Confirming fibre-channel storage connectivity for Tru64 UNIX

This section lists the steps you must perform to confirm fibre-channel storage connectivity for an HP Tru64 UNIX® host system.

  1. Reset the host (nonclustered configurations) or each cluster member (clustered configurations).
  2. Bring each host system to a halt condition at the console level.
  3. Type set mode diag at the HP AlphaServer console (if required by the host) to place the console in diagnostic mode.

    Type wwidmgr -show wwid to display the information about the storage unit volume at the console level. You can use this information to identify the volumes that are attached to an AlphaServer. Figure 1 shows an example of information about the storage unit volumes that you can see at the AlphaServer console.

  4. Type wwidmgr -show adapter to confirm storage attachment.
