You can download the compressed file containing the Host Utilities software packages from the NetApp Support Site. After you have the file, you must uncompress it to get the software packages you need to install the Host Utilities.
-
Download a copy of the compressed file containing the Host Utilities from the NetApp Support Site to a directory on your host.
-
Go to the directory containing the download.
-
Uncompress the file.
gunzip netapp_hpux_host_utilities_6.0_ia_pa.depot.gz
-
Enter the following command to install the software:
swinstall -s /netapp_hpux_host_utilities_6.0_ia_pa.depot NetApp_santoolkit
-
Reboot the host.
In the following example, the sanlun lun show
command returns LUN information.
#sanlun lun show controller(7mode)/ device host lun vserver(Cmode) lun-pathname filename adapter protocol size mode -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sanboot_unix /vol/hpux_215_boot_en_0/goot_hpux_215_lun /dev/rdsk/c11t0d0 fcd0 FCP 150g C sanboot_unix /vol/hpux_215_boot_en_0/goot_hpux_215_lun /dev/rdsk/c24t0d0 fcd1 FCP 150g C sanboot_unix /vol/hpux_215_boot_en_0/goot_hpux_215_lun /dev/rdsk/c21t0d0 fcd1 FCP 150g C sanboot_unix /vol/hpux_215_boot_en_0/goot_hpux_215_lun /dev/rdsk/c12t0d0 fcd0 FCP 150g C
If you decide to use SAN booting, it must be supported by your configuration. You can use the NetApp Interoperability Matrix Tool to verify that your OS, HBA, HBA firmware and the HBA boot BIOS, and ONTAP version are supported.
SAN booting is the process of setting up a SAN-attached disk (a LUN) as a boot device for a HP-UX host. The Host Utilities support SAN booting with FC and FCoE protocols in HP-UX environments.
Multipathing allows you to configure multiple network paths between the host and storage system. If one path fails, traffic continues on the remaining paths. For a host to have multiple paths to a LUN, multipathing must be enabled. The HP-UX Host Utilities support different multipathing solutions based on your configuration. The following is for the Native Multipathing solution.
# sanlun lun show -p vs39:/vol/vol24_3_0/lun24_0 ONTAP Path: vs39:/vol/vol24_3_0/lun24_0 LUN: 37 LUN Size: 15g Host Device: /dev/rdisk/disk942 Mode: C Multipath Policy: A/A Multipath Provider: Native ------- ---------- ------ ------- ---------- ---------- -------------- host vserver /dev/dsk HP A/A path path filename host vserver path failover state type or hardware path adapter LIF priority ------- ---------- ------ ------- ---------- ---------- -------------- up primary /dev/dsk/c39t4d5 fcd0 hpux_3 0 up primary /dev/dsk/c41t4d5 fcd1 hpux_4 0 up secondary /dev/dsk/c40t4d5 fcd0 hpux_3 1 up secondary /dev/dsk/c42t4d5 fcd1 hpux_4 1

All SAN Array (ASA) configurations are supported beginning in ONTAP 9.8 for HP-UX 11iv3 |

HPUX LVM creation sends I/O of block size above 1MB |
SCSI Maximum Transfer Length of 1 MB is enforced in ONTAP All SAN Array. To restrict the Maximum Transfer Length from HP-UX hosts when connected to ONTAP All SAN Array, it is required to set the Maximum I/O size allowed by the HP-UX SCSI subsystem to 1 MB. |
