Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions

Electrostatic discharges (static electricity) can damage the integrated circuits on printed circuit boards and other internal devices. To prevent such damage from occurring, observe the following precautions during board unpacking and installation:

• Stand on a static-free mat.

• Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is discharged from your body to ground.

• Connect all equipment together, including the static-free mat, static strap, routing nodes, and peripheral units.

• Keep uninstalled printed circuit boards in their protective antistatic bags.

• Handle printed circuit boards by their edges, once you have removed them from their protective antistatic bags.

1 System Overview

This chapter introduces the HP VISUALIZE J5000 and J7000 computers. Its purpose is to familiarize you with your computer and its controls and indicators.

System Overview

System Requirements

The HP VISUALIZE J5000 and J7000 computers are similar in may ways, but the main way in which they differ is the number of processors: the J5000 has two, and the J7000 has four. In addition to the label on the front of the machine, you can also determine which machine you have by counting the processors on the motherboard. Each one is cooled by a cylindrical heat sink (a “turbocooler”) with dozens of airﬂow slots and an integrated fan. The illustration below shows the two turbocoolers (and hence two processors) of the J5000’s motherboard; the J7000 has four:

J5000

Instructions in this chapter assume that you are using the HP-UX 10.20 operating system with the Workstation Additional Core Enhancements for HP-UX 10.20 (June1999). The J5000 requires just these two software components; the J7000 may require an additional software component, to be shipped when the J7000 itself is shipped.

drives and CD-ROM drives. Consult the documentation that accompanies each SCSI device for speciﬁc information concerning its use. Refer to the appendix “SCSI Connections” for information about connecting SCSI devices to your computer.

WARNING Do not attach FWD SCSI devices to the LVD SCSI port, or

damage will occur.

NOTE When attaching external SCSI devices, be sure to terminate the last

device on each external SCSI bus. The terminators are included in a small plastic bag that was shipped with your machine. Before powering up your computer, make sure that the last external SCSI device in each SCSI chain has a terminator.

If you have no external SCSI devices, install the terminators directory on the connectors on the rear panel of the computer.

Power Cord Connectors

Plug the workstation’s power cord into the power cord connector to provide AC power to the system. Note that the HP VISUALIZE J5000 and J7000 have different types of power cords, because of their differing power requirements:

Figure 1-6 Power Connectors

The power connector on the left is used on the J5000 (notice that it is a keyed connector, requiring a 15-amp circuit), and the one on the right is used on the J7000 because of its greater power demand (20 amps).

Chapter 1 29

System Overview

Keyboard and Mouse

At this printing, only the HP three-button USB mouse is supported as a pointing device for the J5000 and J7000.

For general information on using three-button mice and on the various cursor shapes associated with different areas of HP CDE while using a mouse or other pointing device, see Using Your HP Workstation. Other supported USB devices are the HP USB keyboard and HP USB hub. Since the only USB devices supported at this time are keyboards and mice, the USB hub’s main purpose is currently that of an “extension cord” to allow a greater distance between the keyboard/mouse and the computer.

The mouse and keyboard can be plugged into either USB port on the back of the computer.

System Overview

Operating System Overview

Your computer uses version 10.20 of the HP-UX operating system with the June 1999 Workstation ACE (Addition Core Enhancements). Instant Ignition systems (systems with preloaded software) have X-Windowsand Hewlett-Packard’s graphical user interface HP CDE installed and conﬁgured (see the HP CDE Getting Started Guide and User’s Guide for details).

Please refer to the “Instant Ignition System Conﬁguration Information” sheet that came with your system for details on conﬁguration.

If your Instant Ignition system does not have the kernel preconﬁgured with all of the device drivers, you need to refer to the manual Managing Systems and Workgroups to conﬁgure your kernel as appropriate for your set of hardware and peripheral devices.

If you have any questions about Instant Ignition, refer to HP-UX System Administration Tasks for more information.

Chapter 1 31

System Overview

Powering Up Your System

After you have connected the various parts of the computer—for details, see the J5000/J7000 Installation Sheet that came with your computer— you are ready to power up the system. At this point, there are two possibilities:

• Your computer has been “ignited;” that is, the HP’s Instant Ignition process has installed the operating system already. In this case, when you power up the computer, you will be presented with a series of questions asking you the machine’s hostname, IP address, subnet mask, and other basic conﬁguration questions (see next page for details). When these are answered, the CDE login screen will appear.

• Your computer has not been “ignited;” that is, the HP’s Instant Ignition process has not installed the operating system already. In this case, you will need to install the operating system from the CDs found in the HP-UX 10.20 Software for Workstations ACE (June

1999) media kit; for details, see the CD Booklet included with the CDs. The ACE bundles reside on the IPR media, and are also available from http://www.software.hp.com/ACE. When the operation system (HP-UX 10.20) and the HP-UX 10.20 ACE (June

1998) are both installed, you’ll need to answer the questions noted above for the ignited system. After the questions have been answered, the CDE login screen will appear.

