Re: installing tru64 unix on alpha ES40 with raid controller DS-KZPCC

i started as follows
1- tried to install tru64 version 4.0f. failed to do.
2- tried to install tru64 version 5.1B. succeeded
3- removed the raid controller \
installed SCSI card
4- connect the disks cage to the new SCSI controller
5- tried to install tru64 version 4.0f.
failed to do
6- went to the following site
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/nhd/NHD3/TITLE.HTM
and follow the procedure of creating ISO-CD but i face problems after building the links in step 11,12 on chapter 3 section 3
and it is the same problem as before

Re: installing tru64 unix on alpha ES40 with raid controller DS-KZPCC

Mahdi,

I'm missing all the steps described within the card-installation instruction (checking firmware and update to minim req. version, nhd3 installation, patchkit check and installation). Have you tested to install 4.0f to a disk connected to a supported controller (out of the box), this will always work, then install nhd3 and patchkit as described.

Why are you playing around installing the controller without NHD3 support, and what exact version of the controller do you have (firmware, model etc.)

We are lost in a circle, without reading the installation instruction and without a valid installation with nhd3 there is no reason why using the controller!

"Have you tested to install 4.0f to a disk connected to a supported controller (out of the box"

***yes and i face the same problem
no this is not possible, if all hardware is on the supported option list it will work - believe. So it is time to call HP support.

***I did tried but i face the same problem
4.0f will work on and with every hardware listed in the supported option list of Tru64 4.0f. Period.

*** Raid information:
*** model: PM3755V2B *** serial: 12-102751
with that kind of model number I can not find anything. Why not giving the id requested kzpcc-??

Mahdi,

time to check the same source for installation instruction of the other components as with your controller.

This is not a pc where playing around will lead to any result. Check the supported option list, follow the instruction of the description of each component matching the configuration and it will work. If it is not supported it will fail sooner or later.

We have spent a lot of time to help you giving always the same information again and again but it seems pointers are useless without reading it.

Re: installing tru64 unix on alpha ES40 with raid controller DS-KZPCC

again: have a look into the supported option list.

If you will not read it - good luck.
