Page|7

Preface

Audience and Assumptions

 The audience is assumed to be junior to mid/level system administrators who are not

necessarily familiar with HP-UX. The user is:

o Already trained on the usage of the Dell Compellent Storage or storage has already

been allocated; this is not covered here.

o Familiar with switch zoning or the zoning is already accomplished as this is not covered

here.

o Familiar with the documents referenced in the Introduction section below.

o Registered with and has access to the HP Support Center (formerly HP ITRC, located

here http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/). Registration is free, but

access to software updates and the patch database would require the registration of a

properly licensed and valid Support Contract ID.

 Firmware and/or EFI levels on all hardware (servers/HBAs/etc.) are within six months of

current levels.

 HP-UX 11i environment is patched to a reasonable level (i.e., QPK patch sets are not more than

six months old OR last known best patch set are installed in the case of EOL software (i.e. HP-

UX 11iv1, Dec 2006).

 All statements contained herein are based upon a test platform which consists of one (1) HP-UX

Itanium rx3600 server (with 4 processors, 16GB RAM, 4x 1000bT network ports, AD193A FC HBA

and AD194A FC HBA), built with HP-UX 11i v2 and Dec 2010 Support Plus installed.

Purpose

This document provides an overview and outlines the recommended Best Practices, Tips and Tricks, as

advised by Dell Compellent when using its Storage Center products (v5.4.x, v5.5.x and higher) in and

with HP-UX 11i environments (both ia64 and PA-RISC architectures).

Important Notes

 With Dell Compellent Storage Center v5.3.x and older and HP-UX 11.00, 11i v1 and 11i v2,

device addressing is limited to 8 LUNs per HBA, with LUN IDs numbered 0 to 7. There must be

a LUN 0 and you cannot skip LUN 0 under any circumstance!

 HP-UX 11.00, HP-UX 11i v1 and HP-UX 11i v2 do not have native multi-path Input/Output (MPIO)

capabilities; redundant link failover is built in to the native Logical Volume Manager and is

called “PVLinks”. This is discussed both here and in other Dell Compellent documents.

 HP-UX 11i v3 has native MPIO capabilities; referred to as the “Agile” device naming system.

 Please check for and review any Copilot Service Technical Alerts (CSTA) for your specific

Operating System at Dell Compellent’s Knowledge Center BEFORE attempting any configuration

additions or changes.