Once the CDE login screen appears, and you can log in as root—initially, there is no password. When you have logged in, you will be able to create other users’ accounts and do whatever other conﬁguration and installations you require to get the machine into its desired state. Use the Help facility of SAM (the System Administration Manager) or see the HP CDE Getting Started Guide and User’s Guide for instructions on typical tasks.

Getting Required Information

The start-up procedure for your workstation will require you to supply the following information. Please have this information available before you turn the workstation on for the ﬁrst time.

NOTE If you are not the system administrator for your workstation, and

therefore do not know the information, ask your system administrator.

Here is the information you will need. You may want to ﬁll in the blanks so the answers will be readily available during the conﬁguration phase.

• Host name: ___________________________________ The host name is sometimes called the “system name.”

• IP (Internet Protocol) address: _______________________________ You will need this address if you are connecting the workstation to a local area network.

• Time zone: _________________ This is the time zone in which the workstation is located.

• Optional networking parameters Ask your system administrator if you need to conﬁgure these parameters.

Powering Up Your System

Turning on the Power

1. Turn on the monitor and any external peripherals (for example, printers) connected to the workstation.

2. Turn on the workstation. The workstation will run a series of self-tests.

3. After two or three minutes, a series of messages are displayed as various hardware and software subsystems are activated. Unless something is wrong with your system, you are not asked to respond to these messages.

4. A series of windows appears requesting the information you gathered in the previous section, such as your host name, IP address, and time zone. Enter the information as it is requested.

NOTE You should enter the host name when requested; otherwise, you will get

an error message when you log in. If you do not have other pieces of information, press Enter to use the

default value. You can provide missing information later by logging into a terminal emulator window as superuser and executing this command:

/sbin/set_parms

5. The next question asks if you want to set a root password. The root password is the password used for the account of the “superuser”—a special user who has permission to perform all system administration tasks. The username for the superuser is root.

6. When you have ﬁnished answering all of the questions, the workstation completes its start-up sequence and displays the CDE login screen.

7. Log into your ﬁrst CDE session as root. For information on logging into CDE, see the Common Desktop Environment User’s Guide.

Chapter 1 35

System Overview

Powering Up Your System

NOTE You must log into the ﬁrst session as root. This is because the system

contains no other user accounts. Once you are done with system conﬁguration, including the creation of other users’ accounts via SAM (the System Administration Manager), you should log out as superuser and log back in as one of the other users.

Documentation

The documentation for your system is located on the Instant Information CD. To access this CD, you need to follow the special mounting instructions that come with it.

36 Chapter1

Monitors

You can use one of the following HP monitors with your computer:

• 19-inch, 1280×1024 color monitor (A4575A)

• 19-inch, 1600×1200 color monitor (A4575A)

• 21-inch, 1280×1024 color monitor (A4576A)

• 21-inch, 1600×1200 color monitor (A4576A)

Before using your monitor, you should become familiar with its controls, connectors and indicators. For information on these controls and indicators and on using your monitor, see the documentation that came with the monitor. To conﬁrm your graphics conﬁguration, use SAM (the System Administration Manager) as follows.

As root, run /usr/sbin/sam, and the following splash screen appears to indicate that SAM is running:

2 Changing Your Computer’s

Hardware Conﬁguration

This chapter describes the procedures required to change your computer’s hardware conﬁguration.

Changing Your Computer’s Hardware Conﬁguration

The instructions in this chapter assume you are using the HP-UX 10.20 operating system with the Workstation Additional Core Enhancements for HP-UX 10.20 (June 1999) and the HP CDE interface.

CAUTION When installing internal devices, always wear a properly grounded wrist

strap to avoid damaging components with electrostatic discharge (static electricity).

Use the following tools to remove or replace hardware parts when changing your conﬁguration:

• Light-duty ﬂat blade screwdriver with a 150mm (6-inch) blade

• Number 1 Posidriv driver

• T10, T15 and T20 Torx drivers

• Needle-nosed pliers Also, read the ESD Precautions elsewhere in this guide.

NOTE Many of the HP-UX commands in this chapter will require that you

become superuser (root). If you cannot log in as root, contact your system administrator.

To make access to the internal components easier, you may want to place the computer on a table or workbench instead of leaving it on the ﬂoor.

CAUTION This computer is designated for two-man lifting; it weighs approximately

90 pounds. Do not attempt to lift it by yourself, or injury may result.

42 Chapter2

Changing Your Computer’s Hardware Conﬁguration

Opening the System Unit

Some hardware-conﬁguration operations, like installing and removing hard disk drives, can be done simply by opening the door on the front of the unit; the disk drives are accessible through the open door. Other operations require a bit more access to the interior of the computer, so more panels will need to be removed. Such operations include the installation and removal of the following devices (along with a list of which panels will need to be removed):

• CD drive (front panel, top cover)

• DDS drive (front panel, top cover)

• Floppy drive (front panel, top cover)

• Memory (top cover, left side)

• I/O cards (top cover, right side)

Before opening the front, top, left, or right panels of the unit, make sure that the system is powered down and unplugged. Note: do not remove

the rear thumbscrews before powering down the unit, or the system power will be interrupted due to the interlock.

1. Power off the system (either by executing shutdown -h as root and then turning off the power, or by simply hitting the power switch, which accomplishes the same thing), the monitor, and any peripheral devices.

2. Unplug the power cord of the system unit and any peripheral devices from AC wall 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 back panel of the system unit.

CAUTION Do not attempt to operate the computer with any of the front, top, or side

covers removed. In addition to maintaining FCC/EMI compliance, the covers are needed to ensure proper airﬂow, and hence, sufﬁcient system cooling. Operating the unit without its covers in place may void the warranty.

Chapter 2 43

Changing Your Computer’s Hardware Conﬁguration

Opening the System Unit

Removing the Front Panel

The front panel must be removed in order to install a CD drive, a DDS tape drive, or a ﬂoppy drive—see their respective sections later in this chapter for detailed instructions on the installation process for each type of device. If you need to remove the front panel (the panel that contains the door), perform the following steps:

1. Shut down and unplug the system as described above. Unlock the door on the front of the unit, if necessary, and swing it open.

2. Remove the two panel-detach screws on the right edge of the panel, visible after you open the door.

3. Swing (clockwise) the entire front panel open 45 to 90 degrees—the hinges are on the left, as you look at the front of the unit.

4. Once you have swung the panel open on the hinges on the left, pull it straight out to remove it.

Figure 2-1 Removing the Front Panel

To replace the front panel, perform the above steps in the reverse order.

Opening the Top Cover

To open the top cover of the unit—to install or remove a removable-media drive (i.e., a CD drive, a DDS tape drive, or a ﬂoppy drive), DIMMs, or I/O cards, for example, or for other access to the inside of the unit—follow these steps:

1. Shut down and unplug the system as described in “Opening the System Unit” on page 43.

2. Remove the two thumbscrews in the top corners of the back panel. The upper-left one (when looking at the back of the unit) has a power-supply interlock, and removing the screw disengages the power to the unit, reducing shock hazard during the conﬁguration process. Note that cutting off power via the power-supply interlock does not do a clean shutdown like pressing the power switch does.

Figure 2-3 Removing the Thumbscrews

Thumbscrew (with power-supply interlock)

Figure 2-4 Removing the Top and Side Panels

Opening the System Unit

Removing the Left and/or Right Panels

In order to remove the left and/or right panels, you must ﬁrst remove the top panel, as described above. Then, the left and right panels are free to tip out and away from the unit. The side panels stay in place after the top panel is removed because of three locations on the friction-ﬁt tab running along the top edge of the side panels. After the desired side panel has been tipped out and away from the chassis, as shown in the illustration above, it can be lifted straight up.

The left panel (which on the right in the illustration above, since you are looking at the back of the machine) must be removed to install or remove memory (DIMMs), and the right panel (which on the left in the illustration above, since you are looking at the back of the machine) must be removed to install or remove I/O cards.

Chapter 2 47

Changing Your Computer’s Hardware Conﬁguration

Opening the System Unit

Reinstalling the Cover Panels

To replace the cover panels once you’ve taken them off, perform the following steps:

1. Place the left- and right-side panels into their grooves in the bottom edges of the left and right sides of the chassis, and then press the tops of the side panels together ﬁrmly.

2. Place the top cover on the top of the chassis, about an inch of its back edge protruding over the rear panel. Then, push it straight forward, so its front edge slides underneath the lip of the front panel’s top edge. The top panel ﬁts snugly, so you may have to get a ﬁrm grip on it in order to slide it forward.

3. Reinsert the two thumbscrews into the tabs in the upper corners of the back panel of the chassis. Note that the upper left one (as looking at the rear panel) is the power supply interlock screw, so make sure it is tightened snugly, or the power supply may not engage.

48 Chapter2

Changing Your Computer’s Hardware Conﬁguration

Installing Memory

This section contains information regarding the installation of additional memory. However, before continuing with this section, please take time to read the following list of considerations:

• Use the procedure described in the chapter “The Boot Console Interface” to determine the current memory conﬁguration for your computer. This should be done before trying to install additional DIMMs (Dual Inline Memory Modules) into your computer.

• Familiarize yourself with the order in which DIMMs must be inserted; the order differs, depending on whether you have a J5000 (eight memory slots) or a J7000 (sixteen memory slots). This information is on a label on the ﬂoor of the left side of the J5000, and on the main air guide in the J7000. The labels look like this:

Figure 2-5 DIMM-Insertion Order for J5000 and J7000

Installing Memory

• For the J5000—the two-processor model—insert the DIMMs in the sequence indicated in the left illustration above (or on the label inside the left side of the machine). For the J7000—the four-processor model—insert the DIMMs in pairs of equal memory size, and in the

Chapter 2 49

Changing Your Computer’s Hardware Conﬁguration

Installing Memory

order indicated in the right illustration above (or on the label on the air guide). For details on the mechanics of inserting DIMMs, see the following pages.

