Setting Up and Checking System Prerequisites
Each Fibre Channel adapter requires a different device driver. To determine the correct device driver for
your adapter, see the following table.
Adapter
Device Driver
Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter (FC 6227, Type 4-S)
devices.pci.df1000f7
2 Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter for 64-bit PCI Bus (FC 6228, Type 4-W)
devices.pci.df1000f9
2 Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI-X Adapter (FC 6239, Type 5704)
devices.pci.df1080f9
Do the following to check system prerequisites:
1. Log in to the control workstation as root user.
2. If there are several nodes involved, and you are going to use the
dsh
command with a working
collective file, perform the following steps:
a. Go to a temporary directory by typing:
cd /tmp
Press Enter.
b. Create the working collective file containing a list of the relevant nodes on which to perform the
update in preparation for the
dsh
command.
Type the following commands on the AIX command line (substituting actual node names for each
[nodenameN]
). Press Enter after each line:
cat >group1
[nodename1]
[nodename2]
[nodename3]
.
[nodenameN]
CTRL-D
export
WCOLL=/tmp/group1
c. Test the working collective file by typing:
dsh date
Press Enter. The results should include a line for each node in the list, where
[nodename1 - N]
will
be the actual node names, and should be similar to:
[nodename1]:
Wed Nov 10 10:37:46 EST 1999
[nodename2]:
Wed Nov 10 10:37:46 EST 1999
[nodename3]:
Wed Nov 10 10:37:47 EST 1999
.
[nodenameN]:
Wed Nov 10 10:37:48 EST 1999
If the list does not include all (and only) the required system nodes, examine the
group1
file you
created in step 2b to ensure that it contains the correct and complete list.
3. Determine if the AIX operating system on each relevant node is at the required level by typing:
dsh oslevel
OR
without the working collective file
dsh -w [nodename1,nodename2,nodename3] oslevel
where the actual node names are substituted for
[nodename1, 2, and 3]
. Press Enter.
See “Software Requirements” on page 3 for AIX level requirements for the adapter you are installing. If
the nodes are
not
at a supported AIX level, upgrade the AIX level on the nodes. Contact the system
administrator for assistance.
4. Determine if the PSSP level on the system is at the required level by typing:
