HSJ Storage Controller

[Mario Abruzzi]

Is there a way to connect to the HSJ controllers from OpenVMS? For example, is there a SET HOST/SCSI equivalent for the HSJ? If so, are there any drivers that need to be loaded to support the command?

Mario,

Yes, you can do it with SET HOST/DUP.

This requires the FYDRIVER. The following error indicates that the FYDRIVER has not been loaded:

%HSCPAD-F-DRVNOTLOAD, FYDRIVER not loaded
-SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available

You can load the FYDRIVER as follows:
For OpenVMS VAX:

$ MCR SYSGEN
SYSGEN> LOAD SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:FYDRIVER
SYSGEN> CONNECT FYA0 /NOADAPTER
SYSGEN> EXIT

For OpenVMS Alpha:

$ MCR SYSMAN
SYSMAN> IO CONNECT FYA0 /NOADAPTER/DRIVER=SYS$FYDRIVER
SYSMAN> EXIT

Once FYDRIVER is loaded, make the virtual terminal connection as follows:

$ SET HOST /DUP /SERVER=MSCP$DUP /TASK=CLI /LOG=file

where is the SCS nodename of the controller (see SHOW CLUSTER)

If you want to do this on a regular basis, load the drivers in SYCONFIG.COM

Mario,
After following the suggestion by John, use all the show commands at controller prompt that you are interested in preserving and then also collect the configuration
show this_controller full
show other_controller full
