Mass Storage Drivers
Ma ss Stor a ge Dr iver s
External mass storage is not supported on the i2000 hp workstations.
New SCSI Dr iver s
For the rx9610 and rx4610 servers, two new SCSI HBA drivers, qlisp
and c8xx, are released in HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20). The c8xx
driver runs on all IPF systems and replaces the c720HBA driver on PA
systems. The qlispHBA driver is a new driver to support the 12160
Qlogic SCSI controller.
The c8xxHBA driver supports both the A5150A, Dual Channel Ultra2
SCSI, and the A5159A, Dual Channel FWD SCSI-2, add-in PCI cards.
The qlispHBA driver supports the core Qlogic SCSI controller.
There is no early dump support in HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20).
Unlike PA systems, on IPF based systems, it is not possible to get a crash
dump before the system is booted. For more information, see System
Crash Dump Changes in Chapter 3 of the HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Release
Notes, “HP-UX Features.”
Ta ch lite Dr iver
For the rx9610 and rx4610 servers, this release includes td, the Fibre
Channel PCI Tachyon TL driver. This version of the driver supports
Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) only. Fabric is not supported in
this release.
The IPF platforms supported by this driver are:
•
•
hp server rx9610
hp server rx4610

External mass storage is not supported on the i2000 hp workstations.
LSI LVD Ultr a II SCSI Con tr oller
On Itanium-based servers, unlike PA-based systems, the LSI LVD
UltraII SCSI controller, part number A5149A, can not boot from targets
with SCSI ID greater than 7. These controllers have the Sub System ID
Bits (SSID) set such that the card is forced into narrow mode.
Sp ecifyin g Boota ble Devices in th e LSI BIOS
The LSI BIOS is used to determine which SCSI HBAs are searched for
bootable devices. The LSI BIOS limits this selection to a maximum of
four possible choices, determined by the PCI bus slot order. Any boot
target must reside on one of those default controllers.
NOTE
HP-UX will let you install to any device on the system but if the device is
not on one of the default controllers you can not boot from it.
QLogic SCSI Ad a p ter Ra tes
For the rx9610 and rx4610 servers, some J BOD (Just a Bunch Of Disk)
enclosures contain internal cabling for a slower SCSI rate than newer
disk devices may accept. If an Ultra160 disk accepts the higher rate in an
Ultra2 enclosure, a hang will occur in data transfers. To force the
autonegotiation to use a slower rate, you must configure the SCSI
adapter.
Setting external QLogic SCSI connector for JBODs:
Step 1. Enter Alt-Q when prompted on machine book
Step 2. Choose
Configuration Settings->Host Adapter Settings
Adapter Configuration: Manual

Step 4. Configuration Settings->Host Adapter Settings
Adapter Configuration: AUTO
Changing back to AUTOmode allows autonegotiation to occur but based
on the new device settings. Leaving this at Manualmay cause the card to
complain with warnings as the settings are forced on the SCSI devices
without negotiation.
Step 5. Save changes and reboot

CAUTION
If your system needs to be reinstalled at any point, the root disk will be
overwritten and all data on it will be lost. For that reason, we
recommend that you do not put user data on the root disk.
Root Disk
HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 provides several file system choices for the root
disk.
•
By default, the system installs VxVM on the root disk with VxFS file
systems. Unless the system firmware supports the edd30command,
VxVM should only be installed onto a disk located at target 0. Once
installed, you should not physically move the VxVM root disk.
— Striping volumes can be configured during the install.
— Mirrored volumes can not be configured during the install.
Configure mirroring after the installation is complete.
•
•
•
Whole-disk VxFS
HFS file systems are not supported.
Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is not supported as root disk, use
VxVM instead.
P r e-In sta ll Da ta Ta bles
The pre-install data tables are located in Appendix C.
IMPORTANT
All of the data in these tables is required to install HP-UX 11i Version
1.5 (with the exception of the networking information if you are
installing a stand-alone system).
By completing the following tables prior to beginning the install of
HP-UX 11i Version 1.5, you will have all the data you need, in one place,
to successfully complete the install once you have started.

