HP I Dual Channel Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter A6829A manual Installing the Scsi Driver

Installing the A6829A Adapter

Installing the SCSI Driver

	Installing the SCSI Driver
	On most of the supported HP-UX PA-RISC systems, the SCSI c720
	driver is used with some of the SCSI interfaces. This driver is
	automatically installed as part of the HP-UX 11.0 core OS and the
	HP-UX 11i base Operating Environment (OE). Therefore, you do not
	have to install it separately.
	However, you must separately install the SCSI c8xx driver, which is
	used by the A6829A HBA in all the supported HP-UX systems. This
	driver is available in the latest HP-UX bundle or at http://itrc.hp.com.
TIP	You should keep in mind that, although the installation process installs
	the c8xx driver, it does not load the c8xx driver into the HP-UX kernel
	unless it detects one or more SCSI Ultra160 devices installed in the
	HP-UX system. This is done to prevent the kernel from becoming
	unnecessarily large.
	Therefore, if Ultra160 devices (for example, a SCSI Ultra160 “add-in”
	adapter [like the A6829A] or core I/O card) are already installed in the
	HP-UX system, or if you will be installing an Ultra160 add-in adapter
	later through OLA, you should install the c8xx driver now. If no SCSI
	Ultra160 devices are in the system, and you do not want to install any
	Ultra160 add-in adapters later, do not install the c8xx driver at this
	time.

NOTE	You must install all patches before you install the bundle containing the
	c8xx driver.

The following is an overview of the steps you need to perform:

Step 1. Issue the swlist command to see which patches are already installed on the system. You can get any patches you need to install from the HP IT Resource Center (ITRC) at http://itrc.hp.com.

If you do not need to install any patches (other than the c8xx bundle), go to step 3.
