Installing the CDA 7 5330 with Microcode Release 5264
77 A7 48UU Rev03 E-17
E.3.7 Verifying the CDA 7 Configuration
Bull has defined a number of standard models, for which the configuration
(number of disks, number of DIRECTORS, etc.) is precisely determined.
In order to initialize the subsystem correctly, the PC must contain a file describing
the installed configuration; it is obvious that this file describes one of the standard
configurations (or basic models) specified in Bull/EMC agreements.
This file is called IMPL.BIN in directory C:\SYMM4
In order to proceed this "Automatic Install" command, the PC disk must contain
the IMPL.BIN corresponding to the delivered configuration. The name of the
binary file is given in the configuration descriptions in:
• Appendix A, Software Release and CDA 7 Configurations (9 GB Disks), or
• Appendix D, Software Release and CDA 7 Configurations (18 GB Disks), or
• Check with your Bull Competence Center.
E.3.7.1 List of Available BIN Files
For the list of available BIN files:
System with 9 GB disks See paragraph A.2 (Appendix A).
System with 18 GB disks See paragraph D.2 (Appendix D).
E.3.7.2 Standard Configuration
The standard configuration of a basic CDA 7 contains:
• 2 to 4 SCSI Channel DIRECTORS
• 2 Disk DIRECTORS
• 2 Memory boards
• 8 physical disk-modules
