Installation Information
Listed below are some things to keep in mind when installing the PCI Mux product:
• You must install the PCI Mux hardware when the system is down.
• You must apply patches to HP-UX 10.20 prior to installation. These patches are listed in
“HP-UX Operating System Patch Dependencies” above.
• You must install the PCI Mux driver software before installing the Mux cards, to avoid a
second reboot.
• The kernel dynamically assigns the major number for the PCI mux when you install the
PCI Mux driver.
This major number can differ from system to system. However, once a major number is
assigned, it remains unchanged across reboots until the driver is removed. You can find
out the major number by entering the following command:
lsdev -d pci_mux0
(pci_mux0 is the driver name of the PCI Mux.)