Chapter 2
Installing HP-UX 11i Version 1.5
Planning your HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Cold Install
How to In sta ll HP -UX 11i Ver sion 1.5
To cold install the operating system, which overwrites everything on the
target disk:
Step 1. Make sure any external devices connected to the target system are
turned ON and operational.
Step 2. Insert the HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 DVD into the drive.
Step 3. Turn the system ON, reboot, or cycle power. The system should boot
automatically from the DVD; if it does, go directly to step 4.
IMPORTANT: If the system does not boot automatically, you will be
taken to the boot menu, which is a timed menu -- press any key to stop
the timer. Then, you can run installmanually from the EFI shell, as
follows:
1. Select EFI Shell (Built In) from the boot menu.
2. Display the list of devices by typing:
map -b
(The -bcommand line option scrolls the screen one page at a time in
the event that the device list is longer than one page.)
3. Look at the list of devices (displayed as fs0, fs1, etc.) and identify the
DVD-ROM device. An example of a DVD-ROM device entry from the
mapcommand:
fs0 : Acpi (PNP0A03),0)/Pci(3|1)/Ata(Secondary,Master)
/CDROM(Entry1)
4. The edd30 [on | off ] command toggles the BIOS option to
display device path according to the EDD 3.0 specification. If the
BIOS option is off, the root disk must be located at target 0. If the
root disk is not located at target 0, type :
edd30 on
to enable EDD 3.0.
5. Then enter the command device_name:\install. For example, if
the DVD-ROM device is fs0, you would enter
fs0:\install
Chapter 2

Installing HP-UX 11i Version 1.5
Planning your HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Cold Install
Step 4. Verify the system booted from the DVD. The bootloader will display a
message indicating you have 20 seconds to interrupt the boot process.
The AUTO file should contain the string
boot :IINSTALL -c0
If the AUTO file string is different from the above, you may have booted
from the wrong device. In that case, interrupt the boot process, enter the
EFI shell. From the EFI shell, select the correct device, as explained in
step 3.
Step 5. Once the kernel has booted, it will scan the system for IO devices.
Step 6. The system now displays the Ignite-UX welcome screen for the HP-UX
installation process. If you have used Ignite-UX on PA systems, the
remaining procedures will be familiar to you.
Take a moment to read how to navigate and select choices on this
terminal interface:
•
•
•
•
Use the Tab key to navigate between fields and the arrow keys to
navigate within fields.
Use the Return/Enter key to select an item. Pressing Return/Enter or the
space-bar opens a menu list.
For Help, use Cntl-K for navigation key help and Cntl-F (or F1) for
context-sensitive help.
You can enter the underlined letter of an item (such as Ifor install
HP-UX) to navigate more quickly.
Step 7. Select Install HP-UX to begin interacting with the Ignite-UX (cold-install)
program.
Step 8. From the User Interface and Media Options screen, choose the degree of
customizing needed to configure the installation. The default setting
under Source Location Options (Media only installation) is correct for
installing from a DVD.
Three choices are shown in User Interface Options:
•
Guided Installation provides tutorial information and limited choices
for inexperienced Ignite-UX users.
•
Advanced Installation enables you to customize your system on tabbed
screens. Use this mode to change VxVM settings. You may also find it
convenient to set system parameters, network services, file-system
characteristics, and other configuration details.

•
No User Interface Use all the defaults and GO.
Ignite-UX permits you to exit from Guided Installation and restart the
configuration using Advanced Installation later by either selecting the
Cancel button or pressing C. Mark your choices and select OK.
NOTE
The remaining steps take you through the Guided Installation. For help,
consult the Help screens. For more help on using Advanced Installation,
see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide.
Step 9. You are now at the first step of the Install HP-UX Wizard: Select an
overall system configuration. Accept the default option: HP-UX 11i
Version 1.5 (B.11.20).
Step 10. Select a system environment. In this step you will choose the type of
desktop, or windowing system that will be installed on your system. If
you are unsure of which environment to choose, the CDE (Common
Desktop Environment) HP-UX Environment is recommended. Make
your selection before continuing.
Step 11. Select a root disk. In this step you will choose the disk that will house
your root filesystem. If you are unsure of what to choose, keep the default
selection which has been calculated by the install program.
Step 12. Specify the amount of root swap space. Some initial calculations have
been performed by the install program, and a recommended value has
been set for you. You can either accept this value or change it before
continuing.
Step 13. Select filesystem type. The default value chosen by the install program is
recommended.
On the File System tab, choose between Whole-disk with VxFSand VxVM
(HP VERITAS Volume Manager with VxFS). The following restrictions
and limitations apply to VxVM:
•
The VxVM install option may be used only when installing onto a
disk located at target 0 unless the firmware supports the edd30
command. If you did not enable EDD 3.0 and you need to, you can
break out of the HP-UX Install Wizard, reboot the machine, and start
again (see step 3). If the edd30command succeeds you may install
VxVM to any target. If the command fails, you may only install VxVM
Chapter 2
33
Installing HP-UX 11i Version 1.5
Planning your HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Cold Install
to target 0.
•
Once installed, the VxVM root disk can not be moved to another SCSI
bus or address that results in a change in the hardware path to the
device. If it is moved, you may not be able to boot sanely from it. This
is similar to the limitation present in LVM.
Step 14. Specify root disk volume group disks. In this step you will specify how
many disks you want placed into the root disk volume group and
whether or not you would like the disks to be striped. (The HP-UX Install
Wizard describes these features in depth.)
Step 15. Select language(s). Browse the available languages, marking the desired
selections.
Step 16. Select the user license. In this step you will select the type of user license
you wish to install on your system. This information does not have to be
exact, but should represent what you believe to be the primary usage of
your system. A minimal two-user license is denoted here. To load licenses
for more than two users, you must use the Application DVD.
Step 17. Select additional software. In this step you may select any additional
software which you would like loaded onto your system. Browse the list,
marking your selections, then continue to the next step.
Step 18. Pre-Install check information, Step 1. There are two steps involved in the
pre-install checks. The first is to identify which disks will be overwritten
during the install process. If you see disk in the list that you do not want
included, back up to the root disk selection and choose another disk.
Otherwise continue on to the next step.
Step 19. Pre-Install check information, Step 2. The second step in the pre-install
check is to review any errors or warnings. Warnings are simply
informational. If there are any errors, they will need to be resolved
before the installation can continue.
Step 20. System summary. At this point you have successfully defined your
system. Use the show summary button to view a summary of how your
system will be configured. If you see any problems, or wish to change any
of your selections, feel free to back up to the appropriate step, and make
the needed changes. Otherwise, select Finish (at the bottom of the tabs).
You have the chance to Cancel at this time. If you cancel, you return to
the previous configuration screen.
Step 21. Next, the installation will begin with filesets being copied from the
34
Chapter 2
Installing HP-UX 11i Version 1.5
Planning your HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Cold Install
media to the hard disk. The system will automatically reboot during the
installation process.
Step 22. After the system has rebooted, the Welcome to HP-UX screen is
displayed. At this point, you will need to answer a few questions before
you can use the system. The first is whether or not you plan to use the
system on a network. If you have completed the pre-install data
collection tables in Appendix C, you have all of the information you need
to complete the networking section of the install, so answer Yfor yes.
Step 23. On the following screens, enter the basic network configuration
information that you collected in Appendix C. Depending on how you set
up your parameters, the system either will have configured them
automatically or will call the set_parmscommand to allow you to set
the root password, date and time, time zone, IP address, and additional
network parameters.
Step 24. Confirm your choices. Congratulations! You are now finished with the
install procedure and will be given the opportunity to log in to the system
as root.
Step 25. Log in to the system.
Step 26. After the cold install, store the HP-UX OS DVDs in a safe place. You may
need them to install drivers or other software later.

