Re: setting hba parameters before the system boots

We are a bit off topic now, but not so far away.



In case of such smartarray controller your only chance is to boot from an install media (hp-ux 11.11 install DVD), go to recover shell, load the needed tools (ciss driver and saconfig/sautil utilities) and use them from the recovery shell.

Since this card has a BIOS, it can store the modifications that way.

Hope this helps!

Re: setting hba parameters before the system boots

But now I'm curious about ... what card model we talk about all the time?

Are you able to boot from?

AFAIR there are some old cards not supported for boot at all.

I assume the cards supported on an old L class server cannot store any configuration values at all.

Hope this helps!

Torsten.
