Product Information
Front Panel Components
The Hot-Plug Process
The physical aspect of inserting and removing a disk drive is discussed in the document
that comes with the drive. However, the operating system must be prepared for the
insertion or removal of a disk, or unexpected and harmful effects may occur.
There is a significant difference between the terms “hot-pluggable” and “hot-swappable”.
Hot swapping happens at the device level; that is, a hot-swappable device manages
insertion/removal on its own without assistance from HP-UX commands. The disk drive(s)in the J6700 are not hot-swappable; they are merely hot-pluggable. Thus, a manual
software procedure must be done in order to safely remove or insert disk drives while the
system is running.
The hot-plug process allows you to replace a defective disk drive in a high-available system
while it is running.
Replacing a Failed Disk Drive
In the context of replacing a failed disk drive, the system administrator must determine
which disk has failed. Depending on how the system was set up, the identity of the failed
drive may or may not be obvious. This determination may be done in either of two ways:
• Tracking the error message written by the LVM (Logical Volume Manager) to the
system console and/or a log file. For information on LVM commands, see the man pages
for vgchange, lvreduce, vgfgrestore, lvlnboot, lvextend, lvsync, etc.
• If installed, run the diagnostic utility Support Tool Manager (xstm) to determine disk
malfunction.
The removal of a defective disk drive from an active file system is supported through LVM
commands if hot-pluggable disks have been configured into the HP-UX file system with
LVM. To provide high availability, without impact to users, the disks must also be
configured as mirrored disks. Disk-mirroring is accomplished through use of the
MirrorDisk/UX software (HP part number B2491BA); for information on classes, see
http://www.hgp.com/education/courses/h628s.html.
No graphical user interface is currently offered through the System Administrator
Manager (SAM) for doing the required LVM commands because manipulation of the LVM
requires specialized knowledge that only experienced system administrators are expected
to have (see below for details).
Chapter 117
Product Information
Front Panel Components
Hot-Plug Example
The following example describes a particular system problem where the solution is to
replace a hot-plug disk module.
Volume group /dev/vg00 contains the two disks, with the logical volume configuration as
shown:
The system problem for this example is that the disk at hardware address 10/0/13/0.0 has
a head crash, and as a result, is unusable. The steps described in the Hot-Plug Procedure
section below outline a method that can be used to recover from this state.
1. All of the replaced disk’s in-use extents must belong to mirrored logical volumes which
were created with the “strict” option (-s); see the documentation for MirrorDisk/UX.
2. You must have an up-to-date configuration backup file. This is done automatically each
time an LVM command changes LVM configuration.
The default backup file’s path is:
/etc/lvmconf/<
base_vg_name
>.conf
For example,
/etc/lvmconf/vg00.conf
3. The replacement disk must be the same product ID as the replaced one.
NOTEHP often uses different manufacturers for disks having the same product
number. The hot-plug manual procedure will not update the disk driver’s
internal information to that of the replaced disk.
The replacement disk will have the same capacity and block size as the defective disk
because they have the same product number. The only field that could be incorrect is the
string specifying the vendor’s name. This will not affect the behavior of the LVM. If it is
desired to update the manufacturer’s name, the disk’s volume group must be deactivated
