wwidmgr on HP Integrity v HP Alpha

[Andrew Rycroft1]

Hi,

We have just received an HP Integrity with OpenVMS that we intend to connect to our SAN. On our Alpha systems we had to set the SAN HBA adapters with the wwidmgr utility at console mode. How do we do this on the HP integrity platform?

Thanks
Andrew

Andrew,

there is no WWIDMGR for Itanium systems.

Please see the documentation in the chater 7.7 in the following manual:

Guidelines for OpenVMS Cluster Configurations

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/82FINAL/6318/6318pro_012.html#booting_i64_h

You can configure the SAN boot pathes using
$$$ @SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS
when booted from the OpenVMS I64 Operating System DVD.

How does this handle the dump_dev setting? On alpha's we had to make sure the dump_dev was set using the wwidmgr utility.

Peter,

the @SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS.COM menue also lets you work on the Dump Device and Debug Device Options list.

Or use can use the following EFI command:

FSn:\EFI\VMS\VMS_SET DUMP_DEV device-name,...

Both is described in the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 2: Tuning, Monitoring, and Complex Systems. Chapter 2 Managing Page, Swap, and Dump Files:
