this when installing the cards.

Advanced Server Support for Configuration Options

For advanced SunPCi III server support concerning SunPCi III memory, CPUs, and benchmark information, consult the SunPCi Web site:

22 SunPCi III 3.2.1 User’s Guide • March 2004

Configuring Multiple Cards With SunPCi III Software

The first time the SunPCi III software is started, a default filename.ini configuration file is created as ~/pc/SunPC.ini. This .ini file is specified from the sunpci command line to start the desired emulated C: or D: drive.

In a multiple card system, an emulated drive can be associated with only one card at a time. By default the drives attach to the next available card, although you can specify a particular card, if needed.

Default .ini Configuration File

In order to start an emulated C: or D: drive, that drive’s file name must appear in the default .ini file named SunPC.ini. The drive name insertion is done automatically when you create and attach drives using the SunPCi III software.

Also inserted into the SunPC.ini configuration file are the names of PC components and other information. PC components include the drive image file name or names, the CD-ROM device file name, a diskette device file name, and other devices such as printers or other peripherals.

Here is a sample listing of the content of a default SunPC.ini file created in a system with one card installed.

[Drives] A drive=/dev/rdiskette C drive=/home/user/pc/C.diskimage CD=/vol/dev/aliases/cdrom0 D drive=/net/host/export/SunPCi_III/D.diskimage

Naming .ini Files When Using Multiple Cards

When you install multiple SunPCi cards into the same system, you need to create multiple .ini files and emulated C: or D: drive images, one for each card. A particular card is not necessarily associated with a particular .ini file name.

Name files and disk images in a way that clearly identifies the .ini file and its associated C: and D: drive images. Up to two disk drive images are permitted in a single .ini file.

Chapter 3 Using Multiple SunPCi III Cards 23

One solution is to name the .ini file and its disk image using some identifying characteristic, such as the operating system installed on the disk image. You can only run one C: and one D: drive per card at a time.

TABLE3-1 Sample File Names in a Multiple Card Configuration

.ini File Names Disk Image Names Inside Each .ini File

SunPC.ini (default) C.diskimage

D.diskimage

win2k.ini C.win2k.diskimage

Unless you specify differently, the following convention is the default SunPCi III

3.2.1 graphical user interface (GUI) behavior when you use the sunpci command with the -n option. The stem of the specified .ini file name, for example win2k,is incorporated into the disk image file name as shown in

TABLE 3-1. The following

procedure illustrates this behavior.

▼ How to Create an .ini File Using the -n Option

The following procedure assumes that you have installed an additional card or cards into your system. To create a new .ini file, follow these steps:

1. At the Solaris prompt, type the following command:

% /opt/SUNWspci3/bin/sunpci -n filename.ini

By default, after creating an emulated drive name will use the .ini name as the default name for the emulated drive, such as c.filename.diskimage. You can edit the name if needed through the user interface.

The Create a New Existing Emulated Drive dialog box opens.

2. Click OK to accept the default disk image name.

Using Cards and Emulated Drives

Although an emulated drive must run on a SunPCi III card, the SunPCi III emulated drives are not forced to run on any particular card. By default any particular .ini file and its associated drive will start on any available card, and it is not possible to predict which card will be used. By default, SunPCi creates the SunPC.ini file during installation, which is located in the /pc directory on your system.

You can, however, start a drive and a specific card together. To do this, you need to identify the cards that are installed in your system.

▼ How to Identify Card Names

● To identify the name of each installed card, type the following command:

% /opt/SUNWspci3/bin/sunpci -l

The system displays the following information: the card’s name, the card’s device file name in the /dev directory, the card’s type, the card’s description, and the card’s ID or Ethernet (MAC) address.

What follows is sample output from a system with two cards installed.

Name = Card1 Device = /dev/sunpci3drv0 Type = SunPCi III Description = SunPCi III card ID = 08:00:20:F9:xx:xx

Name = Card2 Device = /dev/sunpci3drv3 Type = SunPCi III Description = SunPCi III card ID = 08:00:20:E7:xx:xx

Note – Instead of the ID message you could get the Card In Use message if one

of the cards is already running.

Chapter 3 Using Multiple SunPCi III Cards 25

▼ How to Start a Specific .ini File

By default, SunPCi software uses the SunPC.ini file when you use the sunpci command. To start a different emulated drive, which you must do in a multiple card configuration, use the sunpci command with the -p option. You then must enter the full path of the location of the .ini file.

● To start SunPCi software with a specific file using the -p option, type the

following command:

% /opt/SUNWspci3/bin/sunpci -p pathname.ini

Where

pathname is the full directory path of the .ini file, for example,

/home/my_directory/pc/SunPC.ini.

