internal disk mirroring with SA6402 controller
I have rp3440 server came with factory installed HP UX 11i V1. internal two HDD is connected to internal SCSI controller. But now we want to install SA6402 controller and connect inter 2 HDD to one of he SA6402 channle and another for to connect MSA30.
I did cabling as per doc and followed the instructions on how to set boot device on SA6402. Once i boot with core OS and recovery CD and go to recovery shell cmmand there disks are not detected but external MSA30 disks are detected. I have tried only connecting internal disks but no luck and loadfile is failed saying no device file found.
Kindly help us on how to create RAID1 on intenal disks with SA6402 controller. SA6402 controller is installed in PCI slot 3 as recommended for internal disk mirror support.
Thanks and Regards,
Ashish

Re: internal disk mirroring with SA6402 controller
according to
http://www.hp.com/products1/serverconnectivity/support_matrices.html
the Raid cards are not supported for the internal disks of the rp3440.
Of course this does not mean that it is definitely not possible to use this configuration, but you might not get any support from HP if you run into problems later.
If you want to do the experiment:
I see no reason why the internal disks should not be recognized. Maybe you used the wrong internal cable (Disks A & B are on one cable, disk C is on another and on the same SCSI bus as the external port).
best regards
Stefan

Re: internal disk mirroring with SA6402 controller
Too many documents!
http://docs.hp.com/en/SM-20060504//en/SM-20060504/raidcombinedsupportmatrix_5_4_06.htm
says it is supported.
Even the "Internal Cabling Guide
for HP Smart Array Controllers" (Manufacturing Part Number: 5971-4280) has a chapter 4 named "4 Cabling for the HP 9000 rp3440 Server"
This chapter describes how to connect the cables of an HP Smart Array 6402 or 6404 controller card to the
internal hard drives of an HP 9000 rp3440 server.
Should work!
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: internal disk mirroring with SA6402 controller
You probably need to install patch PHSS_33086.
Hope this helps!
