rx6600

Hi,

We have a rx6600 server which came with 16 * 300 GB disks. with P400i Controller card which supports RAID 6. Its running HP-UX 11iV3. In ioscan -funC disk, it shows 8 * 300 GB disks and 1 * 588 GB Logical disk, which i think is a logical drive from the internal array. I would like review the RAID configuration but unable to do it. Through MP, when I access "co", it shows the P400i controller card and shows 1 logical drive out of it, However, when i Press F8 to make some changes it takes me to EFI shell. I except some Interface to review RAID settings of P400i controller card. Please suggest the way ahead.

Instead of "F8" you need to use ESC 8.

From hp-ux run

# ioscan -fn

and look out for a "ciss" device, let's say /dev/ciss0.

Then run

# saconfig /dev/ciss0

for the details.

Hi Torsten,

I used Esc+8 and got into ORCA. However, I cant delete any logical drive. I think its usage of keys, because I am on Console through MP and not through VGA console.

The manual says "... Use the arrow keys, space bar, and Tab key to navigate around..." - for me this always works even via MP.


However, if the logical drive is not the boot disk, you can do this (and even some more) online with saconfig.
