New SCSI Drivers

For the rx9610 and rx4610 servers, two new SCSI HBA drivers, qlisp and c8xx, are released in HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20). The c8xx driver runs on all IPF systems and replaces the c720 HBA driver on PA systems. The qlisp HBA driver is a new driver to support the 12160 Qlogic SCSI controller.
The c8xx HBA driver supports both the A5150A, Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI, and the A5159A, Dual Channel FWD SCSI-2, add-in PCI cards.
The qlisp HBA driver supports the core Qlogic SCSI controller. There is no early dump support in HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20).
Unlike PAsystems, on IPF based systems, it is not possible to get a crash dump before the system is booted. For more information, see System Crash Dump Changes in Chapter 3 of the HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Release Notes, “HP-UX Features.”

Tachlite Driver

For the rx9610 and rx4610 servers, this release includes td, the Fibre Channel PCI Tachyon TL driver. This version of the driver supports Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) only. Fabric is not supported in this release.
The IPF platforms supported by this driver are:
• hp server rx9610
• hp server rx4610 For a complete list of supported platforms and devices as well as other
up-to-date information, see the Fibre Channel web site at http://techsolutions.hp.com.

LSI LVD UltraII SCSI Controller

On Itanium-based servers, unlike PA-based systems, the LSI LVD UltraII SCSI controller, part number A5149A, can not boot from targets with SCSI ID greater than 7. These controllers have the Sub System ID Bits (SSID) set such that the card is forced into narrow mode.
Specifying Bootable Devices in the LSI BIOS
The LSI BIOS is used to determine which SCSI HBAs are searched for bootable devices. The LSI BIOS limits this selection to a maximum of four possible choices, determined by the PCI bus slot order. Any boot target must reside on one of those default controllers.
NOTE HP-UX will let you install to any device on the system but if the device is
not on one of the default controllers you can not boot from it.

QLogic SCSI Adapter Rates

For the rx9610 and rx4610 servers, some JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disk) enclosures contain internal cabling for a slower SCSI rate than newer disk devices may accept. If an Ultra160 disk accepts the higher rate in an Ultra2 enclosure, a hang will occur in data transfers. To force the autonegotiation to use a slower rate, you must configure the SCSI adapter.
Setting external QLogic SCSI connector for JBODs:
Step 1. Enter Alt-Q when prompted on machine book Step 2. Choose
Configuration Settings->Host Adapter Settings Adapter Configuration: Manual
Chapter 124
Introduction and Related Information
Changing to Manual mode allows access to all the fields in the device settings screen.
Step 3. Choose

Step 4. Configuration Settings->Host Adapter Settings
Adapter Configuration: AUTO
Changing back to AUTO mode allows autonegotiation to occur but based on the new device settings. Leaving this at Manual may cause the card to complain with warnings as the settings are forced on the SCSI devices without negotiation.

CAUTION If your system needs to be reinstalled at any point, the root disk will be
overwritten and all data on it will be lost. For that reason, we recommend that you do not put user data on the root disk.

Root Disk

HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 provides several file system choices for the root disk.
• By default, the system installs VxVM on the root disk with VxFS file
systems. Unless the system firmware supports the edd30 command, VxVM should only be installed onto a disk located at target 0. Once installed, you should not physically move the VxVM root disk.
— Striping volumes can be configured during the install. — Mirrored volumes can not be configured during the install.
Configure mirroring after the installation is complete.
• Whole-disk VxFS
• HFS file systems are not supported.
• Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is not supported as root disk, use
VxVM instead.

Pre-Install Data Tables

The pre-install data tables are located in Appendix C.
IMPORTANT All of the data in these tables is required to install HP-UX 11i Version
1.5 (with the exception of the networking information if you are installing a stand-alone system).
By completing the following tables prior to beginning the install of HP-UX 11i Version 1.5, you will have all the data you need, in one place, to successfully complete the install once you have started.
Chapter 230
Installing HP-UX 11i Version 1.5
Planning your HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Cold Install

