64-Bit PCI to Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter for Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS - Release Notes (AV-RLLUA-TE)

64-Bit PCI to Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Release Notes for Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS 9
■ –SET ADAPTER – A WWIDMGR -SET ADAPTER command is used
to format the HBA NVRAM and to configure an HBA to run on a loop
or a fabric. The command format is:
wwidmgr-set adapter -item<itemno> -topo<fabricIloop>
where itemno is the bracketed value from the –SHOW ADAPTER
command. In Figure 3-3, you can change all HBA’s from fabric to loop
by specifying an itemno value of 9999. The init is shown at the end to
emphasize that the setting in the running HBA is not changed until the
next initialization.

OpenVMS Restrictions
OpenVMS restrictions include:
■ The DS-KGPSA-BC and the DS-KGPSA-CA driver for OpenVMS is
built into the Operating System. The minimum revision of the operating
system for the KGPSA-CA HBA is VMS 7.2-1.
■ OpenVMS only supports the DS-KGPSA-BC and DS-KGPSA-CA
adapters in Fibre Channel switch topologies.
■ The DS-KGPSA-BC and the DS-KGPSA-CA adapters require Alpha
VMS V7.2-1 TIMA kit OVMS721_FIBRECHAN_V0200
■ Open VMS will not support the operation of the S3Trio video board and
the DS-KGPSA-BC or DS-KGPSA-CA adapter in the same PCI bus.