The SunPCi III software starts, using the referenced disk image. If you start an emulated drive with a card on which that drive was not created, you

get the following warning dialog box about the Ethernet (MAC) address:

This emulated drive image was created on another SunPCi card. This could cause problems if there was special hardware connected to that card. It could also cause problems if your installed software or configuration makes any assumptions about the MAC address.

Emulated Disk File /pathname/c.diskimage was created on the card with the MAC address

If you do not wish to see this message in the future, start sunpci with the -n option.

xx:yy:zz:zz:yy:xx

If application registration or network configuration setup is affected, you can use the

-n option, or you can bind the particular image and card by remapping the MAC

address to the disk image. If you want to bind the MAC address to the current disk image, use the

-B option

with the sunpci command. See “The sunpci Command and Its Options” on page 110 for more details.

▼ How to Start a Specific Card

Sometimes you might need to start a specific card with a specific C: drive. For example, you might want to run on a card with a printer that is attached to a port, or to run on a card that provides better support for a memory intensive application.

26 SunPCi III 3.2.1 User’s Guide • March 2004

● To start the SunPCi III software with a specific card, type the following command:

Starting Specific Disk Image Files

When you want to use the SunPCi software with different operating systems on different disk images, you can create additional C: drive image files for as many operating systems as you need to run. To install the operating system, refer to the appropriate chapter in this guide.

When you want to run a different operating system, close the operating system you are using and exit from SunPCi. Start the disk image you need using the sunpci command with the -p option.

▼ How to Start a Specific Image and a Specific

Card

By starting a specific image and a specific card, you can link an image and a card to ensure that a particular image is executing on a specific card.

Note – You can only run one operating system at a time per card.

● To start SunPCi software with a specific file and a specific card using the -p

and -c options, type the following command:

% /opt/SUNWspci3/bin/sunpci -p

The SunPCi III software starts, using the referenced disk image and card. If you start an image with a card on which it was not created, you get a warning

dialog box about the Ethernet (MAC) address, see “How to Start a Specific .ini File” on page 26.

pathname.ini -c cardname

Chapter 3 Using Multiple SunPCi III Cards 27

To open and run multiple SunPCi III cards on the same system, follow the directions above for opening each particular disk image and card. Although the .ini file is not dedicated to a particular disk image, you need to have an available .ini file for each card you open. Enter the full path location of the .ini file.

Updating the SunPCi III Card Configuration

You might need to add, remove, move, or replace a SunPCi III card. After doing this, you must update the SunPCi III Solaris drivers on the system.

To update the SunPCi III card configuration, complete the following procedure:

1. Remove the files /etc/Master.ini and /etc/Master.bak, if they exist.

2. Become superuser and type the following command:

# /opt/SUNWspci3/drivers/solaris/sunpcload

3. Reconfigure any Boot@Boot support if needed as it will be lost. Add and enable VNC and cards using the sunpcidadm command with the -a and -e options.

See “Configuring and Using Boot@Boot Support” on page 120.

4. Exit the superuser account and proceed as you would to start the software normally.

Rebinding Images and Cards

When a disk image file is created, the Ethernet (MAC) address of the card on which the disk image file was created is written into its header, binding the card to the disk image file. The binding is only informational, and does not interfere with running a C: or a D: drive on a different card. The sunpci command -B option rewrites the MAC address of the current card into the disk image file header.

This switch is rarely used. If you are remapping a C: drive in which the MAC address of the original card has been used by installed applications for registration or network purposes, you risk licensing and networking issues.

28 SunPCi III 3.2.1 User’s Guide • March 2004

Before attempting to reconfigure the binding of any disk image, verify that you have read and understood the sunpci and the sunpciflash command-line options. For more information, refer to “The sunpci Command and Its Options” on page 110.

Multiple Card Behavior

The following sections explain limitations or features of a SunPCi III session when running multiple cards installed in the same system.

Networking With Multiple Cards

Virtual networking is automatically disabled in systems with more than one card installed. Use physical networking with multiple card configurations.

See “Networking With SunPCi III Hardware and Software” on page 31 for more information.

Using the Diskette Drive With Multiple Cards

When multiple cards on a system are running, once the diskette drive is being used by a SunPCi III session, the drive is not available to any other session. When not in use, the diskette drive is locked to the first SunPCi III session started after it becomes available.

Using the CD-ROM Drive With Multiple Cards

When multiple cards on a system are running, they all share the system CD-ROM drive. One unusual, but expected behavior is that when you insert a CD into the drive, the Autorun option starts on all running SunPCi sessions.

