Hardware and Software Installation Procedure

Step 1: Access the system card bay

Hardware and Software Installation Procedure

These instructions apply to AB290A PCI-X 2-Port U320 SCSI and 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet combination cards. For pre-requisite information such as system ﬁrmware requirements or card ﬁrmware requirements, please see the AB290A Combination Card Support Matrix on the web at http://docs.hp.com under “I/O Cards and Networking Software” and then under “Combination Cards.”

If your combination card was factory installed (ordered on product option 0D1), the two software bundles required for this card --IEther-00 (for LAN) and scsiU320-00 (for SCSI) are already loaded onto your

system’s hard drive.

Adding in the card: HP-UX 11i v 1.0

If your system is HP-UX 11i v 1.0 based, you need to get the two driver bundles from the December 2004 version of HP-UX 11i v 1.0. You do not necessarily have to load the entire OE if you don’t want to. To add the product for 11i v 1.0:

• You can either load the entire HP-UX 11i v 1.0 December 2004 OE from the distribution media and you will automatically get the correct LAN and SCSI driver bundles.

• You can just select and load the two driver bundles IEther-00 and scsiU320-00 required for this card.

Adding in the card: HP-UX 11i v 2.0 of September 2004 or later

• In order to use the AB290A combination cards with HP-UX 11i v 2.0 of September 2004, your system needs to be on that OE.

• So, if your system does not have 11i v 2.0 of September 2004 (or later), you need to load the entire HP-UX 11i v 2.0 September 2004 (or later) OE from the distribution media, and you will automatically get the correct LAN and SCSI driver bundles.

These AB290A combination cards can be added to your system or replaced without the need to shut down or reboot the system--a process called online addition and replacement (OLAR). The following instructions assume you are not performing online addition and replacement.

Step 1: Access the system card bay

• If the system is running, ﬁrst, issue the sync command. Then, shut down the system by executing: shutdown -h. Respond “y” to the continue to shutdown prompt.

• Wait for the system to shut down completely, and then power off the system by pressing the system off button. Ensure that the system is grounded.

• Open the system to gain access to the PCI backplane.

• Select an empty PCI or PCI-X slot and remove the slot cover. The card can operate in PCI as well as PCI-X mode. Some servers have “shared” slots. If you put this card in a shared slot that is shared with a slower card, both cards will then operate at the slower card’s speed.

1. If your combination card was factory installed (ordered on product option 0D1), you do not need to

perform the hardware and software installation steps,. You still need to conﬁgure the card’s IP address and possibly set other parameters and options such as those mentioned in Table 2 on page 12 The Network Conﬁguration worksheet.

Hardware and Software Installation Procedure

Step 2: Install the card

• Check the latest support matrixes to see the systems that support this card, how many cards per system, and if any software updates are needed. There are support matrixes for both Gigabit Ethernet and SCSI available on the web at http://docs.hp.com under “I/O Cards and Networking Software.”

• Observe the antistatic precautions. HP recommends wearing ESD straps when installing the card.

• Record the serial number and MAC address located on the card for future reference. The MAC address labelled on the card refers to LAN port A. Add 1 to obtain the MAC address for LAN port B.

• Grasp the card by its edges or faceplate with both hands, insert the card into the slot, and ﬁrmly but gently press the card in until it is fully seated.

• Secure the card and reassemble the system.

Step 3: Connect the card to the network

• Attach two LAN cables to the card (Figure 1). For 1000Base-T, cabling must be Cat 5 UTP or better with RJ-45 connectors. The maximum cable length for 1000Base-T (Copper UTP) is 100 meters over Cat 5 or Cat 5E.

• Attach the free end of a LAN cable to any unused port on the switch. Do the same for the other port. The LAN ports on the cards operate at 10 or 100 Mbit/s in either full- or half-duplex modes and at 1000 Mbit/s only in full-duplex mode. Set the ports on the card and on your switch according to the following table.

Table 1 HP-UX 1000Base-T Supported Conﬁgurations

HP-UX 1000Base-T Port Link Partner Resulting Speed

AUTO AUTO Highest Common Speed (HP-UX supports 10/100/1000)

AUTO 1000 FD ﬁxed/manual 1000 Mbit/s FD

10 HD 10 HD (for example, a

10Base-T Hub)

10 FD 10 FD 10 Mbit/s FD

100 HD 100 HD 100 Mbit/s HD

100 FD 100 FD 100 Mbit/s FD

If you are using Jumbo Ethernet frames, ensure that:

— all end stations on a given LAN1 have the same maximum transmission unit (MTU) setting; — intermediate stations such as switch ports in your LAN have an MTU equal to or greater than the end

station’s MTU.