• When you have ﬁnished installing the additional DIMMs, use the Boot Console Interface to verify that the computer recognizes them.

Installing DIMMs

Perform the following steps to add DIMMs to your computer.

1. Open the system unit according to the directions in “Opening the System Unit” on page 43. You’ll need to remove the top panel and the left side panel (looking from the front). Here is roughly what the inside of a J5000 looks like: the DIMMs are accessible as soon as you remove the side panel:

Figure 2-6 The J5000 DIMM Slots (as seen from the open left side)

DIMM Slots

The J7000, on the other hand, requires one additional step before the DIMMs are accessible. Because it has twice the number of processors as the J5000, the J7000 requires greater cooling capacity to prevent components from overheating. This is effected, in part, by two sheet-metal air guides that channel the airﬂow directly at the processors’ turbocoolers. One of these air guides, in addition to channeling the airﬂow to the processors, also hides the DIMM slots,

50 Chapter2

2. Install DIMMs in the order indicated in Figure 2-5 on page 49, or on the label on the ﬂoor of the chassis (the J7000 requires DIMMs to be installed in pairs of the same size). Make sure the DIMM-removal tabs are angled out—away from each other. The DIMMs are keyed; that is, there are notches in the edge (see Figure 2-10, below) that prevent the DIMM from being inserted upside down. Once the DIMM is oriented correctly (the notches in the DIMM lining up with the bumps in the slot), press ﬁrmly and evenly on each DIMM to ensure that it seats properly; the DIMM-removal tabs will rotate to become parallel as the DIMM is inserted:

Installing a PCI-Type I/O Board

The J5000/J7000 are extensible by means of I/O cards thatoffer a variety of functionalities, and the kind of I/O cards supported are called PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) cards. PCI cards can be 3.3-volt or 5-volt cards (or both; these are called “universal” cards), and they can also be 32-bit or 64-bit cards, and 33MHz or 66MHz.

The graphics boards supported by the J5000/J7000 computers are the HP VISUALIZE-FX2Pro and the HP VISUALIZE-FX6Pro. While these are

universal cards and will work in any slot, they should be used in slots 4 or 7 to obtain optimal performance.

Your J5000/J7000 computer’s PCI assembly has eight 64-bit slots in the following arrangement (this information is also on the label on the ﬂoor of the right side of the chassis):

Figure 2-11 The PCI Slot Label

Changing Your Computer’s Hardware Conﬁguration

Installing a PCI-Type I/O Board

As the illustration above indicates, graphics cards should be inserted into the 66MHz slots in order to deliver maximum performance. Use Slot 7 ﬁrst, and then Slot 4. Once Slots 7 and 4 are used, graphics cards can be added to any slot that physically has room, except Slot 1. Slot1isa

power-only slot; that is, it doesn’t offer data communication to the card inserted there. In other words, a two-board sandwich—main card in Slot

Chapter 2 55

Changing Your Computer’s Hardware Conﬁguration

Installing a PCI-Type I/O Board

2, drawing power and sending/receiving data, and daughter board in Slot 1, drawing only power—is supported. On the other hand, a standalone card that draws power and sends/receives data would be supported in Slot 2 but not Slot 1. Note that a two-card sandwich “in” Slot 7 means that the bottom card is in Slot 7, and top card is in Slot 6.

For non-graphics cards, insert them in this order: Slot 2, then 8, 3, 5, and ﬁnally 6. If Slots 7 and 4 are not needed for graphics cards, they can be used for very-high-bandwidth general I/O.

CAUTION The J5000 and J7000 supply approximately 264 watts of power to the

PCI slots. Thus, if you use three HP VISUALIZE-FX6Pro cards simultaneously (in Slots 7, 4, and 2), as in the HP VISUALIZE Center conﬁguration, there are some power constraints imposed on the

remaining slots. Each HP VISUALIZE-FX6Pro card, while electrically connected to only one slot, takes the physical space of two, and each card

draws about 78 watts. So, three FX6Pro cards will occupy six of the eight PCI slots and will draw 234 watts altogether, leaving only about 30 watts for the remaining two slots combined, should you choose to use them. Do not insert PCI cards that together draw more than 264 watts, or damage to your computer may result.

PCI card edge connectors have one or two small notches in them (see illustration below). The 3.3-volt notch indicates that the card can operate properly on 3.3 volts, and the 5-volt notch indicates that the card can operate properly on 5 volts. As you might expect, notches in both locations indicates that the card is a universal PCI card; that is, it will operate properly on either voltage.

Follow these steps to install a PCI board into your computer:

1. Remove the top and right-side panels from your computer, as described in the section “Opening the System Unit,” earlier in this chapter.

2. Remove the PCI card retaining clip—the instructions for doing so are on the label on the side of the power supply, right above the PCI slots. This is a simple snap-on clip; no tools are required to remove it or install it again. (Note: during re-installation of the retaining clip, make sure the hook on the bottom of the clip ﬁts into the hole on the ﬂoor of the chassis.)

3. Determine the appropriate slot(s) for the card you are inserting. Relevant information includes the voltage (3.3 or 5 volts) and the speed (33 or 66 MHz). Again, when multi-card sets are inserted, it’s the bottom card that goes into the indicated slot. Thus, to insert a

VISUALIZE FX6card (a two-card sandwich) “into” Slot 7, you’d put the bottom card into Slot 7, and the top card into Slot 6.

Chapter 2 57

Installing a PCI-Type I/O Board

4. Remove the screw that secures the ﬁller plate corresponding to the slot into which you are installing the PCI card, and then remove the ﬁller plate itself, saving it for future use. The ﬁller plate must be removed in order for the PCI card’s connectors to be accessible from outside the chassis.

5. Place the PCI board you are installing in the board guides and insert ﬁrmly into the connector. You may have to push hard to seat the board, but do not rock it from side to side during insertion, as this can damage the connectors.Check to see that the board is evenly inserted for proper seating.

6. Secure the board with the same screw that secured the ﬁller plate.

7. Replace the PCI retainer clip to keep the boards from ﬂexing or vibrating during normal computer operation. If necessary because of the width of the card, remove the black plastic extenders that are attached to the retainer clip before attempting to replace it.

8. Replace the computer’s side panel and top cover, and replace the thumbscrews that secure the top panel onto the computer.

9. After bootup, use SAM (the System Administration Manager) to conﬁrm that the computer recognizes the card. See the “Monitors” section of the Overview chapter for an example of doing this for a graphics card.

Changing Your Computer’s Hardware Conﬁguration

Changing Your Monitor Type

Your system ships from the factory preset to use a monitor with a speciﬁc resolution and frequency. If you replace you monitor with a different type, you must reconﬁgure your computer to support it.

There are two ways to conﬁgure your computer to support a different monitor type. They are discussed in the subsequent sections.

Setting the Monitor Type at Power-On

If you replace your computer monitor with a different type of monitor, and you have not set the computer’s graphics parameters by using the Boot Console Interface’s monitor command, you can still conﬁgure your computer’s new monitor type when you reboot the system.

To set the monitor type, do the following:

1. Press the Tab key after your keyboard’s lights ﬂash during the boot process to initiate the automatic monitor selection process. Your system will query you for a new monitor type.

2. Select one of the monitor types listed on the screen and press Enter.

3. Answer yes (by pressing Y), to the system query to conﬁrm your selection. Note that if you do not make a selection, the system cycles through the possible monitor types continuously until you do make your selection.

Setting the Monitor Type from the Boot Console Interface

To change your computer’s graphics parameters before you replace your monitor, go to the section “Displaying and Setting the Monitor Type” in the Boot Console Interface chapter.

To see how to examine and set your monitor’s attributes, see the “Monitor” section in the Overview chapter.

4. Unpack the CD drive, avoiding shocks both mechanical and electrical. That is, never let it drop onto the ﬂoor or even onto a desk; always set it down gently. And take ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions, so static-electric sparks do not damage the electronic components.

CAUTION A drop of just a few inches onto a hard surface such as a desk or the ﬂoor

can generate large accelerations (hundreds of gees), which may damage the device.

5. Install the CD drive into the bracket: the drive itself must be inserted into the CD drive bracket as shown below, and secured by four Torx T-10 screws (two on each side) driven into the holes indicated by the dashed lines. These screws ship with the ﬁller.

DDS Drive Installation

NOTE Before opening the system unit to install a DDS drive, determine the

SCSI IDs currently in use on your computer, so as to avoid SCSI ID conﬂicts.

To install a DDS drive, follow the steps below:

1. Using standard static-suppression practices (described in the Preface of this document), remove the computer’s front panel, as described in “Removing the Front Panel” on page 44, and top cover, as described in “Opening the Top Cover” on page 46. Then remove the DDS-drive bay’s EMI (electromagnetic interference) cover—the thin metal cover that is snapped in place above the DDS drive bay.

2. Remove the DDS/ﬂoppy drive bracket from the main chassis. The bracket is referred to as the “DDS/ﬂoppy drive bracket” because the same bracket can house either a DDS drive or a ﬂoppy drive (but not both simultaneously).

Interchangeable hard disk drives

The above illustration shows that the four hard disk drives are accessible simply by opening the door on the front panel (also known as the “bezel,” pronounced “bezz-ull”); it is unnecessary to remove the entire panel. From a hardware point of view, these four disk drives are interchangeable: one drive will work as well as any other in any given slot. And, you need not set the SCSI bus addresses for these drives: their

74 Chapter3

Hot-Pluggable Hard Disk Drives

positions in the slots, not switches on the drives themselves, deﬁne the SCSI address for each drive. These addresses are labelled on the chassis. Finally, these hard drives are hot-pluggable: that is, you do not need to power down the entire machine to remove or insert a hard disk drive.

CAUTION However, from a software point of view, there are two restrictions on the

interchangeability of these drives:

• The boot device—that disk drive that contains the operating system—must be in drive bay 6, the uppermost bay.

• The boot device must not be removed while the system is running.

For details, see the section “The Hot-Plug Process” later in this chapter.

Chapter 3 75

Hot-Pluggable Hard Disk Drives

The Disk Drives

Removing a Hard Disk Drive

The instructions for removing a disk drive from the J5000/J7000 are printed on the front panel, and are visible when the panel door is opened, as shown in the detail below.

CAUTION If you are removing a hard disk drive while the system is running, you

must perform the operations outlined in “The Hot-Plug Procedure” on page 83 before the physical removal of the drive, or data corruption is likely to occur.

Figure 3-2 Removing a Hard Disk Drive

The instructions are also printed here for your convenience:

1. Identify the drive to be removed, and make sure it is not currently in use. If the machine is to remain powered up, see the section “The Hot-Plug Procedure” on page 83 for the proper preparations.

2. Push the plastic retaining tab to the right, to release the drive-tray’s handle. Pull the handle on the drive to unseat it from its power and data connections.

76 Chapter3

Hot-Pluggable Hard Disk Drives

The Disk Drives

3. Wait about 30 seconds for the drive to spin down (handling of a disk drive while it is still spinning can cause disk damage and/or loss of data).

4. Carefully pull the drive straight out.

If you also need to remove the disk drive from the disk-drive tray—to replace a faulty drive, for example—remove the four screws that secure the drive to the tray. These screws go through rubber grommets; leave the grommets in place as you remove the screws.

Putting a Disk Drive into its Tray

When you receive and unpack a new disk drive, it will not include the tray that is needed in order to insert it into your J5000/J7000 computer; these trays are already in your computer’s disk-drive bays. You will need to assemble the disk drive into its tray before you can slide the disk drive and tray assembly into the computer and expect its connections to be made correctly.

1. Unpack the new disk drive, avoiding both mechanical and electrical shocks; never let it drop onto the ﬂoor or onto a desk—always set it down gently—and observe ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions, as described in the Preface of this document.

CAUTION A drop of just a few inches onto a hard surface such as a desk or the ﬂoor

can generate large accelerations (hundreds of gees), which may damage the device.

2. Unlock (if necessary) and open the door on the front of the computer. Remove the disk-drive tray from the slot into which you will insert the new drive. To remove the disk-drive tray, release the hook that locks the drive tray’s release lever into place (see Figure 3-3, below), and pull the release lever toward you. The tray will come out.

3. If a disk drive was already in the tray (for example,if you’re replacing a faulty drive), remove the four screws securing the drive to the tray, and pull the drive straight up out of the tray. If the tray never had a

Chapter 3 77

Hot-Pluggable Hard Disk Drives

drive in it, the four screws required to secure the drive to the tray are stored in two tabs on the tray (see illustration below). Remove these four screws from the storage tabs.

Figure 3-3 Installing a Hard Disk Drive into its Tray

Screw-storage tab

4. Insert these four screws through the rubber grommets and into the corresponding holes in the disk drive, and tighten them with a T15 Torx driver. There are four rubber grommets, although only two are visible in the illustration above.

NOTE Do not remove the grommets; if they are removed, the drive would not be

held securely in the tray and may be damaged as a result.

Once the disk drive is installed into the drive tray, the assembly can be inserted into the desired hard-drive slot.

78 Chapter3

Hot-Pluggable Hard Disk Drives

The Disk Drives

Inserting a Disk Drive

To insert a drive, the procedure is virtually identical to the “removing” steps above, except in the reverse order:

1. Carefully push the drive, which is already in its tray, straight into the desired slot, making sure the drive-tray’s handle is pulled away from the front surface of the tray.

2. When the drive-tray’s handle can engage the hooks on the left edge of the slot, push the right end of the handle ﬂush to the front of the drive; this will seat the drive into its power and data connections. When the handle gets ﬂush to the front of the tray, it should engage the retaining tab with a noticeable click.

NOTE The drive tray will not go all the way into the slot if the handle has

already been folded ﬂat against the front of the tray. Push the drive tray into the slot ﬁrmly, and then push the handle ﬂat against the front of the tray.

Chapter 3 79

Hot-Pluggable Hard Disk Drives

The Hot-Plug Process

The physical aspect of inserting and removing a disk drive, as discussed in the previous section, is straightforward. 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 drives in the J5000 and J7000 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 reason the hot-plug process exists is that you might need to replace a defective disk drive in a high-availability 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 messages 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 vgdisplay, vgchange, lvreduce, vgcfgrestore, lvlnboot, lvextend, 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 B2491A); for information on classes, see http://www.hp.com/education/courses/h6285s.html.

