IMPORTANT
You must not have duplicate SCSI IDs on a SCSI bus; the system may hang or crash if you
have duplicate SCSI IDs on the same bus.
Setting SCSI IDs
You must set each SCSI device and its corresponding port on the SCSI card to a separate SCSI ID, 0
through 15 for a 16-bit SCSI. SCSI ID 7 is the preset host adapter setting, giving it the highest priority on
the SCSI bus.
To change this default to a different SCSI address for high availability (HA) systems, you must use the
Boot Code Handler or BCH. You must invoke the appropriate commands in the SCSI section of the BCH
and change the address electronically to whatever is required for the HA configuration being used.
Peripheral device SCSI IDs are usually set with jumpers or a switch on the peripheral. Refer to the
peripheral manufacturer’s instructions to determine the ID of each device and how to change it. You must
have no duplication of SCSI IDs on a SCSI bus.
•
Upon power up, any error messages will appear on the terminal display or system console. You can also
use the
dmesg
command to retrieve startup messages later.
•
Verify that the Ethernet LAN connector’s Link LED is on.
•
When the system is up, log in as
root
and verify that the card and its hardware path are displayed by
executing the command:
ioscan
.
Step 6: Prepare to install the software
•
Check that the
/usr/bin
,
/usr/sbin
, and
/sbin
directories are in your PATH using the command:
echo
$PATH
•
Check the HP-UX version by entering:
uname -r
#
uname -r
B.11.11
or
B.11.23
The version must be B.11.11 for 11i v 1.0 or B.11.23 for 11i v 2.0.
•
Check the Release Notes for
IEther-00
and
scsiU320-00
to see if you need to install any appropriate
patches for your system. Release Notes are available on the Web at http://docs.hp.com under I/O Cards
and Networking Software.
Step 7: Install the latest software.
•
Load the software media into the appropriate drive.
— If you are adding the Gigabit Ethernet software bundle (
IEther-00
) for 11i v 1.0, you can get the
Gigabit Ethernet software bundle on the December 2004 (or later) OE distribution media.
— If you are adding the Gigabit Ethernet software bundle (
IEther-00
) for 11i v 2.0, you must use the
September 2004 (or later) OE distribution media.
•
Run the
swinstall
program to install the software using the command:
swinstall
.
•
Change the host name after “Source Host Name,” if necessary.
