External mass storage is not supported on the i2000 hp workstations.

New SCSI Drivers

For the rx9610 and rx4610 servers, two new SCSI HBA drivers, qlisp and c8xx, are released in HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20). The c8xx driver runs on all IPF systems and replaces the c720 HBA driver on PA systems. The qlisp HBA driver is a new driver to support the 12160 Qlogic SCSI controller.

The c8xx HBA driver supports both the A5150A, Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI, and the A5159A, Dual Channel FWD SCSI-2, add-in PCI cards.

The qlisp HBA driver supports the core Qlogic SCSI controller.

There is no early dump support in HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20). Unlike PA systems, on IPF based systems, it is not possible to get a crash dump before the system is booted. For more information, see System Crash Dump Changes in Chapter 3 of the HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Release Notes, “HP-UX Features.”

Tachlite Driver

For the rx9610 and rx4610 servers, this release includes td, the Fibre Channel PCI Tachyon TL driver. This version of the driver supports Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) only. Fabric is not supported in this release.

The IPF platforms supported by this driver are:

•hp server rx9610

•hp server rx4610

For a complete list of supported platforms and devices as well as other up-to-date information, see the Fibre Channel web site at http://techsolutions.hp.com.
