U320 Installation Guide

For more information on OLAR or OL*, see the following documents:
• To determine whether OLAR or OL* is supported on your system, see the HP Ultra320 SCSI
Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix:

IMPORTANT: Superdome systems are not intended for access by users. HP recommends that
Superdome systems only be opened by a qualified HP engineer. Failure to observe this
requirement can invalidate any support agreement or warranty to which the system owner might
otherwise be entitled.
IMPORTANT: If you use OLAR or OL* to add or replace an A7173A adapter, the SCSI ID will
be set at 7 by default. If the SCSI ID for an add-in or replacement adapter needs to be set at some
value other than 7, use the mptconfig command to set the SCSI ID after the A7173A adapter
is inserted into the slot and powered on, but before the SCSI cable(s) are connected. For more
information on using mptutil to set SCSI parameters, see the HP A7173A PCI-X Dual Channel

Confirming the A7173A Adapter Firmware Version
To verify the firmware version currently running on an online A7173A adapter, use the mptutil
<device_file> command.
To determine the device files for the A7173A adapters in your system, use the ioscan -fnkd
mpt command:
# ioscan -fnkd mpt

/dev/mpt9
The device file for each channel of each A7173A adapter is in the second line of the ioscan
output for each channel. In the sample output, the device files are /dev/mpt6, /dev/mpt7,
/dev/mpt8, and /dev/mpt9.
When you have determined the device files, use the mptutil <device_file> command to
determine the firmware version currently running (in ROM) on the A7173A adapter. Both channels
on each adapter share the same firmware, so it is only necessary to query one channel to determine
the current firmware version. For example:
