6.1Procedure for Installation Using Fibre Channel Disks

Use the following procedure to install Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1 and TruCluster Server Version 5.1 using Fibre Channel disks. If you are only installing Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1, complete the first eight steps. Complete all the steps for a TruCluster Server Version 5.1 installation. See 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 6.6.1.1 and Section 6.6.1.2).

5.Power on the system where you will install Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1. 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 5.1 disk and first cluster member system boot disks (Section 6.6.1.3).

6.Use the show wwid* and show n* console commands to show the disk devices that are currently reachable, and the paths to the devices (Section 6.6.1.4).

7.Use the WWID manager to set the bootdef_dev console environment variable for the system where you will install the Tru64 UNIX operating system (Section 6.6.1.5).
