For systems operating with HP-UX release 9.05, you must load patch PHCO_5881 for disktab and sam functionality, and patch PHSS_5776 for network installation functionality. The software patches may be obtained from HP Customer Service. To install patch PHCO_5881 to HP-UX, perform the following steps: 1. Begin the HP-UX software installation process. If the system has a one of the drives installed, the following message appears: "Note: the destination disk type "disk-drive" was not found in the disk table /etc/disktab. (Press any key to continue.)" 2. Press any key. The screen displays the following message: "If model number: "disk-drive", is incorrect, and a correct one (one that has an entry in the /etc/disktab) is known, please enter it now otherwise press return." 3. Type: DEC_DSP3210S Return The DEC_DSP3210S drive is functionally equivalent to the new drives. By using this entry, you can complete the software installation process. 4. Let the software installation process complete. 5. Install the appropriate patch using /etc/update and reboot the system. 2-GB Disk Drive User Notes Refer to your workstation owner's guide or your disk drive installation guide for detailed information about installing your disk drive. During the installation procedure, you may have to change the SCSI ID of your disk drive. Refer to the appropriate illustration to set the SCSI ID jumpers to the desired SCSI ID.