CHAPTER

Networking With SunPCi III Hardware and Software

This chapter assumes that you have installed the SunPCi III card or cards into your Sun system, that you have installed the SunPCi III software, and that you want to understand what networking options are available with the SunPCi III 3.2.1 product.

This chapter includes the following topics:

■ “Networking With SunPCi III” on page 31

■ “Setting Up Networking With SunPCi III Hardware and Software” on page 33

This chapter includes instructions for completing the following tasks:

■ “How to Set TCP/IP Properties” on page 33

■ “How to Set Up Physical Ethernet Networking” on page 34

■ “How to Set Up Virtual Ethernet Networking” on page 34

■ “How to Use Power Management With Physical Networking” on page 35

Networking With SunPCi III

There are two ways to connect each SunPCi III card to your network:

■ Physical Ethernet – Use the external Ethernet connector on the back of the

SunPCi III card and connect the card to a second physical Ethernet connection.

■ Virtual Ethernet – Use the internal networking driver (NDIS driver) in the

SunPCi III software and connect through your system’s Ethernet connection.

Note – When more than one SunPCi III card is installed in a system, virtual

networking is disabled by the SunPCi III software.

Note – Only Physical Networking is supported with Linux.

Physical Ethernet networking is faster than virtual Ethernet, but it requires an additional port to connect to your network. This means that you need to have two separate Ethernet connections: one for your Solaris system, and one for your SunPCi III card.

Physical Ethernet networking eliminates the need for routing to a third host in order for the Solaris system and the SunPCi III card to communicate with each other over the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Once physical Ethernet networking is set up, you can “see” both your SunPCi III card and your workstation in the list of network hosts.

Virtual Ethernet networking eliminates the need for a second network port. You share a single Ethernet connection between your system and your SunPCi III card. If you use virtual networking, you are not able to generate a network path between your SunPCi III card and your host Solaris system until you set up network connections. When multiple cards are installed in a system, virtual Ethernet networking is permanently disabled.

For specific instructions on the networking drivers for your operating system, refer to the corresponding installation chapter.

■ To install the Windows XP Professional drivers, refer to Chapter 5.

■ To install the Windows 2000 drivers, refer to Chapter 6.

■ To install the Windows Server 2003 drivers, refer to Chapter 7.

■ To install the Red Hat Linux drivers, refer to Chapter 8.

Caution – When one SunPCi III card is installed with the SunPCi III software, you

can use either physical or virtual networking, but not both at once.

Note – When multiple cards are installed in your system, virtual networking is

automatically disabled and you need to configure the TCP/IP network protocols for all Microsoft Windows configurations.

32 SunPCi III 3.2.1 User’s Guide • March 2004

Setting Up Networking With SunPCi III Hardware and Software

Setting up networking with SunPCi hardware and software involves setting TCP/IP properties, setting up either physical or virtual Ethernet networking, and setting up network connections between SunPCi III cards and your Sun system.

▼ How to Set TCP/IP Properties

Before you can configure TCP/IP, you need to obtain certain information from the network administrator at your site.

1. Obtain the following information before you begin:

■ Your SunPCi III computer name (the name you enter when you install Microsoft

Windows or Linux)

■ If you are not using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain an IP

address, you also need:

■ The IP address for your SunPCi III card

Note – The IP address for your SunPCi III card must be different from your Sun

system’s IP address.

■ The subnet mask for your site’s network

■ The IP address for your router or gateway (if used)

Note – If you are using virtual networking, you cannot use DHCP for both your

Sun system and the SunPCi III card.

■ The host name, domain name, and IP address for each Domain Name Service

(DNS) server at your site (if used)

2. To configure TCP/IP, open the Network icon in the Control Panel in Microsoft Windows or choose Network from the System Settings in Linux.

Enter the information you obtained into the corresponding fields. For more information, refer to your operating system documentation.

Chapter 4 Networking With SunPCi III Hardware and Software 33

Note – Microsoft Windows and Linux provides a number of different ways to install

hardware. Follow the instructions in this section, even if you have installed hardware before.

▼ How to Set Up Physical Ethernet Networking

To configure the physical Ethernet network, perform the following steps:

1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the SunPCi III card.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the network’s Ethernet port.

3. Restart your operating system software.

4. If you have not already set up TCP/IP, refer to the previous section.

▼ How to Set Up Virtual Ethernet Networking

Note – When more than one SunPCi III card is installed in a system, virtual

networking is disabled by the SunPCi III software.

If you changed networks or network properties, or if you did not set up the network during the installation process, you need to configure TCP/IP to connect to your network. Refer to the documentation that came with your version of Microsoft Windows and to “How to Set TCP/IP Properties” on page 33.

