[Carlos Zampar]

Hi,

 Im try to understand how to install one storage array SCSI Ultra320 A6961-60011 in my rp4440 follow the situation:

I want to install these array for increase my vg00 volume. Just a little help, for me understand this hardware configuration.

   Thanks in advance for any help, best regards Carlos.

[Torsten.]

I assume you have mirrored internal disks for vg00 (each is 300GB).


This should be MORE than enough for vg00!!!


Now you have a new SCSI controller installed.


Now what? You need some external disks to store your data!

Create another volume group on them!!!

[Carlos Zampar]

I try to create new volume grup vg01 for exmple, but SAM does not see the new disks, and another question a "dummie question" in machine boot with SEArch option I dont see this new disks is normally? Thank in advance.

[Torsten.]

What kind of disks did you connect? What chassis model?

Can you see them in ioscan?

[Carlos Zampar]

The disk are 146.8GB 15k Ultra320scsi model BF14689BC5, have 8 drives in a COMPAQ StorageWorks, here have a full display of ioscan, and I can see only the 2 default 300gb disks the others I can´t.

Thanks again regards Carlos.

No disks visible.

>> in a COMPAQ StorageWorks

What model???

Like MSA30 or whatever.

[Carlos Zampar]

Inside the rack have this information:
Compaq DS-SL13R-AA
70-40434-01
Series EK1502

This information help in anything?

Thanks again, Carlos.

[Torsten.]

It looks almost like a MSA30, but I'm sure this is not supported with hp-ux.

Hi, some good news, after googling, I reduce the scsi speed in Service Menu from max to ultra160 and now I see te disks look:

Torsten thanks very much for your attention best regards Carlos.

[Torsten.]

Interesting (but still unsupported).

How about

# mptconfig /dev/mpt3



I also wonder why the internal controller has ID 3 - I would adjust this back to ID 7!

[Carlos Zampar]

Here the result from mptconfig command:

root # mptconfig /dev/mpt3
