which version etc.

Morten Kristiansen — Thu, 06 Oct 2005 05:50:12 GMT

Hi,

we will install some software and have been given these requirements mentioned below. But I don't quite know how to determine all of them. Could someone please help? The server is a HP L2000. These are the requirements:

07: Driver versjon for HBA 11.00.10
10: AL og SW can coexist
11: OS versjon must be 11.00.03 or later
12: Req patch PHKL_23939
29: failed-over lun is not automatic on fc4702 array
96: PDC firmware 41.39 or higher.

The 07 req. I found with 'swlist -R|grep -i A5158A'

The 11 req. I can find with 'uname -r' but that gives me only 'B.11.00', the requirements says 11.00.03 or later. How can I find the least significant numbers (03)?

The 12 req. I found with 'swlist -l patch|grep PHKL_23939', didn't find any, but what if there is installed a patch that superseed this. How can I find this?

The 96 req. I found with 'dos2ux /var/tombstones/ts99|grep -i pdc'

The rest of the requirements, I don't know how to confirm.

Hi,

10: AL og SW can coexist
no idear what you are asking.

11: OS versjon must be 11.00.03 or later
HP-UX version 11.00.03 CD-ROM (CD60 03/2003 or later) Check if you have installed the latest patchbundles.

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=QUALITYPACK

12: Req patch PHKL_23939
the latest version is PHKL_31017 check if you have that one. Otherwise install the recommended patch PHKL_23939

29: failed-over lun is not automatic on fc4702 array
EMC Clariion FC4702 Networked Storage System, do you have one connected to your L2000 ?

Hope this helps a bit.

The server isn't connected yet to the Clariion, but it's the in the preparation for the Clariion installation that I have to get these information.

req. 12 : Because it was superseded a couple of times since the latest one, I would suggest you do a swlist and check for the "Fibre Channel Mass Storage Driver"

req. 29 : I'm not sure if I understand this one correctly, but if you want to know if anything else handles the failover of your LUNs, maybe you are looking at LVM and pvlinks.. those will failover your LUNs automatically.. but again, I'm not sure I understand your req 100%

Hi,

11.
You can confirm the exact version of HPUX 11 using

# swlist -l bundle UXCoreMedia
UXCoreMedia B.11.00.02 HP-UX Media Kit (Reference Only. See Description)

12. You can verify the required patch is installed or not using cmd
# swlist -l patch PHKL_23939
If installed it list the product.

Regards,
Rajesh

Thanks for the answers Marco and Rajesh.

On req. 12 I've tried to check for "Fibre Channel Mass Storage Driver", but there where no such driver. And if patch PHKL_23939 wasn't installed, but only a superseded one, will I then get a hit on 'swlist -l patch PHKL_23939'?

There was no bundle installed called 'UXCoreMedia'.

Hi Mortin,

OK, CoreMedia not commonly avaialable on version.

Exact OS version can be found using

# swlist|grep HPUXEng64RT
HPUXEng64RT B.11.00.01 English HP-UX 64-bit Runtime Environment

Regards,
Rajesh

Morten Kristiansen — Thu, 06 Oct 2005 07:43:49 GMT

Thanks Rajesh, but I've already tried that. It only gives me this:
HPUXEng64RT B.11.00 English HP-UX 64-bit Runtime Environment

So maybe it's B.11.00.00?

Rajesh SB — Thu, 06 Oct 2005 07:50:00 GMT

Yes Morten, it exact version is B.11.00 only.

As I have several systems installed with HPUX 11.00 using different CD pack.
One of other server showing like this.

# swlist |grep HPUXEng64RT
HPUXEng64RT B.11.00 English HP-UX 64-bit Runtime Environment
