Setting up rx3600

[rick jones]

FWIW I've always setup logical discs in the array via the EFI stuff.

Jan,

the 'drvcfg' only works for cards which have a EFI configurable driver in them, the SmartArray card is not such a card. The SmartArray card needs to be configured using the ORCA utility that can be accessed via F8 (ESC 8) at bootup time (or when you execute the EFI command 'reconnect -r' to reload the option roms in all cards)



The output you got from running the drvcfg and the keyb language choice is because the only configurable one it finds is the one listed here:

fs0:\> drvcfg

Configurable Components
Drv[1D] Ctrl[8E] Lang[eng]
Drv[1D] Ctrl[91] Lang[eng]

The [1D] corresponds to the USB keyb controller, you can match that from the drivers output you provided :


1D 00000014 D X - 2 - Usb Keyboard Driver UsbKb


So this is why ,when running the drvcfg command, you get the keyb/language choice listed.
The complete 'drivers' output or 'drivers -b' to put a page break should list something like this for the RX3600 which has to run HP-UX :


Shell> drivers -b

T D
D Y C I
R P F A
V VERSION E G G #D #C DRIVER NAME IMAGE NAME
== ======== = = = == == =================================== ===================
.....

27 02000E00 B X X 1 6 LSI Logic Fusion MPT SAS Driver PciROM:14:01:00:001
28 00002160 B - - 1 1 Intel(R) PRO/1000 v2.16 EFI-64 PciROM:14:02:01:000
29 00002160 B - - 1 1 Intel(R) PRO/1000 v2.16 EFI-64 PciROM:14:02:00:000
...


running the command 'drvcfg 27 2a -s' (in my case) should start your config utility for the LSI SAS/raid controller ('HP PCI/PCI-X SAS MPT Adapter) which is the boot controller for HP-UX (unless you have a PCI-Express version) see below :


--------------------------------------------------------------
LSI Logic MPT Setup Utility (2006.05.04) 2.00.14.00
Adapter List
Adapter PCI PCI PCI FW Revision Status
Bus Dev Fnc
SAS1068 14 01 00 1.16.00.00-IR Enabled





Esc = Exit Menu F1/Shift+1 = Help
Enter = Adapter Properties
------------------------------------



The 'drvcfg' command is intended to configure i.e. the lan cards, SCSI controllers, Fibre HBA's or the LSI logic SAS raid controller which is normally the core I/O card for HP-UX systems, the SmartArray P600 isn't supported on HP-UX as boot controller ... not sure what went wrong with your order, pls see :

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12595_na/12595_na.HTML which clearly mentions the boot controllers for HP -UX (SAS and PCI-Express p400 only)

Hi Kris,

Well that was certainly a thorough explanation, and I may have to have a look at it in some depth, because I now have a running system, it turns out that we can't really use this version of hp-ux, since DB2 doesn't want to install on it.
