7. Install the appropriate HP Scalable NAS kernel. To install the binary kernel, run
the following command:
# rpm -ihv kernel-HPPS-<kernel-version>.370.<xxxx>.x86_64.rpm
After installing the RPM, verify the bootloader. Check the file /boot/grub/
menu.lst and verify that the default is set to the HP binary kernel.
NOTE:
If you need to compile third-party kernel modules or build a custom kernel,
see Appendix B, page 99.
8. Reboot the server.
9. Install HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software 3.7.0 from the product CD or the
location where you have downloaded the software.
# rpm -i <mountpoint>/pmxs-3.7.0-<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm
10. Run the mxcheck utility, which verifies that the server’s configuration meets the
requirements for running HP Scalable NAS. Issue the following command. Output
from the utility appears on the screen and is also written to the /var/opt/
hpcfs/mxcheck or /var/opt/polyserve/mxcheck directory. We
recommend that you fix any problems identified by mxcheck before you continue
the upgrade.
# /opt/hpcfs/bin/mxcheck -l -p -t - install
11. Install the Management Console and mx utility.
# rpm -i <mountpoint>/mxconsole-3.7.0-<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm

14. Load the HP Scalable NAS default HBA driver and verify that the server has
access to the SAN storage. Run the following command to load the driver:
# /etc/init.d/pmxs load
15. Next, run the following command to see a list of devices. Review the output to
verify that the SAN is configured as you expect.
