These two lines can also be inserted in the .profile file and will then be automatically

processed during each login. The ICPCON program itself is copied during the SCO UNIX

installation into the /etc directory. ICPCON is loaded by entering:

icpcon ENTER

J.1.6 Loading ICPCON Under LINUX

The ICP System CDROM includes two archives:

Icpcon.tgz ICPCON and object files (intel)

icpcona.tgz ICPCON and object files (alpha)

These archives include all object files to create ICPCON, as well as an executable ICPCON

compiled on a current Linux version. If you encounter problems with this executable

ICPCON, you can easily compile a new ICPCON on your own Linux system:

unpack the tgz-file: 'tar xvfz icpcon.tgz'

compile ICPCON: 'make'

start ICPCON: './icpcon'

In order to be able to compile ICPCON you need the C-compiler and the Kernel sources on

your system. The link /usr/src/linux has to point to the Kernel sources which correspond

with the currently booted Kernel of your system. This is important for "signature.c" to use

the right magic for the communication with the driver. Otherwise it may happen that you

get "Wrong signature" when trying to start ICPCON.

ICPCON is loaded by entering:

icpcon ENTER

J.2 The ICPCON Program

As mentioned before, the ICPCON program appears identical for all operating systems.

Thus, we can demonstrate the use and functioning of this program regardless of the oper-

ating system used. In previous chapters we have already described the hierarchical struc-

ture of the ICP firmware. We have defined 4 different levels of hierarchy: Level 1 where the

physical devices named Physical Devices are found, level 2 containing the Logical Drives

(made up of one or several Physical Drives), level 3 where we have the Array Drives, and fi-

nally, level 4 where the Host Drives are. Only the latter ones are known to the operating sys-

tem. The drive of a given level of hierarchy is always set up by using the drives of the next

lower level as components. Accordingly, ICPCON has various menu options, each referring

to one level of hierarchy

Host Drives Level 4

Arrays Drives Level 3

Logical Drives Level 2

Physical Devices Level 1

The following summary gives you an overview of all Host Drive types you can create with

the ICP Firmware. The ICP Controller can simultaneously control several Host Drives of

most various types. For instance, MS-DOS drive C could be a Host Drive of the type disk

(consisting of a single hard disk), MS-DOS drive D is a type RAID 5 Array Drive, MS-DOS

drive E is a Host Drive of the type chain, and MS-DOS drive F is a CD-ROM which commu-

nicates with MS-DOS through corelSCSI and the GDT ASPI manager.