and reactivated. See the HP-UX System Administration Tasks manual for details.
18Chapter1
Product Information
Front Panel Components
The Hot-Plug Procedure
These are the steps required to properly hot-plug a disk drive:
Step 1
• Check if the LVM found the physical volume to be defective when the volume group was
activated.
• The “vgchange -ay” command would have printed the following message on the
console:
WARNING:
VGCHANGE:WARNING: COULDN’T ATTACH TP THE VOLUME GROUP
PHYSICAL VOLUME “/DEV/DSK/cXtXdX”
THE PATH OF THE PHYSICAL VOLUME REFERS TO A DEVICE THAT DOES NOT
EXIST, OR IS NOT CONFIGURED INTO THE KERNEL.
• If the status of the “vgchange -v vg02” is unknown, you may checkif this occurred by
doing a vgdisplay command:
vgdisplay<
VG name
>
For our example:
vgdisplay /dev/vg00
• If the disk was defective at vgchange time, the following messages
will be printed one or more times:
“/DEV/DSK/cXtXdX”
THE SPECIFIED PATH DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO PHYSICAL VOLUME
ATTACHED TO THE VOLUME GROUP.
VGDISPLAY: WARNING: COULDN’T QUERY ALL OF THE PHYSICAL
VOLUMES
• If you see these messages, the disk was defective at the time the volume group was
activated.
Otherwise, your disk became defective after the vgchange and you must continue with
step 2 of this procedure.
Chapter 119
Product Information
Front Panel Components
Step 2
• Reduce any logical volumes that have mirror copies on the faulty disk so that they no
longer mirror onto that disk (note the -A n option). This will take a several minutes.
lvreduce -m 0 -A n <
LV name
> /dev/dsk/<
hard drive
>
(for 1-way mirroring)
For example:
lvreduce -m 0 -A n /dev/vg00/stand /dev/dsk/c2t5d0
lvreduce -m 0 -A n /dev/vg00/swap /dev/dsk/c2t5d0
lvreduce -m 0 -A n /dev/vg00/ /dev/dsk/c2t5d0
The number of logical volumes that this step needs is variable. For instance, on a mirror
of a root disk you should have at least three logical volumes: /stand (islvol1), /swap (is lvol2), and / (is lvol3). Note that if your root mirror disk dies,
you need to do the following:
— Follow the procedure in the section “Initial System Loader (ISL) Environment” in
the chapter “Boot Console Handler” in this document. At the Main Menu prompt
boot from the good disk.
— Type y at the Interact with ISL prompt and press
— Type this command at the ISL prompt and press
Enter.
Enter: hpux -lq
The -lq option stands for loss of quorum. Once this procedure has been completed the
system will boot.
Step 3
• Replace the faulty disk.
•Doanioscan on the replaced disk to insure that it is accessible and also as a double
check that it is a proper replacement.
For example:
ioscan /dev/dsk/c2t5d0
Step 4
• Restore the LVM configuration/headers onto the replaced disk from your backup of the
LVM configuration:
vgcfgrestore -n <
volume group name
> /dev/rdsk/cxtxd
x
where x is the logical unit number of the disk that has been replaced.
For example:
vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg00/dev/rdsk/c2t5d0
20Chapter1
Product Information
Front Panel Components
Step 5
• Attach the new disk to the active volume group with the vgchange command.
vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
Step 6
• If the disk is not a mirror of a root disk, then skip this step.
• Run the mkboot command. For example:
mkboot /dev/rdsk/c2t5d0
• Run lvlnboot -R to relink the replaced disk into the Boot Data Reserved Area of all
the Physical volumes in the Volume group.
lvlnboot -R
Step 7
• Run the lvsync command to synchronize the physical extents of each logical volume
specified by logical volume path. Synchronization occurs only on physical extents that
are stale mirrors of the original logical extent.
At this stage, your system should be fully functioning. Use the xstm command to verify.

