Host Operating System Notes
38 HSG80 Enterprise Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution Software V8.8 for Sun
Solaris Release Notes
Host Operating System Notes
The following section lists host-specific operating notes.
Host Operating System Support of Multi-Bus Failover
Multi-bus failover is supported on the Sun Solaris operating system through the
use of Secure Path software. See “Secure Path Software” on page 35, for version
compatibility and restrictions.
Solution Software Uninstall in Multi-Bus Configurations
When uninstalling the Solution Software Kit (CPQfcraid) from systems
configured with 3R-A351x-AA Series HBAs and Secure Path, HP recommends
that you also uninstall all 3R-A351x-AA Series HBA drivers in use, which will
allow Secure Path to correctly rediscover units.
SCSI-3 Mode
V8.8-1 Solution Software supports connections using SCSI-3 mode. A SCSI
generic driver is not supplied, so the CCL LUNs are ignored. The Solaris server
loses the ability to use two LUNs (D0 and D100). Any Agent connections to the
storage system must be done using an active LUN, not the CCL. To avoid this, use
SCSI-2 mode with the CCL disabled.
Host Function
The default operating system value for a connection is WINNT. For proper
operation, please change this to SUN by using the following CLI command
(example is given for the connection named
!NEWCON01):
HSG80> SET !NEWCON01 OPERATING_SYSTEM=SUN
Dynamic Reconfiguration
Dynamic Reconfiguration is supported by the included HBA drivers.
A Storage System Name Cannot Use a Pipe Character
When adding a storage system, do not use the pipe character ( | ) in the name.
