6.5.3Setting Up the HSG80 Array Controller for Tru64 UNIX Installation

This section covers setting up the HSG80 controller for operation with Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1 and TruCluster Server Version 5.1. For more information on installing the HSG80, see the Compaq StorageWorks HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.5 Configuration Guide or Compaq StorageWorks HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.5 CLI Reference Guide.

To set up an HSG80 for TruCluster Server operation, follow these steps:

1.If not already installed, install the HSG80 controller(s) into the RA8000 or ESA12000 storage arrays.

2.If used, ensure that the external cache battery (ECB) is connected to the controller cache module(s).

3.Install the fiber-optic cables between the KGPSA and the switch.

4.Set the power verification and addressing (PVA) ID. Use PVA ID 0 for the enclosure that contains the HSG80 controller(s). Set the PVA ID to 2 and 3 on expansion enclosures (if present).

____________________ Note _____________________

Do not use PVA ID 1.

With Port-Target-LUN (PTL) addressing, the PVA ID is used to determine the target ID of the devices on ports 1 through 6 (the LUN is always zero). Valid target ID numbers are 0 through 15, excluding numbers 4 through 7. Target IDs 6 and 7 are reserved for the controller pair, and target IDs 4 and 5 are never used.

The enclosure with PVA ID 0 will contain devices with target IDs 0 through 3; with PVA ID 2, target IDs 8 through 11; with PVA ID 3, target IDs 12 through 15. Setting a PVA ID of an enclosure to 1 would set target IDs to 4 through 7, generating a conflict with the target IDs of the controllers.

5.Remove the program card ESD cover and insert the controller’s program card. Replace the ESD cover.

6.Install disks into storage shelves.

7.Connect a terminal to the maintenance port on one of the HSG80 controllers. You need a local connection to configure the controller for the first time. The maintenance port supports serial communication with the following default values:
