Host Software Requirements

The Model 12H AutoRAID is supported on the MPE/iX 6.5 operating system with the

addition of two software patches:

• MPE/iX C.65.01 (6.5)

• Software Patches:

— The ﬁrst patch contains the new TYPE manager and changes to SDARRAY for support

of the new SCSI passthru functionality. This functionally is needed for the

AutoRAID Management (ARM) utilities.

— The second patch contains the ARM utilities. This patch is installed under the

MPE/iX POSIX environment. Information on how to install the this patch, see the

MPE/iX and SureStore E Disk Array 12H AutoRAID Manager Installation Guide

• The SYSGEN product ID is HPDARRAY. See Conﬁguring AutoRAID SCSI LUNs for

MPE/iX within chapter 5 of the System Administrators Guide for HP-UX, MPE/iX, and

Microsoft Windows NT for how to perform the SYSGEN conﬁguration.

Host Diagnostic Support

Sysmap will identify the Model 12H AutoRAID as unsupported. For diagnostic support,

the ARM utilities will replace the current SHERLOCK diagnostic. Note that SCSIDSK2 can

still be used to perform disk trouble analysis, but this is not a supported tool for the Model

12H AutoRAID product.
