Tru64 UNIX Installation Checklist

Checklist - New Tru64 UNIX Server and New Storage System Without Boot Disk

This checklist is for a new storage system that will not contain a Tru64 UNIX boot disk. If you want the new storage system to contain a boot disk, use the procedure that starts on page 6-6.

Checkpoint — Verify the server connections to the

 

 

 

switch by checking the LED(s) for the switch port

 

 

 

connected to each HBA port.

 

 

 

For a 1-Gbit switch - LED is green, which indicates that

 

 

 

the HBA is logged in to the switch port.

 

 

 

For a 2-Gbit switch - One of the following:

 

 

 

• The left LED is green and the right LED is off, which

 

 

 

indicates that a 1-Gbit SP port is logged in to the

 

 

 

switch port.

 

 

 

• For a DS-xxB2 switch, both LEDs are green, which

 

 

 

indicates that a 2-Gbit HBA port is logged in to the

 

 

 

switch port.

 

 

 

• For a DS-xxM2 switch, the left LED is blue and the

 

 

 

right LED is off, which indicates that a 2-Gbit HBA

 

 

 

port is logged in to the switch port.