10 Mbit/s HD

1. In the Jumbo Frames discussion, “LAN” means that the end stations do not have any routers or

layer 3 switches in between them.

Hardware and Software Installation Procedure

Step 4: Connect the SCSI peripherals

You can connect as many as 15 other SCSI devices to each port on this card by chaining them together serially with shielded external SCSI cables.

The maximum length of the SCSI bus is 12 meters when using LVD signalling and 6 meters when using SE.

• Plug the 68-pin very high density cable interconnect (VHDCI) connector on the shielded external cable into SCSI port A or B.

• Plug the 68-pin connector on the other end of the shielded external SCSI cable into the SCSI connector on your external SCSI device.

SCSI Bus Termination

The pieces of equipment on the ends of a SCSI bus normally have terminators. Remove or disable termination on all other SCSI devices or initiators in the middle of the bus. This card’s SCSI ports have automatic termination when shipped from the factory--no physical terminators are required on unused ports of the card.

Please be aware of the following conditions:

— Connect only external SCSI devices to this SCSI card. Terminate the last external device on the SCSI

bus, and disable the termination on all other devices. Termination on this SCSI card is automatically enabled in this case (if the jumper is off).

— Low-voltage differential peripheral devices are normally terminated with external terminators but

are sometimes set with jumpers or a switch on the peripheral. Refer to the device manual to identify terminator settings and how to change them.

Step 5: Power Up the system

• Determine the SCSI ID required for each device on the SCSI bus.

• Power up the system.

• Record the IDs of the SCSI ports on this card.

Setting SCSI IDs Ofﬂine

For PA-RISC based systems, you can use the Boot Console Handler (BCH) menus to set SCSI IDs ofﬂine according to the instructions in the manual HP A7173A PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Host Bus Adapter Support Guide available at http://docs.hp.com.

For Itanium based systems, use EFI to set the SCSI IDs ofﬂine. See the HP A7173A PCI-X Dual

Channel Ultra320 SCSI Host Bus Adapter Support Guide for details.

Setting SCSI IDs Online

For all supported systems (HP Integrity or HP 9000), you can use the mptconfig command to display and set SCSI IDs online . See the HP A7173A PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Host Bus Adapter Support Guide for details.

NOTE Peripheral device SCSI IDs are typically determined automatically by the storage

enclosure, or they may be set manually by a switch on the storage enclosure. Refer to the peripheral device documentation, to determine how the SCSI ID of each peripheral device is set, and how to change it.

Hardware and Software Installation Procedure

Step 6: Prepare to install the software

IMPORTANT You must not have duplicate SCSI IDs on a SCSI bus; the system may hang or crash if you

have duplicate SCSI IDs on the same bus.

Setting SCSI IDs

You must set each SCSI device and its corresponding port on the SCSI card to a separate SCSI ID, 0 through 15 for a 16-bit SCSI. SCSI ID 7 is the preset host adapter setting, giving it the highest priority on the SCSI bus.

To change this default to a different SCSI address for high availability (HA) systems, you must use the Boot Code Handler or BCH. You must invoke the appropriate commands in the SCSI section of the BCH and change the address electronically to whatever is required for the HA conﬁguration being used.

Peripheral device SCSI IDs are usually set with jumpers or a switch on the peripheral. Refer to the peripheral manufacturer’s instructions to determine the ID of each device and how to change it. You must have no duplication of SCSI IDs on a SCSI bus.

• Upon power up, any error messages will appear on the terminal display or system console. You can also use the dmesg command to retrieve startup messages later.

• Verify that the Ethernet LAN connector’s Link LED is on.

• When the system is up, log in as root and verify that the card and its hardware path are displayed by executing the command: ioscan.

Step 6: Prepare to install the software

• Check that the /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, and /sbin directories are in your PATH using the command: echo $PATH

• Check the HP-UX version by entering: uname -r # uname -r

B.11.11

B.11.23

The version must be B.11.11 for 11i v 1.0 or B.11.23 for 11i v 2.0.

• Check the Release Notes for IEther-00 and scsiU320-00 to see if you need to install any appropriate patches for your system. Release Notes are available on the Web at http://docs.hp.com under I/O Cards and Networking Software.

Step 7: Install the latest software.

• Load the software media into the appropriate drive.

— If you are adding the Gigabit Ethernet software bundle (IEther-00) for 11i v 1.0, you can get the

Gigabit Ethernet software bundle on the December 2004 (or later) OE distribution media.

— If you are adding the Gigabit Ethernet software bundle (IEther-00) for 11i v 2.0, you must use the

September 2004 (or later) OE distribution media.

• Run the swinstall program to install the software using the command: swinstall.

• Change the host name after “Source Host Name,” if necessary.
