Parallel Disk Array System Administration
Chapter 3 provides procedures for bringing up the DECmpp 12000/Sx Parallel
Disk Array (PDA), initializing the disk array (DA) controller and the disk
banks, and other administrative procedures. For standard DECmpp 12000/Sx
system administration procedures, refer to the
DECmpp 12000/Sx System
Administration Guide
.
The PDA has been configured, inspected and tested in the factory. The
information presented in this chapter is not required to install a PDA. It is
intended for Digital Services personnel.
Note
The PDA configuration must be correct before executing
doconfig
on the
DECmpp 12000/Sx system.
If you are also installing a new DECmpp 12000/Sx system, you must
initialize and configure the PDA before configuring the DECmpp
12000/Sx. If you are adding a PDA to your DECmpp 12000/Sx system
or upgrading your existing PDA, you must verify the DA controller
configuration.
