"Wrote: ...rpm". This line identifies the location of the binary RPM. 4. Copy the binary RPM to the production servers and install it using the following command: # rpm -ivh hp_qla2x00-version-revision.architecture.rpm HBA drivers For most configurations and latest version of linux distributions, native HBA drivers are the supported drivers. Native driver means the driver that is included with the OS distribution. NOTE: The term inbox driveris also sometimes used and means the same as native driver. However in some configurations, it may require use of an out-of-box driver, which typically requires a driver package be downloaded and installed on the host. In those cases, follow the documentation of the driver package for instruction. Driver support information can be found on the Single Point of Connectivity Knowledge (SPOCK) website: http://www.hp.com/storage/spock NOTE: Registration is required to access SPOCK Verifying virtual disks from the host To verify the virtual disks, first verify that the LUN is recognized and then verify that the host can access the virtual disks. • To ensure that the LUN is recognized after a virtual disk is presented to the host, do one of the following: ◦ Reboot the host. ◦ Execute the following command (where X is the SCSI host enumerator of the HBA): echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host[X]/scan • To verify that the host can access the virtual disks, enter the # more /proc/scsi/scsi command. The output lists all SCSI devices detected by the server. An P63x0/P65x0 EVAs LUN entry looks similar to the following: Host: scsi3 Channel: 00 ID: 00 Lun: 01 Vendor: HP Model: HSV340 Rev: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 OpenVMS Updating the AlphaServer console code, Integrity Server console code, and Fibre Channel FCA firmware The firmware update procedure varies for the different server types. To update firmware, follow the procedure described in the Installation instructions that accompany the firmware images. Verifying the Fibre Channel adapter software installation A supported FCA should already be installed in the host server. The procedure to verify that the console recognizes the installed FCA varies for the different server types. Follow the procedure described in the Installation instructions that accompany the firmware images. 58 Configuring application servers
