Compaq AA-RHGWB-TE manual Procedure for Installation Using Fibre Channel Disks

•A discussion on how you can use the emx manager (emxmgr) to display the presence of Fibre Channel adapters, target ID mappings for a Fibre Channel adapter, and the current Fibre Channel topology (Section 6.12).

6.1Procedure for Installation Using Fibre Channel Disks

Use the following procedure to install Tru64 UNIX Version 5.0A or TruCluster Server Version 5.0A using Fibre Channel disks. If you are only installing Tru64 UNIX Version 5.0A, complete the first eight steps. Complete all the steps for a TruCluster Server Version 5.0A installation. Refer to the Tru64 UNIX Installation Guide, TruCluster Server Software Installation manual, and other hardware manuals as appropriate for the actual installation procedures.

1.Install the Fibre Channel switch (Section 6.5.1).

2.Install the KGPSA PCI-to-Fibre Channel host bus adapter (Section 6.5.2).

3.Set up the HSG80 RAID array controllers for a fabric configuration (Section 6.5.3).

4.Configure the HSG80 disks to be used for base operating system and cluster installation. Be sure to set the identifier for each storage unit you will use for operating system or cluster installation (Section 6.6.1).

5.Power on the system where you will install Tru64 UNIX Version 5.0A. If this is a cluster installation, this system will also be the first cluster member.

Use the console WWID manager (wwidmgr) utility to set the device unit number for the Fibre Channel Tru64 UNIX Version 5.0A disk and cluster member system boot disks (Section 6.6.2).

6.Use the WWID manager to set the bootdef_dev console environment variable (Section 6.6.3).

7.Refer to the Tru64 UNIX Installation Guide and install the base operating system from CD-ROM. The installation procedure will recognize the disks for which you set the device unit number. Select the disk you have chosen as the base operating system installation disk from the list of disks provided (Section 6.7).

8.After the new kernel has booted to multi-user mode, shut down the operting system and reset the bootdef_dev console environment variable to provide multiple boot paths (Section 6.8).

Boot the system to multi-user mode and complete the operating system installation.

9.Determine the /dev/disk/dskn values to be used for cluster installation (Section 6.9).