No graphical user interface is currently offered through the System Administration Manager (SAM) for doing the required LVM commands,

80 Chapter3

because manipulation of the LVM requires specialized knowledge that only experienced system administrators are expected to have (see below for details).

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 three disks, with the logical volume conﬁguration as shown:

Table 3-1 Example Conﬁguration

Chapter 3 81

Hot-Pluggable Hard Disk Drives

The Hot-Plug Process

The system problem for this example is that the disk at hardware address 10/0/14/0.0 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

3. The replacement disk must be the same product ID as the replaced one.

NOTE HP 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 manufacturers’ name, the disk’s volume group must be deactivated and reactivated. See the HP-UX System Administration Tasks manual for details.

82 Chapter3

Hot-Pluggable Hard Disk Drives

The Hot-Plug Process

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 -ey” would have printed the following message on the console:

WARNING: VGCHANGE:WARNING: COULDN’T ATTACH TO 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.

WARNING: VGDISPLAY: WARNING: COULDN’T QUERY PHYSICAL VOLUME

“/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.

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):

lvreduce -m 0 -A n 〈LV name〉 /dev/dsk/cXtXdX

(for 1-way mirroring)

lvreduce -m 1 -A n 〈LV name〉 /dev/dsk/cXtXdX

(for 2 way mirroring)

For our example:

lvreduce -m 0 -A n /dev/vg00/lvol4 /dev/dsk/c2t4d0 lvreduce -m 0 -A n /dev/vg00/lvol5 /dev/dsk/c2t4d0

Step 3

• Replace the faulty disk. Refer to the instructions earlier in this chapter for details on how to replace the 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 our example:

ioscan /dev/dsk/c2t4d

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/cxtxdx

where x is the logical unit number of the disk that has been replaced.

For our example:

vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg00 /dev/rdsk/c2t4d0

Step 5

• Attach the new disk to the active volume group with the vgchange command.

vgchange -a y 〈volume_group_name〉

For our example:

vgchange -a y /dev/vg00

84 Chapter3

Hot-Pluggable Hard Disk Drives

The Hot-Plug Process

Step 6

• If this disk is not a mirror of a root disk, then skip this step.

• Run the mkboot command. For our example:

mkboot /dev/rdsk/c2t4d0

• 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 lvextend to extend the mirrors back onto the replaced disk. This may take several minutes, as it will have to copy all the data from the original copy of the data to the mirrored extents. The logical volume(s) are still accessible to users’ applications during this command.

lvextend -m 1 〈LV name〉 /dev/dsk/cxtxdx

lvextend -m 2 〈LV name〉 /dev/dsk/cxtxdx (3-way mirroring)

For our example:

lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg02/vg02 /dev/dsk/c3t5d0 lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol4 /dev/dsk/c2t4d0 lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol5 /dev/dsk/c2t4d0

At this stage, your system should be fully functioning; use xstm to verify.

Checking the SCSI IDs

To determine which SCSI IDs are currently in use on your system, use the ioscan command in a terminal window. Note that you will need to be superuser (root) in order to use the ioscan command.

Here are the steps necessary for determining SCSI IDs:

1. In a terminal, type the following at the shell prompt and press Enter:

/usr/sbin/ioscan -f

After a few moments, the ioscan utility lists all of the I/O devices it could ﬁnd. The list appears similar (but likely not identical) to the following:

2. You can determine which SCSI IDs are currently in use by looking under the “H/W Path” heading. In the example display, the H/W Path for the built-in SCSI interface is 8/16/5. For devices connected to the built-in SCSI bus, such as disks, the fourth number is the SCSI ID for that device. For example, the listing 8/16/5.2.0 tells you that there is a SCSI device (a disk) currently using ID 2 on the SCSI bus.

NOTE Never use SCSI address 7 for any device. Address 7 is reserved for the

SCSI controller.

Using Device Files

Device ﬁles are special ﬁles that tell your system which pathway to use through the system hardware when communicating with a speciﬁc device and what kind of device it is.

NOTE The device ﬁle names depend on the naming conventions of your

particular system.

To determine what device ﬁles are available for use with your disk drive, use the following procedure:

1. In a terminal window, become root and type the following command at the prompt and press Enter:

sam

The System Administration Manager (SAM) window opens.

2. Double click on the Disks and File Systems icon. The Disk and File Systems window opens.

This chapter provides an overview of the optional CD drive and media, and describes how to install and use the CD drive.

NOTE Some procedures in this chapter require you to log in as root. If you

cannot log in as root, contact your system administrator.

In this chapter, we use the terms “CD” and “CD drive” rather than “CD-ROM” and “CD-ROM drive” because the CD drives used in the J5000 and the J7000 can read the original CD-ROM disks, plus CD-R disks and the newer CD-RW disks (also called “CD-RAM” because they are rewritable). Thus, since not all CDs are ROMs any longer, that portion of the term has been dropped.

