The mpt driver is used by the A7173A adapter in all supported HP-UX systems. The mpt driver is available on the application release CD or at the HP Software Depot. The scsiU320-00 bundle, which includes the mpt driver, also includes the mptconfig and mptutil utilities for online configuration and troubleshooting.

  1. Read the HP scsiU320-00 (mpt) Mass Storage Driver Release Notes, to confirm which patches, if any, are required. Patches can be downloaded from the HP IT Resource Center (ITRC):

    http://itrc.hp.com

    NOTE: You must install all of the patches listed in the HP scsiU320-00 (mpt) Mass Storage Driver Release Notes, before installing the scsiU320-00 bundle containing the mpt driver.

  2. Use the swlist command to see which patches are already installed on the system. If no patches are required, go to step 4.

  3. Install any necessary patches.

  4. Install the scsiU320-00 software bundle for the HP-UX operating system version you are running:

To install the software from the HP-UX application CD, insert the CD into the appropriate drive and enter the swinstall command. Next, follow the on-screen menu to complete the installation.

If you download the scsiU320-00 bundle from the HP Software Depot, it can be installed using the Software Distributor (SD) tool. The SD is used to install and remove software on HP-UX host systems.

The instructions for using the SD to install or remove the drivers, utilities, and manpages for the A7173A adapter can be downloaded at the HP Software Depot, see “Locating A7173A Adapter Software”.

Files Contained in the scsiU320-00 Bundle

The scsiU320-00 bundle contains several files that the Software Distributor (SD) will copy to the appropriate directories on the host system.

If you are concerned that the installation is not complete, use the swverify command to confirm the software has been properly installed. Use the swlist command to display the files that have been installed. It is not necessary to run these commands, unless it becomes necessary to troubleshoot the A7173A adapter installation.
