Hi,
-----
Summary of the problem: An AlphaServer 1200 using dual KGPSAs is connected
to two 8 port Compaq EL switches. These, in turn, are connected to a pair
of HSG80 controllers in `multibus failover' mode. The AS1200 is unable
to install either Tru64 UNIX 4.0G or 5.1.
-----
We have an AlphaServer 1200, a pair of 8 port switches, a pair of
AlphaServer DS10s and a pair of HSG80 controllers in the following
configuration:
switch1 +---------------------------+ switch2
+---+ | | +---+
| 7 | | +---------------------------+ | 7 |
| | | | | | | |
| 6 ----+ +----|-----+----|-----+ | +--- 6 |

| | | | 0 | 1 | hsg01b | | |
| 4 | | +----|-----+----|-----+ | | 4 |
| | | | | | | |
+-- 3 | +----------+ +-------------------+ | 3 ----+
| | | | | |
| | 2 ----------+ +------------+ +------------+ +------- 2 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 1 | +----- === -----+ | 1 | |

| | 0 | +------------+ +------------+ | 0 | |
| +---+ +---+ |
| +------------+ |
| | | |
+--------------------- -----------------------------------+
| (AS1200) |
+------------+
The HSG80 controllers are in `multibus failover' mode.
The switches are at firmware 2.1.9k, the HSG80s are at Software version
8.6F-1 hardware E12, the AlphaServers are at SRM 5.9, and HBA firmware 3.81A4.
We used `wwidmgr' on the AS1200 to configure the HBAs into `Fabric' mode,
and to add a volume we previously created on the HSG80s.
When we try to boot the OS installation CD (either `Compaq Tru64 UNIX 4.0G
Operating System Volume 1', or `Compaq Tru64 UNIX 5.1 Operating System
Volume 1') we have problems.
The process of booting both OS Vol. 1 CDs never gets to the point
where the installation program is ready to start installing software.
Full logs are attached.
The V4.0G OS Vol. 1 CD exits to a # prompt with the following error message:
INIT: SINGLE-USER MODE
Initializing system for Digital UNIX installation. Please wait...

Welcome to the DIGITAL UNIX Installation Procedure
This procedure installs DIGITAL UNIX onto your system. You will
be asked a series of system configuration questions. Until you
answer all questions, your system is not changed in any way.
During the question and answer session, you can go back to any
previous question and change your answer by entering: history
You can get more information about a question by entering: help

The installation procedure failed or was intentionally exited. To restart
the installation, halt and reboot the system or enter: restart

The V5.1 OS Vol. 1 CD crashes with the following error message:

P00>>>
We have noticed that sometimes the switch ports that the AS1200 is connected
to are in `No_Sync' mode. If they are in this mode, whenever we boot the
V4.0G OS Vol. 1 CD or the V5.1 OS Vol. 1 CD the ports change to
`Online' mode part way through the boot process. After the 4.0G CD returns
to the # prompt, the ports remain in `Online' mode, but after the 5.1 CD
crashes, the ports return to `No_Sync' mode.
We have also noticed that after issuing the `boot DKA400' command,
the AS1200 responds with the following message:
AlphaServer 1200 Console V5.9-5, 8-JAN-2001 10:05:24
CPU 0 booting
could not find controller for device non-existent
device non-existent is invalid
could not find controller for device device
device device is invalid
(boot dka400.4.0.1.1)
At this point, the boot process continues.
We wish to be able to install Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1 onto a volume on the SAN
(ie. a volume on the HSG80 controller combination) which the AS1200 can
use to boot. Is this configuration supported? Can anyone see some obvious
mistake we have made?