● To configure virtual networking:

■ In Windows XP Professional, refer to “Configuring Virtual Ethernet Networking

for Windows XP Professional” on page 46.

■ In Windows 2000, refer to “Configuring Virtual Ethernet Networking for

Windows 2000” on page 62.

■ In Windows Server 2003, refer to “Configuring Virtual Ethernet Networking for

Windows Server 2003” on page 78.

Note – If you are using DHCP with virtual networking, you might observe that the

network takes several minutes to start after you configure the network and restart Microsoft Windows. This is normal behavior during the first reboot after you set up the network.

38 SunPCi III 3.2.1 User’s Guide • March 2004

▼ How to Perform a Custom Installation

Caution – When you specify an operating system to auto-install in the Create a

New Emulated Drive dialog box, the software automatically finds and copies setup files, boot files, system files, and drivers that are appropriate for that operating system. The software also launches Windows Setup when SunPCi software reboots. Do not perform a custom installation unless you want to use customized installation scripts.

1. Create a new emulated hard drive and auto-install the DR DOS 7.01 operating system software.

See “Emulated Drives and SunPCi III Software” on page 12. Set options in the Create a New Emulated Drive dialog box as follows:

■ Select DR DOS 7.01 (Bootable) as the operating system to auto-install.

■ Be sure to make the drive at least 2 Gbytes in size, which can be expanded later if

needed.

■ Attach the drive as a C: drive.

■ For best performance, create your emulated drives on a local hard disk on your

Sun system or server.

The SunPCi III software reboots. The OpenDOS prompt (C:\>) opens.

2. Install the SunPCi III drivers.

The default location for the Windows XP Professional files is r:\cdrom\cdrom0\ i386. However, if your Windows XP Professional files reside at a location other than

the default one, you need to use the /s: switch to specify where the files are located. For example, if your Windows XP Professional disk image is located in your Solaris directory at /export/home/winxp, you would access it from the R: drive in OpenDOS.

Note – Copy all the contents of the installation CD files to the winxp folder before

starting the installation.

Type the following command all on one line:

C:\> f:\drivers\winxp\setupwxp /s:r:\export\home\winxp\i386

The setup process takes a few minutes to complete.

Installing Windows 2000

Caution – SunPCi III 3.2.1 does not support simultaneous operation of Windows

2000 on both the system and external monitors.

Installation Notes

Make sure that you have the following media and information available before you begin installation:

■ Windows 2000 retail installation software CD

■ Customized installation scripts, if needed

■ The network system name for each SunPCi III card installed in your system

■ The workgroup or domain name for your Windows 2000 installation on each

SunPCi III card installed in your system

▼ How to Perform a Custom Installation

Caution – When you specify an operating system to auto-install in the Create a

1. Create a new emulated hard drive and auto-install the DR DOS 7.01 operating system software.

See “Emulated Drives and SunPCi III Software” on page 12. Set options in the Create a New Emulated Drive dialog box as follows:

■ Select DR DOS 7.01 (Bootable) as the operating system to auto-install.

56 SunPCi III 3.2.1 User’s Guide • March 2004

■ Make the drive at least 2 Gbytes in size, which can be expanded later if needed.

■ Attach the drive as a C: drive.

■ For best performance, create your emulated drives on a local hard disk on your

Sun system or server.

The SunPCi III software reboots. The OpenDOS prompt (C:\>) opens.

2. Install the SunPCi III drivers.

The default location for the Windows 2000 files is r:\cdrom\cdrom0\i386. However, if your Windows 2000 files reside at a location other than the default one, you need to use the /s: switch to specify where the files are located. For example, if your Windows 2000 disk image is located in your Solaris directory at /export/home/win2k, you would access it from the R: drive in OpenDOS.

Note – Copy all the contents of the installation CD files to the win2k folder before

starting the installation.

Type the following command all on one line:

C:\> f:\drivers\win2k\setupw2k /s:r:\export\home\win2k\i386

The setup process takes a few minutes to complete. When the setupw2k script finishes copying the Windows 2000 files to your C: drive,

it reboots the SunPCi III software. The Windows 2000 Setup screen opens. When Windows 2000 Setup has finished copying files, it reboots the SunPCi III software again.

Tip – The SunPCi III messages are for the Windows 2000 Professional setup. The

Windows 2000 Server messages differ slightly.

3. After the SunPCi III software reboots from the Windows 2000 window, choose Attach Mouse from the Options menu or press Meta-M to attach the mouse.

This enables the mouse to work with Windows 2000 during the installation process. Once the installation is complete, the proper mouse drivers are installed and you no longer need to attach the mouse manually.

4. Change directory to the location for your customized installation scripts.

5. Complete the installation using your customized installation scripts.
