Preparing the Host System
This chapter describes how to prepare your Tru64 UNIX host computer to
accommodate the HSG80 controller storage subsystem.
The following information is included in this chapter:
• “Installing RAID Array Storage System,” page 3–1
• “Making a Physical Connection,” page 3–6
• “Preparing LUNs for Access by Tru64 UNIX FileSystem,” page 3–6
• “DECsafe Available Server Environment (ASE),” page 3–9
• “HSG80 Units and Tru64 UNIX Utilities,” page 3–9
• “Solution Software Upgrade Procedures,” page 3–15
• “New Features, ACS 8.7 for Tru64,” page 3–20
Refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on how to install and configure the HSG Agent.
The Agent for HSG is operating system-specific and polls the storage.
Installing RAID Array Storage System
WARNING: A shock hazard exists at the backplane when the controller
enclosure bays or cache module bays are empty.
Be sure the enclosures are empty, then mount the enclosures into the rack. DO
NOT use the disk enclosure handles to lift the enclosure. The handles cannot
support the weight of the enclosure. Only use these handles to position the
enclosure in the mounting brackets.
Use two people to lift, align, and install any enclosure into a rack. Failure to use
two people might cause personal injury and/or equipment damage.
