Part 3 - Configuring the HP NetRAID Adapter

In Parts 1 and 2 you installed additional hardware in your HP NetServers, setup both the HP NetServers and the
Rack Storage/8 units for use in the cluster, and rack mounted the cluster hardware. In this part, you will
configure the HP NetRAID Adapters you installed in Systems A and B.
Configuring Your Systems NetRAID Adapter
NOTE
1. Ensure that no SCSI cables are connected between Systems A and B (LXr Pros) and the Rack Storage 8
cabinets.
If these units are cabled now, before you are directed to cable them, the cluster configuration steps will
not be performed correctly.
NOTE
2. Turn on power to System A. During bootup (after initialization and channel scanning) check that the
displayed HP NetRAID firmware version is:
HP NetRAID Adapter
If not, perform step 3 and then see Appendix B, Updating the HP NetRAID Firmware.
3. Press Ctrl+M when the following prompt appears:
Option: Experienced users may press <Ctrl> <M>
for HP NetRAID Express Tools now.
NOTE
4. From the Management Menu, choose Disable BIOS, then Yes.
HP NetRAID Express Tools displays the message, BIOS Is Currently Disabled.
5. Choose Objects|SCSI Channel.
6. Check the status of the Ultra SCSI option for each NetRAID channel. If enabled, disable the option.
7. Check that the Terminate option for each channel is set to Terminate Wide Channel. If not,
change the setting accordingly.
8. Choose Objects|Adapter|.
9. Choose Cluster Mode, then Enable.
10. Choose Initiator ID. For:
System A Initiator ID to 7
System B Initiator ID to 6
This procedure must be performed on both Systems A and B. Start with
System A and then repeat the procedure on System B.
In steps 2 and 3 you are required to take action during the bootup of System A. Review
steps 2 and 3 before starting bootup so that you are prepared to take the necessary
actions.
BIOS VER S.01.00 or later.
When system scanning is completed the HP NetRAID Express Tools Management menu
is displayed. Express tools are management and diagnostic utilities that contain
functions not available in HP NetRAID Assistant.
