Preparing the Host System
3–9HSG80 ACS Solution Software Version 8.7 for Compaq Tru64 UNIX Installation and
Configuration Guide
3–9
The LUN is now accessible to the filesystem just as a disk device would be. The
filesystem can not see the RAID functionality and number of physical devices
attached to the HSG80 controller. This device appears as a single LUN or “disk” to the
user as viewed by the filesystem.
DECsafe Available Server Environment (ASE)
HSG80 disk devices can be used with the DECsafe Available Server Environment
(ASE) for Tru64 UNIX provided a valid Host configuration (including Host adapters)
is used to support them. Refer to the Tru64 UNIX ASE Installation and User’s Guide,
Software Product Description, SPD: 44.17.xx, for further information. Refer to the
Release Notes for supported host adapters and Tru64 UNIX version levels for ASE.
Using genvmunix
NOTE: This section on genvmunix does not apply to Tru64 UNIX V5.1x, since the configuration
file has a different format for devices.
If you use genvmunix to initialize the system and doconfig to build a new configuration
file, the new configuration file will only list the HSG80 LUN 0 units; nonzero LUNs
will not appear in the new configuration file.
Before rebuilding a configuration file using genvmunix, save any existing customized
configuration file that has entries for HSG80 units. After rebuilding the configuration
file, add the entries from the saved configuration file to the new configuration file.
HSG80 Units and Tru64 UNIX Utilities
This section contains notes on the interactions of some Tru64 UNIX utilities with
storage units in your Enterprise Storage RAID Array storage system.
Add recognition for LP8000 adapter
By default, the base operating system in V4.0G and later, including V5.0 recognizes
the LP8000. Patch kits for V4.0F are available to add support for the LP8000 along
with the 1.12 emx driver.
If installing this driver kit, the INSTALL/BINSTALL scripts will automatically check
for and add LP8000 support to your system. If you manually add support for the
LP8000 to your system, you must add an entry for the LP8000.../etc/sysconfigtab
under the “emx:” section.
