6.6.2 Install the Tru64 UNIX Operating System

After reading the TruCluster Server Software Installation manual, and using the Tru64 UNIX Installation Guide as a reference, boot from the CD-ROM and install the Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1 operating system.

When the installation procedure displays the list of disks available for operating system installation as shown here, look for the identifier in the Location column. Verify the identifier from the table you have been preparing (see Table 6–2).

To visually

locate a disk,

enter "ping <disk>",

where <disk> is the device

name (for example,

dsk0) of the disk you

want to locate. If that disk has

a visible indicator light, it will

blink until

you are ready to continue.

If you flash the light on a storage unit (logical disk) that is a mirrorset, stripeset, or RAIDset, the lights on all disks in the storageset will blink.

Record the /dev/disk/dskn value (dsk15) for the Tru64 UNIX disk that matches the UDID (133) (Table 6–2).

Complete the installation, following the instructions in the Tru64 UNIX Installation Guide.

6.6.3 Determining /dev/disk/dskn to Use for a Cluster Installation

Before you can install the TruCluster Server software, you must determine which /dev/disk/dskn to use for the various TruCluster Server disks.

To determine the /dev/disk/dskn to use for the cluster disks, follow these steps:

1.With the Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1 operating system at single-user or multi-user mode, use the hardware manager (hwmgr) utility with the -view devices option to display all devices on the system. Pipe the command through the grep utility to search for any items with the

IDENTIFIER qualifier.

#hwmgr -view dev grep IDENTIFIER