How to Install Optional Software Products
How to In sta ll Op tion a l Softw a r e P r od u cts
The Applications DVD that is distributed with HP-UX 11i Version 1.5
contains optional development tools and system management software.
HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 must be booted in order to install optional
software products. The following is the procedure for installing products
from the Applications DVD.
Step 1. Insert the Applications DVD in the DVD-ROM drive.
Step 2. Mount the Applications DVD.
To install software from the Applications DVD, you must mount the DVD
as a filesystem that HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 can access.
a. Determine the DVD-ROM device name.
Use the ioscan -funC diskcommand to list disk devices,
including the DVD-ROM. The following sample output shows a
DVD-ROM on cabinet 0 whose device name is /dev/dsk/c1t0d0.
disk
4 4/2/0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0
DEVICE
TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0
b. Create a mount point for the Applications DVD, if one does not yet
exist.
The mount point is a directory that HP-UX will use as an access
point for the DVD. Often a /CDROMdirectory is used. If this
directory does not exist, create it using the mkdir /CDROM
command.
c. Use the mountcommand to mount the DVD.
Using the mountcommand, specify the DVD-ROM device name
and mount point. For example, the following command mounts the
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0device as the /CDROMdirectory.
mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /CDROM
See the mount (1M) manpage for details.
Step 3. Use swinstallto install software from the Application DVD.

The following example command runs swinstallto install software
from the source mounted at /CDROM.
swinstall -i -s /CDROM
See the swinstall (1M) manpage for details.
Step 4. Select and install software from the Applications DVD.
The swinstallprogram presents an interface for selecting and
installing software from the DVD.
Step 5. Unmount and eject the Applications DVD.
You must unmount the DVD before you can eject it from the DVD-ROM
drive. The DVD is automatically unmounted whenever the server
reboots.
Use the umountcommand to unmount the DVD. For example,
umount /CDROMwill unmount the /CDROMfilesystem. See the umount

Kn ow n Er r or Messa ges
The following message is placed in the swagent.logand install.log
files after installing HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20):
* Installing fileset "HPvxvm.VXVM-KRN,r=B.11.20.%30" (12
of 274).
NOTE: The VxVM drivers have been added to the /stand/system
file. You must build the kernel and reboot. You need to
build the kernel and reboot only if the installation
process does not automatically do it for you.
Use " /usr/sbin/mk_kernel -s /stand/system " to build
the new kernel.
This message is produced because the is_kernel and is_reboot flags in the
fileset are not set properly. It is strictly informational and does not affect
the actual installation. A kernel build occurs automatically at the end of
the installation.
