Checking HyperFabric Installation Prerequisites

Before installing HyperFabric, check to make sure the following hardware and software

prerequisites have been met:

✓ Check the HP HyperFabric Release Note for any known problems, required patches,

or other information needed for installation.

✓ Confirm the /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, and /sbin directories are in your PATH by

logging in as root and using the echo $PATH command.

✓ Confirm the HP-UX operating system is the correct version. Use the uname -a

command to determine the HP-UX version.

See the HP HyperFabric Release Note for information about the required operating

system versions.

✓ If you are installing an HF2 switch, confirm that you have four screws with

over-sized heads.

✓ Confirm there are cables of the proper length and type (copper or fibre) to make each

of the connections in the fabric (adapter to adapter, adapter to switch, or switch to

switch).

IMPORTANT: Copper adapters and switch ports can only be connected to other

copper adapters and switch ports and fibre adapters and switch ports can only be

connected to other fibre adapters and switch ports.

✓ Confirm there is at least one loopback plug for testing the adapters and switches (a

copper loopback plug is shipped with each HF1 adapter and a fibre loopback plug

[HP part number A6384-67004] is shipped with each HF2 switch).

✓ Confirm the necessary tools are available to install the HyperFabric switch

mounting hardware. Also check the HP 9000 system documentation to determine if

any additional tools may be required for component installation.

✓ Confirm software media is correct.

✓ Create a map of the fabric (optional).

✓ Confirm HP-UX super-user privileges are available, they will be necessary to

complete the HyperFabric installation.

The first HyperFabric installation step is installing HyperFabric adapter cards in the

nodes. Proceed to the next section “Installing HyperFabric Adapters”.
