Wanting to connect Dome to IBM ESS [shark]

[Joe Zoda]

Hello All, We had this dome at another datacenter hooked to an EMC Sym. Worked great. Server was to be moved to another data center. I used PVmigrate to move to internal scsi. Dome now in new location - I want to attach to our IBM DS8000 - which HBA's are supported? do i need to update drivers? Please lay out the steps i need to take. THANKS - pls see attachment

Hi,

HBA Supported:
PCI 2 GB Fibre Channel adapter for HP-UX 11i A6795A

PCI-X dual port 2 GB/s Fibre Channel for HP-UX 11i A6826A

For FC drivers, you don't have upgrade, but always recommended:

Your Dome Firmware is also better be upgraded:

for the steps, upgrade the dome firmware, install the HBA and then upgrade HBA driver.

Regards,
Sandy
