Adding a Disk Drive The internal disk drives (A upper and B lower) are located in the back of the SPU. The internal disk drives are hot swapable when the proper software and hardware procedures are followed. To add a disk drive in the SPU, perform the following hardware steps: 1. Align the new disk drive into the disk tray and insert the four (2 on each side) mounting screws to secure the disk to the tray. 2. Align the disk and tray assembly to the empty slot in the back of the SPU. 3.
Once you have completed the addition of the disk drive, you must perform the Hot swap procedure: Hot Swap Software Procedure NOTE Step 1. HP often uses different manufacturers for disks having the same product number. This hot swap procedure will not automatically update the disk driver’s internal manufacturer information to that of the added disk drive. Do an ioscan on the added disk drive to ensure that it is accessible an also as a double check that it is a proper installation.
lvcreate -C y -r n root /dev/vgroot Step 9. Extend the mirrors onto the disk you’ve added. For example: lvextend -m 1 /dev/vgroot/root /dev/dsk/cXtXdX Step 10. Specify that logical volume be used as the root logical volume, for example: lvln -r /dev/vgroot/root At this point you will need to create a file system on the disk. Refer to your HP-UX system administration documentation.
Step 2. Create a physical volume using pvcreate with the -B option. -B creates an area on the disk for a LIF volume, boot utilities, and a BDRA (Boot Data Reserved Area). For example: # pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX Step 3. Create a directory for the volume group using mkdir. Step 4. Create a device file named group in the above directory with the mknod command. Step 5. Create the root volume group specifying each physical volume to be included using vgcreate.
lvextend -m 1 /dev/vgroot/root /dev/dsk/cXtXdX Step 12. Synchronize the mirrors. This may take several minutes as it will have to copy all the data from the original copy of the data to the mirrored extents. The logical volume(s) are still accessible to users’ applications during this command. #vgsync For example: #vgsync /dev/vg00 At this point the system should be fully functional.
Adding a Power Supply Before unpacking the new power supply, inspect the shipping carton for obvious damage. If damage to the shipping carton is observed, report it to the carrier immediately. Carefully unpack the new power supply. Check it for damage. If no damage is observed, proceed with the instructions that follow. If damage is noticed, do not install the power supply. Get a replacement power supply. WARNING Be careful lifting the power supply into the SPU, it weights approximately 7.88 Kg (17.5lbs.
7. Push the power supply into the SPU firmly until the insertion/extractor lever can hook under the extended tab on the SPU. 8. Push the insertion/extractor lever down, flush with the power supply. This firmly seats the power supply to the system board. 9. Tighten the two captive mounting screws. 10. Be sure the power cord associated with the power supply installed is connected at the back of the SPU. 11. Put the power switch, on the front of the power supply, in to the ON position.

Upgrading Secure Web Console Firmware The following paragraphs describe the procedures to upgrade your Secure Web Console (SWC) firmware. Secure Web Console Firmware (HP Direct) Upgrade Procedure To upgrade the firmware on your SWC proceed as follows: NOTE Before upgrading, end any sessions with the SWC using the [Close Console] menu option. If direct FTP access is not available (firewall, etc.) refer to Secure Web Console Firmware Upgrade Using A Local FTP Server later in this section.
NOTE Step 4. NOTE The path above is for demonstration only. The XX.X at the end of the example will be filled with the upgrade version you are installing. Select [OK] to launch the update process. As the upgrade progresses, you will see messages about the files being brought in and written into flash memory. The files will include: • APPLICATION.ROM • BOOTSTRAP.ROM • RESOURCES.ROM • upgrade.
CAUTION Permanent damage to the product may result if these instructions are not followed EXACTLY. CAUTION The transfer must be done in Binary mode and the local FTP server must be FTP accessible by the Secure Web Console. Do Not transfer the files from HP to the local server in ASCII mode. If you do, you will permanently disable the SWC. Failure to follow this precaution can cause the SWC to stop working. This failure is UNRECOVERABLE Step 7. Use the HP FTP site (192.151.11.
Step 8. Using FTP, transfer these files to an empty directory on your local FTP server. Ensure that the file and directory permissions are set so that ALL files can be read by the FTP user. CAUTION Ensure that no other files, beside those listed above, are in the local FTP directory. If the directory contains extraneous files, it may permanently damage the Secure Web Console. Step 9. 14 Perform the upgrade procedure using the [Upgrade] menu option on the Secure Web Console.
Add-On Memory Follow these procedures to add memory to an rp7400 server. Memory Configuration Rules An rp7400 system supports up to 4 memory carriers (numbered 0, 1, 2, and 3), each with slots for 4 memory DIMM pairs (numbered 0a/b, 1a/b, 2a/b, and 3a/b). For the DIMMs to work, both DIMMs in a slot pair must be the same type (i.e., the same part number). • Performance considerations. For best performance, install DIMMs evenly among the carriers, loading carriers 0, 1, 2, and 3 in sequence.
