You need the HP-UX 11i v2 media with the minimum release date of June 2007.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.

Do we need to have 11i v2 media with the minimum release date of june 2007?
Is it the minimum requirement for this server?
Can'nt we have OS ver 11. V1 on the server?

I have OS HP-UX 11v2 dec 2006 release. Is it possible to install it any how and once it has been installed then we can install the patches for the issue we are facing.
Is that possible?

No. There may be no patches for the issue and any fixes delivered with the June 2007 update.

There is another issue with SAS controller during OS installation documented in customer advisory

So its clearly means that we can't install OS on integrity server rx2660 with the OS CD(HP-UX v2i December 2006 release)??

We need HP -UX v2i with release of june 2007 or later??

Which type of SAS controller is installed in your rx2660? Core SAS controller or P400?

Re: Error while installaling OS on rx2660 integrity server

shikhar_1 — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 13:20:28 GMT

It is having AD248A HP internal RAID1 controller.
How do i check its Core SAS controller or P400?

Re: Error while installaling OS on rx2660 integrity server

shikhar_1 — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 13:22:18 GMT

I believe it is having SAS drives

Re: Error while installaling OS on rx2660 integrity server

Zygmunt Krawczyk — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 13:36:33 GMT

If it is AD248A#106, you have HP internal RAID1 controller.

If it is AD248A#130, you have HP Smart Array P400.

Hi,

I have tried the installation with HP-UX 11i ver3 but still i am getting the same error.

HP Smart Array P4000 failure.
Does it seems to be some hardware issue?

I am installing it on HP-UX integrity server rx2660.
Appreciating your help.

Hi,
try to download IPF Offline Diagnostics and Utilities

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=pl&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=3346452&prodNameId=3346456&swEnvOID=54&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ns-88890-1

burn the CD, boot the server from this CD, and upgrade SAS firmware to version 1.23.42.00.

What is the release date of your HP-UX 11i v3 media?
