Installing the RAID160 SA Controller
Setting up a RAID160 SA Controller As a Boot Device
Chapter 4 99
• You must have the correct version of the product dependent code
(PDC) installed. See the HP A7143A RAID160 SA Release Notes for
information on the PDC versions needed for each of the supported
HP-UX systems. If you do not have the correct PDC version, contact
your HP representative.
• The RAID160 SA controller can only be connected to external disks.
The internal SCSI connections cannot be used.
• You must have RAID160 SA controller firmware version 3.32 or later
installed.
• HP strongly recommends having an alternate boot device available
(for example, a disk that is not controlled by the RAID160 SA
controller).
Installing HP-UX on a Logical Drive
To set up a RAID160 SA controller as a boot device, you must install
HP-UX on one of the controller’s logical drives. Follow this procedure:
Step 1. Start Ignite-UX from the HP-UX 11i version 1 Core OS Install and
Recovery Media for September 2003. The Ignite-UX “Welcome” screen
displays:
Welcome to Ignite-UX!
Use the <tab> key to navigate between fields, and the arrow keys
within fields. Use the <return/enter> key to select an item.
Use the <return/enter> or <space-bar> to pop-up a choices list. If the
menus are not clear, select the "Help" item for more information.
