NOTE:
The term inbox driver is also sometimes used and means the same as native driver.
However, in some configurations, it may require the use of an out-of-box driver, which typically
requires a driver package be downloaded and installed on the host. In those cases, follow the
documentation of the driver package for instruction. Driver support information can be found on
the Single Point of Connectivity Knowledge (SPOCK) website:
NOTE:
Registration is required to access SPOCK.
Verifying virtual disks from the host
To ensure that the LUN is recognized after a virtual disk is presented to the host, do one of the
following:
•
Reboot the host.
•
Enter the following command (where X is the SCSI host enumerator of the HBA):
echo “- – –” /sys/class/scsi_host/host[X]/scan
To verify that the host can access the virtual disks, enter the # more /proc/scsi/scsi command.
The output lists all SCSI devices detected by the server. An EVA6400/8400 LUN entry looks similar
to the following:
Host: scsi3 Channel: 00 ID: 00 Lun: 01
Vendor: HP Model: HSV400 Rev:
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Updating the AlphaServer console code, Integrity Server console code, and Fibre
Channel FCA firmware
The firmware update procedure varies for the different server types. To update firmware, follow
the procedure described in the Installation instructions that accompany the firmware images.
Verifying the Fibre Channel adapter software installation
A supported FCA should already be installed in the host server. The procedure to verify that the
console recognizes the installed FCA varies for the different server types. Follow the procedure
described in the Installation instructions that accompany the firmware images.
Console LUN ID and OS unit ID
HP P6000 Command View software contains a box for the Console LUN ID on the Initialized
Storage System Properties window.
It is important that you set the Console LUN ID to a number other than zero. If the Console LUN ID
is not set or is set to zero, the OpenVMS host will not recognize the controller pair. The Console
LUN ID for a controller pair must be unique within the SAN.
shows an example
of the Console LUN ID.
You can set the OS unit ID on the Virtual Disk Properties window. The default setting is 0, which
disables the ID field. To enable the ID field, you must specify a value between 1 and 32767,
