Installing the KGPSA-xx adapter card in an Tru64 UNIX host system

This section lists the steps you must perform to install the KGPSA-xx adapter card.

  1. Shut down the HP AlphaServer host system.
  2. Use the procedures provided by the manufacturer of the adapter card to install the KGPSA-xx host adapter.
  3. Restart the host (nonclustered configurations) or each cluster member (clustered configurations).
  4. Bring each host system to a halt condition at the console level.
  5. Type set mode diag at the HP AlphaServer console to place the console in diagnostic mode.
  6. Type wwidmgr-show adapter to confirm that you installed each adapter properly.
  7. If necessary, update the adapter firmware.

    Figure 1 shows an example of what you see when you type set mode diag and wwidmgr -show adapter.

Figure 1 shows the worldwide node name (WWNN). You need the worldwide port name (WWPN) to configure the storage unit host attachment. To determine the WWPN for the KGPSA adapters, replace the “2” in the WWNN with a “1”.