How to Install HP-UX 11i Version 1.5

To cold install the operating system, which overwrites everything on the target disk:
Step 1. Make sure any external devices connected to the target system are
turned ON and operational.
Step 2. Insert the HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 DVD into the drive. Step 3. Turn the system ON, reboot, or cycle power. The system should boot
automatically from the DVD; if it does, go directly to step 4. IMPORTANT: If the system does not boot automatically, you will be
taken to the boot menu, which is a timed menu -- press any key to stop the timer. Then, you can run install manually from the EFI shell, as follows:
1. Select EFI Shell (Built In) from the boot menu.
2. Display the list of devices by typing:
map -b
(The -b command line option scrolls the screen one page at a time in the event that the device list is longer than one page.)
3. Look at the list of devices (displayed as fs0, fs1, etc.) and identify the
DVD-ROM device. An example of a DVD-ROM device entry from the
map command:
fs0 : Acpi (PNP0A03),0)/Pci(3|1)/Ata(Secondary,Master)
/CDROM(Entry1)
4. The edd30 [on | off ] command toggles the BIOS option to
display device path according to the EDD 3.0 specification. If the BIOS option is off, the root disk must be located at target 0. If the root disk is not located at target 0, type :
edd30 on
to enable EDD 3.0.
5. Then enter the command
the DVD-ROM device is fs0, you would enter
fs0:\install
Chapter 2 31
device_name
:\install. For example, if
Installing HP-UX 11i Version 1.5
Planning your HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Cold Install
Step 4. Verify the system booted from the DVD. The bootloader will display a
message indicating you have 20 seconds to interrupt the boot process. The AUTO file should contain the string
boot :IINSTALL -c0
If the AUTO file string is different from the above, you may have booted from the wrong device. In that case, interrupt the boot process, enter the EFI shell. From the EFI shell, select the correct device, as explained in step 3.
Step 5. Once the kernel has booted, it will scan the system for IO devices. Step 6. The system now displays the Ignite-UX welcome screen for the HP-UX
installation process. If you have used Ignite-UX on PA systems, the remaining procedures will be familiar to you.
Take a moment to read how to navigate and select choices on this terminal interface:
• Use the Tab key to navigate between fields and the arrow keys to
navigate within fields.
• Use the Return/Enter key to select an item. Pressing Return/Enter or the
space-bar opens a menu list.
• For Help, use Cntl-K for navigation key help and Cntl-F (or F1) for
context-sensitive help.
• You can enter the underlined letter of an item (such as I for install
HP-UX) to navigate more quickly.
Step 7. Select Install HP-UX to begin interacting with the Ignite-UX (cold-install)
program.
Step 8. From the User Interface and Media Options screen, choose the degree of
customizing needed to configure the installation. The default setting under Source Location Options (Media only installation) is correct for installing from a DVD.
Three choices are shown in User Interface Options:
Guided Installation provides tutorial information and limited choices
for inexperienced Ignite-UX users.
Advanced Installation enables you to customize your system on tabbed
screens. Use this mode to change VxVM settings. You may also find it convenient to set system parameters, network services, file-system characteristics, and other configuration details.
Chapter 232
Installing HP-UX 11i Version 1.5
Planning your HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Cold Install
No User Interface Use all the defaults and GO. Ignite-UX permits you to exit from Guided Installation and restart the
configuration using Advanced Installation later by either selecting the
Cancel button or pressing C. Mark your choices and select OK.
NOTE The remaining steps take you through the Guided Installation. For help,
consult the Help screens. For more help on using Advanced Installation, see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide.
Step 9. You are now at the first step of the Install HP-UX Wizard: Select an
overall system configuration. Accept the default option: HP-UX 11i
Version 1.5 (B.11.20).
Step 10. Select a system environment. In this step you will choose the type of
desktop, or windowing system that will be installed on your system. If you are unsure of which environment to choose, the CDE (Common Desktop Environment) HP-UX Environment is recommended. Make your selection before continuing.
Step 11. Select a root disk. In this step you will choose the disk that will house
your root filesystem. If you are unsure of what to choose, keep the default selection which has been calculated by the install program.
Step 12. Specify the amount of root swap space. Some initial calculations have
been performed by the install program, and a recommended value has been set for you. You can either accept this value or change it before continuing.
Step 13. Selectfilesystem type. The default value chosen by the install program is
recommended. On the File System tab, choose between Whole-disk with VxFS and VxVM
(HP VERITAS Volume Manager with VxFS). The following restrictions and limitations apply to VxVM:
• The VxVM install option may be used only when installing onto a
disk located at target 0 unless the firmware supports the edd30 command. If you did not enable EDD 3.0 and you need to, you can break out of the HP-UX Install Wizard, reboot the machine, and start again (see step 3). If the edd30 command succeeds you may install VxVM to any target. If the command fails, you may only install VxVM
Chapter 2 33
Installing HP-UX 11i Version 1.5
Planning your HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Cold Install
to target 0.
• Once installed, the VxVM root disk can not be moved to another SCSI
bus or address that results in a change in the hardware path to the device. If it is moved, you may not be able to boot sanely from it. This is similar to the limitation present in LVM.
Step 14. Specify root disk volume group disks. In this step you will specify how
many disks you want placed into the root disk volume group and whether or not you would like the disks to be striped. (The HP-UX Install Wizard describes these features in depth.)
Step 15. Select language(s). Browse the available languages, marking the desired
selections.
Step 16. Selectthe user license. In this step you will select the type of user license
you wish to install on your system. This information does not have to be exact, but should represent what you believe to be the primary usage of your system. A minimal two-user license is denoted here. To load licenses for more than two users, you must use the Application DVD.
Step 17. Select additional software. In this step you may select any additional
software which you would like loaded onto your system. Browse the list, marking your selections, then continue to the next step.
Step 18. Pre-Installcheck information, Step 1. There are two steps involved in the
pre-install checks. The first is to identify which disks will be overwritten during the install process. If you see disk in the list that you do not want included, back up to the root disk selection and choose another disk. Otherwise continue on to the next step.
Step 19. Pre-Install check information, Step 2. The second step in the pre-install
check is to review any errors or warnings. Warnings are simply informational. If there are any errors, they will need to be resolved before the installation can continue.
Step 20. System summary. At this point you have successfully defined your
system. Use the show summary button to view a summary of how your system will be configured. If you see any problems, or wish to change any of your selections, feel free to back up to the appropriate step, and make the needed changes. Otherwise, select Finish (at the bottom of the tabs). You have the chance to Cancel at this time. If you cancel, you return to the previous configuration screen.
Step 21. Next, the installation will begin with filesets being copied from the
Chapter 234
Installing HP-UX 11i Version 1.5
Planning your HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Cold Install
media to the hard disk. The system will automatically reboot during the installation process.
Step 22. After the system has rebooted, the Welcome to HP-UX screen is
displayed. At this point, you will need to answer a few questions before you can use the system. The first is whether or not you plan to use the system on a network. If you have completed the pre-install data collection tables in Appendix C, you have all of the information you need to complete the networking section of the install, so answer Y for yes.
Step 23. On the following screens, enter the basic network configuration
information that you collected in Appendix C. Depending on how you set up your parameters, the system either will have configured them automatically or will call the set_parms command to allow you to set the root password, date and time, time zone, IP address, and additional network parameters.
Step 24. Confirm your choices. Congratulations! You are now finished with the
install procedure and will be given the opportunity to log in to the system as root.
Step 25. Log in to the system. Step 26. Afterthe cold install, store the HP-UX OS DVDs in a safe place. You may
need them to install drivers or other software later.

