Smart Array 6400A Release Notes

Installing the Smart Array 6400A RAID controller consists of the following
steps:
1. Review the
Smart Array 6400A Release Notes
for important information
updates not included in the
Smart Array 5300A/6400A Installation and
Configuration Guide.
Note: Procedures in most of the following steps are documented in the
Smart Array 5300A/6400A Backplane RAID Controller Installation and
Configuration Guide.
2. Check the Smart Array 6400A web site for updated documentation and
software components before installing the controller:
http://h18002.www1.hp.com/alphaserver/products/storage/sa6400a/
3. Install the ISA extension bracket onto the controller module. This step is
required when the controller is installed into DS and GS class
AlphaServer systems. Do not install the bracket if the controller is to be
installed into an ES series AlphaServer system.
4. Install the controller module in your AlphaServer system. An example
instruction for this task is detailed in the
Smart Array 5300A/6400A
Backplane RAID Controller Installation and Configuration Guide.

5. Attach storage enclosures and disk drives to the controller. Consult the
documentation accompanying your StorageWorks enclosure for
additional usage information.
6. Run the BIOS on each controller after power up to determine whether
disk drive firmware updates are required. The BIOS on the controller is
executed from the SRM console prompt. If necessary, use the Alpha
Drive Firmware Update utility to update your drive firmware.
7. Initialize the SRM console environment variables heap_expand (except
for GS1280, ES47, and ES80 AlphaServers) and bootbios if the Smart
Array 6400A controller will be configured as a boot controller.
8. Create at least one logical volume via the ORCA offline configuration
utility if the Smart Array 6400A is configured as the boot controller.
ORCA provides basic functions for creating and deleting Smart Array
6400A logical volumes. You can create non-boot logical volumes later
using the online ACU-XE utility after Step 11 has been completed.
9. Install the Smart Array 6400A driver components for your OpenVMS
operating system. (Smart Array 6400A is not supported on Tru64 UNIX.)
Smart Array 6400A controllers can be configured only on OpenVMS
Version 7.3-2 or Version 8.2. Both OpenVMS INITIALIZE and
PRESERVE installation types are supported. The following TIMA kits
are required:
•
OpenVMS V7.3-2:
−
DEC-AXPVMS-VMS732_FIBRE_SCSI-V0700
−
DEC-AXPVMS-VMS732_CPU27F-V0100
OpenVMS V8.2:
−
DEC-AXPVMS-VMS82A_FIBRE_SCSI-V0100
•

10. Install the Smart Array 6400A controller monitoring agent. This is done
by installing the HP Management Agent kit for your operating system.
The Smart Array 6400A monitoring agent provides detailed information
on the status of your Smart Array 6400A controller and attached storage
subsystem. User access to the agent is done via a web browser accessing
the system’s HP Management Agent web page.
OpenVMS Management Agent kits containing Smart Array 6400A
enabled storage agents are available on the Smart Array 5300A/6400A
QuickStart CD-ROM. Consult the Smart Array 6400A web site for
availability of updates to the provided kits.
The
Release Notes for HP Management Agents for OpenVMS
provide
detailed information on the installation and usage of the HP Management
Agent kits.
11. Install the Smart Array ACU-XE online configuration utility. The ACU-
XE utility provides access to the advanced configuration and maintenance
features of the controller. The ACU-XE utility consists of a daemon
process running on the host system. User access to the utility is done
using a web browser to access the system’s HP Management Agent web
page.
OpenVMS ACU-XE kits containing the Smart Array 6400A online
configuration utility are available on the Smart Array 5300A/6400A
QuickStart CD-ROM. Consult the Smart Array 6400A web site for
availability of updates to the provided kits.
Installation of the ACU-XE utility is documented in the
Smart Array
5300A/6400A Installation and Configuration Guide.
Information on using
the utility is detailed in the
Smart Array Configuration Utility XE User’s
Guide
provided on the Smart Array 5300A/6400A QuickStart CD-ROM.
Smart Array 5300A/6400A QuickStart CD-ROM
Information
The Smart Array 5300A/6400A QuickStart CD-ROM included in the Smart
Array 6400A kit provides a convenient distribution source for the online
utility software kits and documentation supporting the Smart Array 6400A
controller.

The CD-ROM can be mounted as an ISO9660 file system under OpenVMS as
in the following example (in which
DQA0
is the CD-ROM drive):
mount /override=id /MEDIA=cdrom DQA0
Most directories on the QuickStart CD-ROM have a file named
00README.TXT’
that provides information about the contents and usage of
the contents of the directory.
To load a kit, copy it from the QuickStart CD-ROM to a scratch area where
the kit can be expanded. OpenVMS kits are installed using the PolyCenter
Software Installation Utility’s
PRODUCT INSTALL
command. The
OpenVMS kits are packaged as self-extracting ZIP format archives.
Accessing to Most Current Software and Documentation
The software and documentation found on the QuickStart CD-ROM represent
current version as of the release of this kit. These components are not
necessarily the latest available. Users are strongly encouraged to visit the
Smart Array 6400A web page for access to the most up-to-date software and
documentation for the Smart Array 6400A controller.
