■ AIX Host Installation/Upgrade Procedures
Use the following procedures as appropriate after performing all preliminary
and preparation procedures as previously discussed.
Note: If you are using HACMP, you must also be using the Cambex DPF
failover driver since it is the DPF driver that detects the “all paths bad”
condition and triggers a node shut down to force resource groups to
another node in an attempt to correct for the failure condition.
Cambex HBA Driver Remove/Install/Upgrade
If you’re using the Cambex HBAs and your driver is out-of-date, or if you’re
installing for the first time,
- check the current installed driver version with the following command
lslpp -L PC1000.driver.obj
- deinstall the existing Cambex HBA driver (if out-of-date) using
installp –u PC1000.driver.obj
- ftp from the CRC to the target AIX system and uncompress the HBA
driver file if necessary, or mount the Cambex HBA Driver CD and cd to
the directory that contains the HBA driver file.
- install the latest PC1000 Cambex HBA driver (that supports both the
PC1000 and PC2000 HBAs) with the command:
installp –aXd filename.image all
where filename is the filename of the latest Cambex HBA driver for
your version of AIX, for example:
PC1000.fcp.2_0_10_5.image (AIX 4.3 version)
PC1000.fcp.2_5_10_5.image (AIX 5.1/5.2 version)
Adding odm data base device definitions for a non-failover
solution
If using the Cambex DPF failover solution, skip this section.
If you are not using the Cambex DPF failover package, this step adds entries
to the odm device data base to support the storage system in a non-failover
architecture.