The CD drives also are multisession-capable. Note that this chapter assumes you are running HP-UX 10.20 with the

HP-UX 10.20 Workstation ACE (June 1999).

The CD Drive

The CD drive is a random-access read-only mass storage device that uses removable CDs.

The drive supports the ISO 9660 and High Sierra format standards. You can access information from the drive like any other disk drive, except that you cannot write to the drive. The drive contains a semiconductor laser for reading data optically, and includes an embedded controller with an ATAPI interface.

92 Chapter4

Using Your CD Drive

Operating the CD Drive

CD Media

CDs are 120mm (4.7 in.) in diameter, and use one data surface with a capacity of approximately 600 megabytes. The data surface contains pits and ﬂat spots arranged in a continuous spiral track, which is read at a constant linear speed (and hence a variable rotational speed). Originally, all CDs were CD-ROMs; i.e., you could access ﬁles and data stored on them, but could not write ﬁles or data to them; it was indeed a CD-ROM; i.e., Read-Only Memory. Since then, writable, and even rewritable CDs (“CD-RAMs”) have come available; your workstation can read any of these types of CDs, but you cannot write CDs with your workstation without additional hardware and software.

CD data disks are identical to audio compact disks (CDs) except that they store computer data and information.

CAUTION Handle CDs by the edges only. Always be sure a CD is either in the CD

drive or its protective case or envelope when not in use. If you must set it down when it is not in its protective case or envelope, lay it down with the shiny side up (labelled side down); this will lessen the chance of scratch damage to the more-sensitive data side. Putting CDs back into their cases or envelopes will lessen the chance of exposing the disk surface to dust, ﬁngerprints, and objects that could scratch the CD. These factors will reduce the reliability of the read head in the CD drive.

Caring for CDs

Observe the following guidelines to help prevent data loss and prolong the life of your CDs and drive:

• Use CDs in a clean environment to prevent dust particles from scratching disk surfaces.

• Store CDs in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture and heat damage.

• Don’t try to clean the surface of a CD with cleaning solvents, as some cleaning solvents may damage the disk.

NOTE You must mount a CD after loading it into the drive. Refer to “Mounting

and Unmounting a CD” on page 98 for instructions on mounting a CD.

Audio Control for the CD Drive

The audio controls for your CD drive are provided through the xmcd utility. This is a third-party CD player utility that runs on an X windows system using the Motif graphical user interface. The xmcd utility is not supported by Hewlett-Packard, and it is oneof many audio controllers for CD drives available in the marketplace. Since the xmcd utility is not a part of HP-UX, you will need to download it off the web using your web browser and this URL:

http://metalab.unc.edu/tkan/xmcd

Installing the xmcd Utility

Here is the procedure for downloading the xmcd utility to your system:

1. Log in as root.

2. Type the previously given URL into the entry box on your web browser and press Enter.

3. Select the menu item labeled Downloads found on the xmcd homepage.

Mounting and Unmounting a CD

In normal system use—i.e., other than installing the operating system or ﬁrmware—you must ﬁrst mount a CD in order to access information on it (this applies to ﬁle system information only: if you wish to load a music CD, you would not need to mount the disk). Mounting a disk with ﬁle system information on it gives the disk a pathname that allows your workstation to communicate electronically with it. Similarly, you must unmount the CD before removing it from the drive.

CAUTION To use a CD as a mounted ﬁle system, you must mount the CD every

time you load it into the drive. You must also unmount the CD every time you unload it from the drive. Failure to mount or unmount a disk can cause a system error condition that can require rebooting the system.

To mount a CD as a ﬁle system, you can use the mount command (see the man page for mount for details). Or, you can use SAM (the System Administration Manager) if you prefer; the instructions for using SAM to mount and unmount CDs are in the next section.

If your workstation is running HP CDE, follow these instructions to mount and unmount a CD as a ﬁle system. If you’re using something other than HP CDE, use the instructions for mounting and unmounting a CD that come with that product. For more information on conﬁguring your CD drive, see the System Administration Tasks manual or online help.

The procedures in this chapter require you to log in as root. If you cannot log in as root, contact your system administrator.

A typical CD mount point is /dev/CD, although you can mount it wherever you want. If the directory you specify does not yet exist, SAM will create it for you.

• The following screen message appears:

Now you can access the CD as you would any other mounted ﬁle system.

Unmounting a CD Using SAM

Use the following procedure to unmount a CD:

NOTE Before you unmount a CD, make sure that your working directory (the

directory you’re currently “in”) is not set to any directory on the CD—this goes for all shell windows. If you attempt to unmount a ﬁle system when one or more working directories are set somewhere in the ﬁle system you’re trying to unmount, you’ll get an error message something like this:

cannot unmount /dev/CD: device busy

Toavoid this error message, simply cd to some directory that is known to

not be in the ﬁle system you want to unmount; for example, the root directory / or your home directory. Again, make sure you do this for all shell windows.