URL:http://www.usb.org.
HP Hub for USB Devices
The HP USB hub provides you with the ability to connect more than two USB devices to
the workstation, as well as the ability to extend the USB device’s cable length. As an
example, you may desire to locate the workstation’s keyboard and mouse at a greater
distance from the workstation, but the keyboard and mouse cables are not long enough. To
increase the cable length, you must make use of the USB hub’s extra cable length and
connect the hub’s cable to one of the two connectors on the back of the workstation. You
then connect the keyboard and mouse into their separate connectors on the USB hub.

Internal Components
Microprocessors
The J6700 has two PA-8700 microprocessors with operating frequencies of 750MHz. Each
processor has 0.75 MB instruction cache and a 1.5 MB data cache. Each microprocessor is
cooled by a “turbocooler” which consists of a cylindrical heat sink and an integrated fan.
Power Supply
The power system is comprised of one apparent power factor 500W output power supply.
The maximum power needed by a fully-configured SPU is 715W input power. The
temperature sensor is located in the front of the power supply. The power supply weighs
approximately 8 lbs. (4 kg.). Please note that the system speaker is located in the power
supply.
CAUTIONHP does not recommend and does not support the use of “ferro-active” or
“ferro-resonant” power correction in conjunction with the J6700 workstation.
This type of line conditioner represents an older technology that is not
compatible with the most recent designs in active Power Factor Correction
(PFC) power supplies such as those in the HP J6700 workstations.
“Ferro-active” or “ferro-resonant” line conditioners may cause an increase in
total harmonic distortion and may produce significant and unpredictable
voltage regulation anomalies.
PCI Cage
The PCI (Peripheral Connect Interface) cage is located on the left side of the system board,
behind the CD ROM and hard disk drive bays. There are three PCI-4X, 64 bit, 3.3v, 66
MHz slots which provide I/O expansion capabilities for the workstation. There are no
primary and secondary card slots.
CD ROM and Hard Disk Drive Bays
The J6700 supports two Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI hard disk drives (one
standard and one optional) and one optional ATAPI slim-line CD ROM drive. The internal
SCSI Bus is independent of the external SCSI Bus.
The hard disk drives are hot-pluggable. More information on this was provided earlier in
this chapter in the Hard Disk Drive section.
Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs)
NOTEThese VRMs are designed to function ONLY with the J6700 power supply.
The output is 2VDC. The maximum current is 52A.

Internal Storage Devices
Hard Disk Drive Configuration
The SCSI IDs for hard disk drives are hard-wired into the SCA Ultra2 Wide LVD SCSI
interfaces in the backplane of the two disk bays within the J6700 workstations. Hence,
SCSI IDs do not need to be set for the hard disk drives installed in these workstations.
From top to bottom, the pre-set SCSI IDs for hard disk drives are: 6 and 5.
Similarly, no jumpers are installed at the factory, nor is any jumper installation required
at the customer’s site, on either of the hard disk drive models that are supported with the
J6700 workstations. Both hard disk drive models may be installed as is into these
workstations.

Memory
There is a label on the inside cover of the workstation which shows the J6700’s memory
loading sequence.
J6700 Memory Configuration
The J6700 workstation has sixteen memory slots, labeled 0A, 0B to 7A, 7B. Memory
DIMMs must be installed in pairs in this workstation, and both DIMMs in each pair must
be of equal size. The DIMMs for this workstation currently come in 512 MB and 1 GB
sizes. This workstation comes with two 512 MB DIMMs as its standard configuration from
the factory. Thus, currently the minimum memory configuration for this workstation is
1GB, and the maximum is 16 GB.
DIMMs should be loaded in the order shown with 0A, 0B being the first pair of DIMMs
loaded, and 7A, 7B being the last pair loaded. Figure 2-1 shows the installation sequence.
NOTEIf memory is installed improperly or it is bad and fastboot is not enabled, your
workstation’s operating system will not boot-up and a DIMM error will
appear in your workstation’s LCD. For more information see the section
“Displaying and Setting Fastboot Mode” in Chapter 5.

