SAN BOOT QUESTION

frederick hannah — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:19:52 GMT

I have an l2000-44 server running HPUX 11.0 with A5158A fiber cards. I configured luns on a san to serve as boot disk. I used setboot to "point" the server to the luns. The L2000 server wouldnt initialize using the san-based os disks. Will the L2000-44 support san booting?

The card does, as long as the array does and the PDC version is minimum 44.01.

How do display the PDC version without booting the server? Under the "home screen" of Support Tools Manager, I see "Version A.44.00". Would that be the PDC version?

Use cstm to get the details about CPU and grep for

PDC Firmware Revision, e.g.

PDC Firmware Revision: 44.28

==>

# echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;il"|/usr/sbin/cstm
