Cluster-aware clients

Additional prerequisites and steps are required for installing cluster-aware clients.

Refer to “ Installing cluster-aware clients ” on page 195 for more details.

Checking the kernel configuration on HP-UX

The following procedure explains how to check and build your kernel configuration on the HP-UX 11.x, using the HP System Administration Manager (SAM) utility. Refer

to “ SCSI robotics configuration on HP-UX ” on page 410 for instructions on how to

build the kernel manually.

Follow this procedure to build the kernel configuration using the HP System

Administration Manager (SAM) utility:

1.

Log in as a root user, open the terminal and type sam.

2.

In the System Administration Manager window, double-click Kernel Configuration, and then Drivers.

3.

In the Kernel Configuration window, verify the following:

• The drivers for the devices you will be using must be listed among the installed drivers. See

Figure 21 on page 98. If the driver you are looking for is not

listed, you have to install it using the /usr/sbin/swinstall utility. For example:

• A Tape Device Driver is required for tape devices and must be installed if you have connected a tape device to the system. For example, for generic SCSI tape drives, like DLT or LTO, the stape driver is used, and for DDS devices the tape2 driver.

• A SCSI Pass-Through driver named sctl or spt, or an autochanger robotics driver named schgr (depending on the hardware) is required to control robotics in Tape library devices.

Refer to “ SCSI robotics configuration on HP-UX ” on page 410 for details.

Figure 21 Kernel configuration Window

• The status of a driver that is displayed in the Current State column must be set to In. If the status value is set to Out, proceed as follows:

1.

Select the driver in the list. Click Actions and select Add Driver to Kernel.

In the Pending State column, the status will be set to In.

Repeat this for each driver for which the Current State is In.

2.

Click Actions and select Create a New Kernel to apply the changes, that is to build a Pending Kernel into the Current Kernel. The action requires a restart of the system.