Introduction to Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot HP VISUALIZE J6700 workstations, you must be familiar with the
HP-UX operating system and be able to start and stop processes. You should also be
familiar with the boot ROM diagnostics, ISL diagnostics, and the Support Tools Manager
online tests, which are described in this chapter.
First note any error or status messages, and then run the power-up boot ROM diagnostics,
known as Selftest. If the Selftest diagnostics fail, replace the FRU that is indicated. If the
tests pass but you still suspect a problem, run the ISL diagnostics and the Support Tools
Manager online tests.
For a complete description of using ISL diagnostics and using the Support Tools Manager,
see the Support Media User’s Manual (Part Number B3782-90176).
Flowcharts for Troubleshooting
The following four figures contain troubleshooting flowcharts you can follow to isolate a
failing Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Figure 3-1 on the next page contains the main
troubleshooting flowchart. Figures 3-2 through 3-4 on the following pages contain the
flowcharts for console, bootable device, and HP-UX troubleshooting, respectively.
This section contains information for searching for bootable media, stable storage, boot
command notations, supported boot paths and the Intermediate System Loader (ISL)
environment. Some of the examples in this section require the use of the Boot Console
Handler, which is discussed in Chapter 5 of this handbook.
Special Considerations
When dealing with boot failures, you will need to consider the scenarios in this section.
• To boot from a known device containing a bootable operating system, type the following
at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot
where
device
is the hardware path to the device, specified in Mnemonic Style
device
[Enter]
Notation.
Example: to boot an operating system stored on an IDE CD ROM, go to the Main Menu
of the Boot Console Handler and then type the following command at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot ide [Enter]
The operating system on the specified device is used to start the workstation.
• To interact with the Initial System Loader (ISL) before booting the workstation, type
the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot
device
[Enter]
You are prompted: Interact with ISL (Y or N) > y [Enter]
Answering yes (y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specified device. After a short
time, the following prompt appears on the screen:
ISL>
ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By
interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX
operating system.
For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix) on the root disk has become
corrupted, boot the workstation from the backup kernel (/stand/vmunix.prev)by
typing the following at the ISL> prompt:
ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix.prev [Enter]
• To find the location of the bootable operating systems on the various media in the file
system, use the searchiplcommand. See the next subsection, “Searching for
Bootable Media.”
Chapter 341
Troubleshooting
Dealing with a Boot Failure
Searching for Bootable Media
To list all devices that contain bootable media, go to the Main Menu of the Boot Console
Handler, and then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > search ipl [Enter]
The search command searches all buses. The search may turn up more devices than there
are lines on the display. If you are using a text terminal, you can control the progress of the
search from the terminal’s keyboard by doing any of the following:
• To temporarily suspend the search, press [Ctrl]-[S].
• To continue the search, press [Ctrl]-[Q].
• To halt the search, press any other key.
These flow-control commands do not work with a bitmapped display, but such a display can
show more than forty lines of text, so you are unlikely to need them.
To search for devices of just one type that actually contain bootable media, go to the Main
Menu of the Boot Console Handler, and then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > search ipl
where
device_type
is one of the following:
device_type
[Enter]
• fwscsi is the internal, Ultra2 Wide LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI bus.
• scsi is the external SE/LVD SCSI bus.
• lan is all connections to the built-in LAN.
• ide is the built-in CD ROM drive.
n
• pci
is an optional SCSI interface in slot numbern.
Stable Storage
Stable Storage is non-volatile memory associated with the PA-RISC processor module.
Stable Storage is used by the processor (CPU) to store device path information, the state of
the boot flags, HPMC error information, and operating system initialization data.
Boot Command Notations
The boot command supports the following two notations:
• Mnemonic
• Path number
Type help scsi or help lan for more information on the boot path parameters.
Here are examples of mnemonic notation:
• boot with no parameters selects the primary boot path in stable storage.
• boot with the alternate or alt parameter selects the alternate boot path in stable
storage.
42Chapter3
Troubleshooting
Dealing with a Boot Failure
Here is an example of path number notation:
• bootp1[Enter] attempts to boot from the second path in a list generated by a
previous search command.
Supported Boot Paths
SCSI devices are bootable when connected to any SCSI port on the system. Workstations
can only boot from the built-in LAN port. The workstation can be booted from the CD ROM
drive for software installation.
Intermediate System Loader (ISL) Environment
The ISL environment provides the means to load the operating system (HP-UX)
environment. The ISL environment also provides an offline platform to execute diagnostic
and utility programs from a boot device when HP-UX does not load.
The ISL program is the first program loaded into main memory from an external media
(LAN, disk, or tape) and launched by the initial program loader (IPL) routine during the
Boot Administration environment.
The ISL environment provides the following capabilities:
• Execute user-entered commands to modify boot device paths and boot options in stable
storage.
• Run off-line diagnostic programs and utilities.
• Provide automatic booting of the HP-UX operating system after power-on or reset.

