Step Done?
1. Before beginning configuration to integrate the SCO UnixWare 7
host with the Symmetrix, ensure that all hardware and patch
configurations are EMC-qualified. Obtain all EMC-qualified
configurations from your EMC customer representative. Verify
the following:
n/a
a. The host server is EMC-qualified.
b. The hub (if required) is EMC-qualified.
c. The patch configuration for the UnixWare 7 host is
EMC-qualified.
2. Verify that the QLA2200F-EMC HBA is installed in the SCO
UnixWare host system, and that the Symmetrix is connected to
the HBA.
a. For information on installing the HBA, refer to the
Qlogic Hardware Install Guide QLA2000/2000F/2100/2100F/
2200/2200.
3. Boot the host and verify the correct HBA BIOS version (1.59) and
firmware settings. Upgrade the HBA BIOS if necessary.
n/a
a. To verify the BIOS version, refer to Verifying the Correct HBA
BIOS Version on page 7.
b. To verify the firmware settings, refer to Setting the Firmware
