Verifying the Installation

Issue this command:

ioscan -kfn

If the HP RAID 4Si software and hardware are installed correctly, the generated output could look like this:

i2o         1   0/6/0/1        iop_drv   CLAIMED    INTERFACE    IOP
ext_bus     5   0/6/0/1.0      bs_osm    CLAIMED    INTERFACE    I20 Block Storage

Check the ioscan output to ensure that the iop_drv and bs_osm (shown as bold in the above example, for highlighting purposes) are present and CLAIMED for each HP RAID 4Si controller in the HP-UX system.

If the software is not installed correctly, re-install it using swinstall (see “Installing the HP RAID 4Si Software”).

Issue this command:

irdisplay

If the controller is installed correctly, the generated output could look like this:

If the controller is not installed correctly, irdisplay generates the message No Internal RAID controllers found instead of the above information. Some possible causes you should check are as follows:

After you have checked all of these possible causes, repeat this step (step 2).

Once the software and controller are installed correctly, go to the next chapter, Chapter 3 “Configuring the HP RAID 4Si Product”
