Installing the KGPSA-xx adapter card in an OpenVMS host system

This section provides the steps you must follow to install the KGPSA-xx adapter card.

1. Shut down the Hewlett-Packard AlphaServer host system.
2. Use the procedures that are provided by the manufacturer of the adapter card to install the KGPSA-xx host adapter.
3. Bring the host system to a halt condition at the console level.
4. Type set mode diag at the Hewlett-Packard AlphaServer console to place the console in diagnostic mode.
   Note: This step is only for AlphaServer models AS8x00, GS60/140, AS4x00, or AS1200. On all other machines, the wwidmgr command can be issued at any time prior to booting.
5. Type wwidmgr-show adapter to confirm that you installed each adapter properly.
   Note: On AlphaServer models AS8x00, GS60/140, AS4x00, or AS1200, you need to set the console to diagnostic mode to use the wwidmgr command after initializing the system. On these systems, type set mode diag first as shown in step 4.
6. 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 also 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¨.
