Need driver for A3404A on 10.20

[Greg Cazian]

Would someone be so kind to send me the driver for A3404A fibre card? I believe that I need the J3630BA bundle.

To give a quick background, we have a K-series 9000/889 that we had to reinstall the OS (10.20)on. We now cannot see our disk array which is attached via the A3404A FC. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My e-mail is:

Greg,

For a K box running 10.2 you'll need J2759BA driver (HBA A3404A).
Do you have any 10.20 App CD's?

You'll find it on CD#1

Rgrds,
Rita

Hi Rita,
Thanks for the response. I have the 3 disk Applications set from May 97. Does this help?

[Rita C Workman]

Don't have anything that old..left around here. But since your email is above..I'll email you and make arrangements to send you something !

Rgrds,
Rita

Just a quick note;

I think the driver set made its first appearance in the April 99 release (probably March 99 Applications). Anything before that would have been on a DAT or a single-app CD. The best thing would of course be to get them off the Dec 2001 final release of 10.20 and the attached set of applications CD's. However, must point out that 10.20 is officially unsupported by HP after June 30, 2003. Unless this is a really legacy application, you should seriously consider upgrading to at least 11.00. Undoubtedly, the firmware on your array will one day soon get upgraded and will no longer work correctly with that arbitrated loop card.

We have no plans on upgrading this system to 11.00. It's pretty much been decommissioned, but there was some data still on it that we need. So, we're basically dead in the water for now until we get the driver...

If you have another machine with a free Fibre card, you could probably connect to it, import the volume groups and get your data that way. Any card (with an active driver) will do, since you are obviously set to do arbitrated loop or peer-peer anyway.
