Page 41: Opening The System Unit
Opening the System Unit Some hardware-conﬁguration operations, like installing and removing hard disk drives, can be done simply by opening the door on the front of the unit; the disk drives are accessible through the open door. Other operations require a bit more access to the interior of the computer, so more panels will need to be removed.

“hot-swappable.” Hot swapping happens at the device level; that is, a hot-swappable device manages insertion/removal on its own without assistance from HP-UX commands. The disk drives in the J5xxx and J7xxx are not hot-swappable; they are merely hot-pluggable. Thus, a manual software procedure must be done in order to safely remove or insert disk drives while the system is running.

Page 81: The Hot-Plug Procedure
The Hot-Plug Procedure These are the steps required to properly hot-plug a disk drive: Step 1 • Check if the LVM found the physical volume to be defective when the volume group was activated. • The “vgchange -ey” would have printed the following message on the console: WARNING: VGCHANGE:WARNING: COULDN’T ATTACH TO THE VOLUME GROUP...
Page 82 Hot-Pluggable Hard Disk Drives The Hot-Plug Process Step 2 • Reduce any logical volumes that have mirror copies on the faulty disk so that they no longer mirror onto that disk (note the -A n option): lvreduce -m 0 -A n LV name /dev/dsk/cXtXdX (for 1-way mirroring) lvreduce -m 1 -A n LV name /dev/dsk/cXtXdX (for 2 way mirroring)
Page 83 Step 6 • If this disk is not a mirror of a root disk, then skip this step. • Run the mkboot command. For our example: mkboot /dev/rdsk/c2t4d0 • Run lvlnboot -R to relink the replaced disk into the Boot Data Reserved Area of all the Physical Volumes in the Volume Group.

Page 125 C2365A C2363A CAUTION SCSI cables approved by HP are designed to function within the SCSI tolerances for HP devices. Use of other cables can result in signiﬁcant problems with system operation. Always use the shortest possible cable(s) for your conﬁguration.
Page 126: Terminators
(LVD) SCSI buses have been qualiﬁed as SCSI devices which meet NSE and LVD speciﬁcations. Contact your local HP sales representative for a current list of SCSI devices supported by HP for use on the Ultra Narrow Single-Ended and Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI buses.
Page 127 Narrow Single-Ended or the Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus on this system, they must adhere to cabling, termination and bus length restrictions discussed in this chapter to assure functionality of the SCSI busses. Because Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI is a relatively new technology, there can be products which are advertised as LVD compliant, but may not meet LVD speciﬁcations.