Troubleshooting
Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions
Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions
This workstation uses a 2-line LCD, with up to 16-characters per line, to display
firmware/operating system progress codes. These codes are referred to as chassis codes.
The information displayed on the LCD has the following format:
XXX YYYY: ZZZZZZ(Line 1)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA(Line 2)
Where:
XXXThree-character Operating Status
YYYYFour-digit hex code identifying the code module being executed
ZZZZZZSix-digit FRU descriptor
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADiagnostic message of up to 16 characters
The 3-character operating status can be one of the following:
FLT (fault)
TST (test)
INI (initialize)
SHU (shutdown)
WRN (warning)
RUN (running)
A hardware error has been detected
Hardware being tested
Hardware being initialized
System being shutdown
A non-optimal operating condition exists
The operating system is running
Selftest Failures
Chassis codes are the key to debugging selftest errors. If a failure is found during selftest,
chassis codes are displayed in the system LCD. To debug a failure:
1. In Table 3-1 starting on the next page, find the chassis code listed on the LCD.
2. In the Boot Console Handler, use the Service Menu’s pim, pdt, and ChassisCodes
commands to get additional information about the failure.
The FRU column in Table 3-1 shows messages printed on the LCD that refer to system
FRUs. All codes are listed in numeric order.
44Chapter3
Troubleshooting
Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions
Memory Failures
The J6700 workstations require special Memory Page Deallocation to be implemented.
This feature allows the workstation to provide information to the operating system about
memory failures.
HP-UX uses this information to map out failing memory areas and continue normal
operation. You can check the Memory Page Deallocation Table (PDT) using the pdt
command in the Service menu of the Boot Console Handler (refer to Chapter 5). If a failing
DIMM is replaced, use the command pdt clear in the Service Menu to clear out the PDT.

Running System Verification Tests
Running System Verification Tests
HP-UX uses an online diagnostics product called the Support Tools Manager that allows
system operation verification.
Three interfaces are available with the Support Tools Manager: a command line interface
(accessed through the cstm command), a menu-driven interface (accessed through the
mstm command), and the graphical user interface (accessed through the xstm command).
For more information on these user interfaces, see the online man pages by entering the
following at a command line prompt:
man cstm [Enter]
man mstm [Enter]
man xstm [Enter]
For information on the enhanced online diagnostics, see the Support Media User’s Manual
(HP Part Number B3782-90176).
To access the Support Tools Manager, perform the following steps:
1. In a terminal window, type the following at the # prompt to invoke the command line
interface:
# cstm [Enter]
2. The following message appears:
Support Tool ManagerVersion A.01.00
Type ‘help’ for a list of available commands.

Running ODE-Based Diagnostics
Running ODE-Based Diagnostics
The Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) consists of diagnostic modules for testing and
verifying system operation. ODE provides all the necessary functions for the user to load
specified tests and interact with those tests.
ODE is an ISL utility. To boot ODE:
1. Invoke the ISL environment from the system disk or a CD ROM.
2. Type ode [Enter] after the ISL> prompt to invoke ODE from the LIF directory on
the system disk. The prompt changes to ODE>.
Not all of the test modules are available on all systems. To see what test modules are
available to run on this system, type ls at the ODE> prompt. The available modules include
the following:
• astrodiag – tests and verifies the basic functionality of the Astro memory
controller/I/O chip.
• siodiag – tests and verifies the basic functionality of the SuperI/O multifunction I/O
chip, including serial, parallel, USB, and so forth.
• wdiag – tests and verifies the functionality of the PA-RISC chip.
• memtest – tests and verifies the memory arrays. If an error is detected, the diagnostic
reports the memory card and its slot number that needs replacement. It also provides a
map of the memory configuration so that the user can identify the type of memory and
its slot location.
• fupdate – updates the system’s Processor Dependent Code (PDC) firmware in the
EEPROM.
• mapper – identifies the configuration of HPPA systems. It displays path, identification,
and revision information of I/O components, configuration of memory controllers,
processors, co-processors, cache, and TLB, as well as processor board component

