是否有人在alpha station xp1000上安裝trucluster

[watermelonyu]

Q1 as title, 姑且不論trucluster support matrix, 請問是否有人裝過可以動 ?



Q2, 是否有alpha station xp1000可安裝的HBA卡, Fiber / Scsi 料號 ?



Q3, 承Q2, 如有相對應的HBA(fiber)卡, 是否可接San switch, 如為scsi, 是否可接msa30 ?



Q4, 是否可安裝Tru64 5.1B, 如否, 可安裝的最新版本Tru64為何 ?



謝謝.

我倒有裝alpha 800 +EVA5000+ tru64 5.1B cluster 的經驗

第一關會遇到firmware 需求不符,不過不管他還是可以裝5.1b,(Support matrix說安裝5.1B至少firmware要6.3以上,不過alpha 800是上不到6.3的)

因為只是測試環境,也就沒有穩定性的考量



第二關HBA用的是KGPSA-CA : Driver Rev 2.17 : F/W Rev_3.82A1(2.01A0) :

hwmgr -view device 看得到disk,但是不能disklabel,後來改用dual port HBA就可以了



其他你問的的問題,我想就要藉助其他人的經驗了

Hello Matthew:



The following are some answers for you:



My answers from web sites and local field

engineer are as follow:



Q3: SCSI HBA is workable, and MSA30 is upported

for HP AlphaServer platforms, but there is no

specific information to point out xp1000

station.



Q4: xp1000 can be installed with Tru64 UNIX

V5.1B, but it is a standalone machine,

TruCluster is NOT installed and tested so far

for local field engineer.



Best Regards

Danny

Hi Matthew,



> Q1 as title, 姑且不論trucluster support matrix, 請問是否有人裝過可以動 ?

Yes. It had run very well on XP1000 with TCR V5.1B/PK2 in Switzerland in 2003.



> Q2, 是否有alpha station xp1000可安裝的HBA卡, Fiber / Scsi 料號 ?

It is not supported on HBA SAN configuration on XP1000.



> Q3, 承Q2, 如有相對應的HBA(fiber)卡, 是否可接San switch, 如為scsi, 是否可接msa30 ?

Updated by the previous note.



> Q4, 是否可安裝Tru64 5.1B, 如否, 可安裝的最新版本Tru64為何 ?

Yes. It same as Q1.



Best regards,

Richard.
