Installing the A6829A Adapter

Installing the SCSI Driver

Installing the SCSI Driver
On most of the supported HP-UX PA-RISC systems, the SCSI c720
driver is used with some of the SCSI interfaces. This driver is
automatically installed as part of the HP-UX 11.0 core OS and the
HP-UX 11i base Operating Environment (OE). Therefore, you do not
have to install it separately.
However, you must separately install the SCSI c8xx driver, which is
used by the A6829A HBA in all the supported HP-UX systems. This
driver is available in the latest HP-UX bundle or at http://itrc.hp.com.
TIP You should keep in mind that, although the installation process installs
the c8xx driver, it does not load the c8xx driver into the HP-UX kernel
unless it detects one or more SCSI Ultra160 devices installed in the
HP-UX system. This is done to prevent the kernel from becoming
unnecessarily large.
Therefore, if Ultra160 devices (for example, a SCSI Ultra160 "add-in"
adapter [like the A6829A] or core I/O card) are already installed in the
HP-UX system, or if you will be installing an Ultra160 add-in adapter
later through OLA, you should install the c8xx driver now. If no SCSI
Ultra160 devices are in the system, and you do not want to install any
Ultra160 add-in adapters later, do not install the c8xx driver at this
time.
NOTE You must install all patches before you install the bundle containing the
c8xx driver.
The following is an overview of the steps you need to perform:
Step 1. Issue the swlist command to see which patches are already installed on
the system. You can get any patches you need to install from the HP IT
Resource Center (ITRC) at http://itrc.hp.com.
If you do not need to install any patches (other than the c8xx bundle), go
to step 3.
