Hardware and Software Installation Procedure

Step 6: Prepare to install the software

IMPORTANT You must not have duplicate SCSI IDs on a SCSI bus; the system may hang or crash if you

have duplicate SCSI IDs on the same bus.

Setting SCSI IDs

You must set each SCSI device and its corresponding port on the SCSI card to a separate SCSI ID, 0

through 15 for a 16-bit SCSI. SCSI ID 7 is the preset host adapter setting, giving it the highest priority on

the SCSI bus.

To change this default to a different SCSI address for high availability (HA) systems, you must use the

Boot Code Handler or BCH. You must invoke the appropriate commands in the SCSI section of the BCH

and change the address electronically to whatever is required for the HA conﬁguration being used.

Peripheral device SCSI IDs are usually set with jumpers or a switch on the peripheral. Refer to the

peripheral manufacturer’s instructions to determine the ID of each device and how to change it. You must

have no duplication of SCSI IDs on a SCSI bus.

• Upon power up, any error messages will appear on the terminal display or system console. You can also

use the dmesg command to retrieve startup messages later.

• Verify that the Ethernet LAN connector’s Link LED is on.

• When the system is up, log in as root and verify that the card and its hardware path are displayed by

executing the command: ioscan.

Step 6: Prepare to install the software

• Check that the /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, and /sbin directories are in your PATH using the command: echo

$PATH

• Check the HP-UX version by entering: uname -r

# uname -r

B.11.11

B.11.23

The version must be B.11.11 for 11i v 1.0 or B.11.23 for 11i v 2.0.

• Check the Release Notes for IEther-00 and scsiU320-00 to see if you need to install any appropriate

patches for your system. Release Notes are available on the Web at http://docs.hp.com under I/O Cards

and Networking Software.

Step 7: Install the latest software.

• Load the software media into the appropriate drive.

— If you are adding the Gigabit Ethernet software bundle (IEther-00) for 11i v 1.0, you can get the

Gigabit Ethernet software bundle on the December 2004 (or later) OE distribution media.

— If you are adding the Gigabit Ethernet software bundle (IEther-00) for 11i v 2.0, you must use the

September 2004 (or later) OE distribution media.

• Run the swinstall program to install the software using the command: swinstall.

• Change the host name after “Source Host Name,” if necessary.
