1 HP-UX Installation This chapter contains HP-UX installation information for the A6795A Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter and contains the following sections: • “Supported Configurations” • “Superdome Installation” • “Installation Prerequisites” • “Patches” • “Installing Driver Software” • “Installing the Adapter Online” • “Installing the Adapter Offline” • “Attach Other Devices” • “Verifying Installation” • “Verifying Connectivity” • “Interpreting Hardware Paths” Thank you for purch
HP-UX Installation Superdome Installation Superdome Installation Superdome systems are not intended for access by users. HP recommends that Superdome systems only be opened by a qualified HP engineer. Failure to observe this requirement can invalidate any support agreement or warranty to which the system owner might otherwise be entitled.
HP-UX Installation Installing Driver Software Installing Driver Software NOTE Use the following instructions if the driver is provided on a CD-ROM. If the driver software is downloaded, follow the instructions provided with that file. The driver software, FibrChanl-00, may be downloaded from http://software.hp.com. The FibrChanl-00 bundle is also provided on the Hardware Enablement CD. To load the driver from a CD-ROM, do the following: 1. Log in as root. 2. Insert the CD-ROM. 3.
HP-UX Installation Installing the Adapter Online Installing the Adapter Online The Online Addition and Replacement feature (OLAR for HP-UX 11i v1, or OL* for HP-UX 11i v2 and later HP-UX releases) allows PCI host bus adapters to be added, or replaced, without shutting down and rebooting the system, and without adversely affecting other system components. The system hardware uses slot-specific power control, combined with HP-UX operating system support, to enable these features.
HP-UX Installation Installing the Adapter Offline In some systems, the A6795A adapter is limited to use in specific slots. The following table identifies these limitations. Table 1-1 Server Name Product Number L1000 A5576A 8, 10, 12 L2000 A5191A 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 N4000 Rev. A A3639A 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 N4000 Rev. B A3639B 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 N4000 Rev. C A3639C If upgraded from A3639A or A3639B 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 NOTE Supported Slots rp54xx servers have slot restrictions for OLAR.

HP-UX Installation Attach Other Devices Attach Other Devices Attaching a Fibre Channel HBA to other Fibre Channel devices. 1. Be sure you have removed the Fibre Channel host bus adapter’s optical port protector (if included). 2. Be sure you have attached a connector cable to the Fibre Channel host bus adapter. Align the slotted plug with the keyed connector. Push the connector in until you hear it click. 3. Attach the free end of the cable to a compatible Fibre Channel device. 4.
HP-UX Installation Verifying Installation Verifying Installation 1. To verify the adapter installation, enter the command: ioscan -f 2. Verify that the following drivers appear for each installed adapter. If all drivers display, proceed to the next section, Verifying Connectivity. The ioscan output might look like the following. The third column represents the hardware path of the slot in which the adapter is installed. This path will be different for each installed adapter port.
HP-UX Installation Interpreting Hardware Paths 3. HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage installation is verified if the ioscan output lists all mass storage devices attached to the adapter. If any attached devices are not listed or appear as UNCLAIMED, see the Troubleshooting and Maintenance chapter of the HP Fibre Channel Adapters Support Guide.
HP-UX Installation Interpreting Hardware Paths Fibre Channel Topology of HBA Field Domain Area Value Information Fabric Topologies such as Public Loop and Direct Fabric Attach Private Loop The value depends on the Fibre Channel topology of the HBA. This field is typically the Domain ID of the switch to which the target device is attached. The value of this field is taken from the most significant byte of the N_Port ID of the target device. This field is set to 8.
HP-UX Installation Interpreting Hardware Paths Fibre Channel Topology of HBA Field Target Value Information The value depends on both the Fibre Channel topology and the LUN addressing method used. Fabric Topologies such as Public Loop and Direct Fabric Attach For LUNs with Peripheral Device Addressing, the value of this field is the lower 4-bits of the third byte of the N_Port ID of the target device.