How to Create a System Backup

How to Create a System Backup
You do not need to create a back up immediately after a cold install. The Ignite-UX product is not available for making a system recovery
backup at the time of the initial release of HP-UX 11i Version 1.5. When it is released, it will be available for download from HP’s Software Depot:
http://software.hp.com/software/HPsoftware/IUX/
Before Ignite-UX is available, once you have begun putting additional files on your system we recommend using the fbackup command to create a backup archive and frecover to restore the system if necessary. By backing up your system, you will have a reliable system image to return to if subsequent system changes or failures corrupt your system.

How to Install Optional Software Products

How to Install Optional Software Products
The Applications DVD that is distributed with HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 contains optional development tools and system management software.
HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 must be booted in order to install optional software products. The following is the procedure for installing products from the Applications DVD.
Step 1. Insert the Applications DVD in the DVD-ROM drive. Step 2. Mount the Applications DVD.
Toinstall software from the Applications DVD, you must mount the DVD as a filesystem that HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 can access.
a. Determine the DVD-ROM device name.
Use the ioscan -funC disk command to list disk devices, including the DVD-ROM. The following sample output shows a DVD-ROM on cabinet 0 whose device name is /dev/dsk/c1t0d0.
Post-Install Information
disk 4 4/2/0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0
b. Create a mount point for the Applications DVD, if one does not yet
exist.
The mount point is a directory that HP-UX will use as an access point for the DVD. Often a /CDROM directory is used. If this directory does not exist, create it using the mkdir /CDROM command.
c. Use the mount command to mount the DVD.
Using the mount command, specify the DVD-ROM device name and mount point. Forexample, the following command mounts the /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 device as the /CDROM directory.
mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /CDROM
See the mount (1M) manpage for details.
Step 3. Use swinstall to install software from the Application DVD.
Appendix A 39
Post-Install Information
How to Install Optional Software Products
The following example command runs swinstall to install software from the source mounted at /CDROM.
swinstall -i -s /CDROM
See the swinstall (1M) manpage for details.
Step 4. Select and install software from the Applications DVD.
The swinstall program presents an interface for selecting and installing software from the DVD.
Step 5. Unmount and eject the Applications DVD.
You must unmount the DVD before you can eject it from the DVD-ROM drive. The DVD is automatically unmounted whenever the server reboots.
Use the umount command to unmount the DVD. For example, umount /CDROM will unmount the /CDROM filesystem. See the umount
(1M) manpage for details.

This message is produced because the is_kernel and is_reboot flags in the fileset are not set properly. It is strictly informational and does not affect the actual installation. A kernel build occurs automatically at the end of the installation.

Data Collection Tables

C Data Collection Tables

You will need to supply the information in the following tables when installing HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20).
If you chose the guided install, you will be prompted for the information in these tables at various stages throughout the install, by the HP-UX Install Wizard.
If you chose the Advanced Install, you will be given the opportunity to enter all of this information at the beginning of the install using a tabbed file-folder character-based interface.
NOTE If you choose to network-enable your system, you must designate a
unique host name, host IP address, and other network information for your server or workstation. Refer to your site network administrator for those details to include in these tables.
If there is an HP-UX command that you can use after the install to confirm specific information entered by a command, it is provided with that command in the data collection table.

Data Collection Tables
NOTE Some of the items in the following table, Miscellaneous Information, may
not be familiar to you, but they are all questions that will be asked of you during the install. All options are described in detail during the install, so you can defer making decisions about those unfamiliar to you until you reach that point in the install.
