• A discussion on how you can use the emx manager (emxmgr) to display
the presence of Fibre Channel adapters, target ID mappings for a Fibre
Channel adapter, and the current Fibre Channel topology (Section 6.12).
6.1 Procedure for Installation Using Fibre Channel Disks
Use the following procedure to install Tru64 UNIX Version 5.0A or
TruCluster Server Version 5.0A using Fibre Channel disks. If you are
only installing Tru64 UNIX Version 5.0A, complete the first eight steps.
Complete all the steps for a TruCluster Server Version 5.0A installation.
Refer to the Tru64 UNIX
Installation Guide, TruCluster Server Software
Installation manual, and other hardware manuals as appropriate for the
actual installation procedures.
1. Install the Fibre Channel switch (Section 6.5.1).
2. Install the KGPSA PCI-to-Fibre Channel host bus adapter
(Section 6.5.2).
3. Set up the HSG80 RAID array controllers for a fabric configuration
(Section 6.5.3).
4. Configure the HSG80 disks to be used for base operating system and
cluster installation. Be sure to set the identifier for each storage unit
you will use for operating system or cluster installation (Section 6.6.1).
5. Power on the system where you will install Tru64 UNIX Version 5.0A.
If this is a cluster installation, this system will also be the first cluster
member.
Use the console WWID manager (wwidmgr) utility to set the device
unit number for the Fibre Channel Tru64 UNIX Version 5.0A disk and
cluster member system boot disks (Section 6.6.2).
6. Use the WWID manager to set the bootdef_dev console environment
variable (Section 6.6.3).
7. Refer to the Tru64 UNIX Installation Guide and install the base
operating system from CD-ROM. The installation procedure will
recognize the disks for which you set the device unit number. Select the
disk you have chosen as the base operating system installation disk
from the list of disks provided (Section 6.7).
8. After the new kernel has booted to multi-user mode, shut down the
operting system and reset the bootdef_dev console environment
variable to provide multiple boot paths (Section 6.8).
Boot the system to multi-user mode and complete the operating system
installation.
9. Determine the /dev/disk/dsk
n values to be used for cluster
installation (Section 6.9).
