UNIX Version 5.1 installation disk or cluster member system boot disks.
Setting the device unit number allows the installation scripts to recognize a
Fibre Channel disk.
To set the device unit number for a Fibre Channel device, follow these steps:
1.
Use the HSG80
show unit
command to obtain the user defined
identifier (UDID) for the HSG80 storageset to be used as the Tru64
UNIX Version 5.1 installation disk or cluster member system boot disks.
Record the UDIDs. The
show unit
command also displays the HSG80
disk name, so you can be sure you are using the correct device.
In the example in Table 6–2 the Tru64 UNIX disk is unit D133 with a
UDID 133. The UDID for the cluster member 1 boot disk is 131, and the
cluster member 2 boot disk is 132.
2.
From the AlphaServer console, use the
wwidmgr -clear all
command to clear the stored Fibre Channel
wwid1
,
wwid2
,
wwid3
,
wwid4
,
N1
,
N2
,
N3
, and
N4
console environment variables. You want to
start with all
wwid
n
and
N
n
variables clear.
P00>>>
wwidmgr -clear all
P00>>>
show wwid*

Note
_____________________
The console only creates devices for which the
wwid
n
console environment variable has been set, and are
accessible through an HSG80 N_Port as specified by the
N
n
console environment variable also being set. These console
environment variables are set with the
wwidmgr -quickset
or
wwidmgr -set wwid
commands. The use of the
wwidmgr
-quickset
command is shown later in Example 6–5.

Example 6–4 shows the use of the
wwidmgr -show wwid
command to
display the UDID and worldwide names of all devices known to the
console. Note that at this time, if you were to issue the
