20 Tru64 UNIX Kit V3.0B for Enterprise Virtual Array Installation and Configuration Guide
Installing the Fibre Channel Adapter
Supported Fibre Channel Adapters (FCAs) must be installed in the host server in
order to communicate with the Enterprise Virtual Array. Refer to the
platform-specific release notes for a list of supported FCAs. Because the
Enterprise Virtual Array requires a multiple-path environment, a minimum of two
FCA ports are required for each host.
Note: Traditionally, the adapter used to connect the host server to the fabric is called a
Host Bus Adapter (HBA). The HBA used in the Enterprise Virtual Array is called a Fibre
Channel Adapter (FCA). You may also see the adapter referred to as a Fibre Channel
Host Bus Adapter (FC HBA) in other related documents.
Follow the hardware installation rules and conventions for your server type. The
Fibre Channel Adapter is shipped with its own documentation for installation.
Refer to that documentation for complete instructions.
You need the following items to begin:
■ FCA boards and the installation instructions included with the adapter kit
■ The computer’s hardware manual for instructions on installing adapters
■ Appropriate tools to service your computer
The FCA board plugs into a standard PCI/PCI-X slot in the host computer. Refer
to the system manual for instructions on module installation.
Installing the Host Kit
The Tru64 UNIX Kit V3.0B for Enterprise Virtual Array installs the supported
FCA drivers and the Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU).
The HSV controllers can be configured with SSSU as an alternate to the
Command View EVA. SSSU allows a command line interface for issuing
commands directly to the controller. Complex configuration requests and
operations can be handled by either the Command View EVA or SSSU. Simple or
initial configuration requests can be handled easily through Command View EVA,
but repetitious and complex configuration steps can be scripted and executed
through the command line interface.
