Prerequisites

Refer to the HP tab of the support matrix for the prerequisites. If the installation fails, see ”Fulfilling the Prerequisites” on page 216.

FC SNIA HBA API software is bundled with the driver and is installed at the same time the driver is installed.

Network Port Must Be Open

The CIM extension uses port 4673 by default to communicate with the management server. Verify the network port is open. Refer to the documentation accompanying your HP-UX host for more information. If you need to use a different port, see ”Permanently Changing the Port a CIM Extension Uses (UNIX Only)” on page 388.

Verifying SNIA HBA API Support

The management server can only talk to host bus adapters (HBAs) that support the SNIA HBA API. The hbatest program, which is accessible from the CIM Extension CD-ROM, lists the name and number for all HBAs that support the SNIA HBA API. In some instances, hbatest may report it cannot find an HBA driver even though an HBA driver is installed. Try installing a different version of the HBA driver that is SNIA compliant.

IMPORTANT: The Emulex driver does not contain the required library that is required by HP Storage Essentials. You must install Emulex HBAnywhere software so that HP Storage Essentials can discover hosts configured with HBAnywhere and hbatest can detect the Emulex host bus adapter.

To run hbatest:

1.Go to the HPUX/tools directory on the CIM Extension 1 CD-ROM.

2.Enter the following at the command prompt:

./hbatest

The program runs its diagnostics.

HP SNIA adapters AXXXXA come from fileset FC-FCD, FC-TACHYON-TL. Unless separated purposely during the installation of the operating system, filesets are there by default. To view the location of the library, enter the following at the command prompt:

#more /etc/hba.conf

The following is displayed:

•com.hp.fcms32 /usr/lib/libhbaapihp.sl #32 bit lib names end in '32'

•com.hp.fcms64 /usr/lib/pa20_64/libhbaapihp.sl #64 bit lib names end in '64'

•com.hp.fcd32 /usr/lib/libhbaapifcd.sl

•com.hp.fcd64 /usr/lib/pa20_64/libhbaapifcd.sl