Using the System Board LEDs for Troubleshooting
Using the System Board LEDs for Troubleshooting
This section provides a description of the system board’s Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
and how to use them for troubleshooting. These LEDs are located inside of the workstation
on the system board’s left-back edge. See Figure 3-5.. Note that you will have to view these
LEDs through the airflow holes on the back of your workstation.
NOTEThe SUPPLY LED is not currently implemented. Therefore, it does not
provide any troubleshooting information.
Figure 3-5. System Board LEDs
For those system problems that this section is not able to solve, you will have to call your
local HP Support Representative. Before you call, record the state (on, off or blinking) of
your LEDs and give this information to your local HP support representative. The
representative will use this information to determine the course of action to take.
Interpreting the LED Information
Table 3-2. explains how to interpret the information the system board LEDs provide. Note
that the SUPPLY LED is reserved for future functionality.

default state for this light is off.
There are six LED blink sequences supported by the System Controller. The LED blink
sequences are shown in Table 3-3. Note that each blink of the LED represents a tenth of a
second (0.1 sec.).
If the FANS LED is ever stuck either ON or OFF, a system problem has occurred. This
system problem is most likely an I2C bus hang. A potential fix may be to check that the
power supply cables are correctly plugged in. If this does not work, call you local HP
Support Representative.

FRU Removal and Replacement
FRU Removal and Replacement
The procedures in this section describe how to remove and replace J6700 workstation
FRUs. Observe the electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions and the prerequisites for
removing and replacing FRUs in the next two subsections, as well as any NOTEs,
CAUTIONs, and WARNINGs in each FRU removal and replacement procedure.
NOTEIf you need to install a new FRU, simply follow the procedures for replacing
the FRU in this chapter. (That is, replacement procedures are the same as
those for installing new FRUs.)
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
To prevent damage to the J6700 workstation, observe all of the following ESD precautions
while performing FRU removal and replacement procedures:
1. Remove all ESD-generating materials from the work area in which you will remove and
replace a workstation’s FRU(s).
2. Stand on an ESD (static-free) mat.
3. Wear a grounding wrist strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge
discharges from your body to ground.
4. Connect all equipment together, including the ESD mat, grounding wrist strap,
workstation, and peripherals.
5. Keep uninstalled printed circuit boards in their protective antistatic bags.
6. Once you have removed printed circuit boards from their protective antistatic bags,
handle the printed circuit boards by their edges only.
84Chapter4
Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)
FRU Removal and Replacement
Prerequisite Steps for All Removal and Replacement Procedures
You must complete the following steps before performing any of the FRU removal and
replacement procedures in this chapter:
1. Power off the workstation (either by executing shutdown -h as root, or by simply
pressing the power switch on the front panel of the workstation, which accomplishes
the same thing), as well as the monitor and any attached peripheral devices.
2. Unplug the workstation power cord and all peripheral devices from AC power outlets.
3. Attach the static-grounding wrist strap by following the instructions on the package.
Attach the sticky end of the wrist strap to bare metal on the rear panel of the

NOTETo make access to the internal FRUs easier, you may want to place the
workstation on a table or workbench instead of leaving it on the floor.
CAUTIONThis workstation is designated for two-person lifting; it weighs approximately
36 to 49 pounds (12 to 22 kg), depending on the configuration. Do not attempt
to lift it by yourself, or injury may result.

Front Bezel and Top Cover
This section describes how to remove and replace the J6700 workstation’s front bezel and
top cover.
Note that you can perform certain operations, like removing and replacing hard disk
drives, simply removing the front bezel of the workstation. Other operations require more
access to the interior of the workstation, so you will need to remove the front bezel or top
panel to perform those procedures.
CAUTIONThe system will not operate with the top panel removed.
