Setting Up a Controller Pair

❏ 9600 baud
❏ 8 data bits
❏ 1 stop bit
❏ no parity
If these lines are not in the port file for the appropriate serial port, enter them and save
the file.
6. Create /dev/ttys0 by entering the following command:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV ttyS0
7. Open a Terminal Window from the Desktop Program menu.
8. Start the Call Up Program (CU), at the prompt enter the following command:
cu -p com1

Cabling a Controller Pair
The cabling for a controller pair failover showing one HBA per server with HSG60
controller in transparent failover mode is shown in Figure 5–3.
NOTE: It is a good idea to plug only the controller cables into the switch. The host cables are
plugged into the switch as part of the configuration procedure (“Configuring a Controller Pair
Using CLI,” page 5–11).
