The HP-UX Host Utilities help you manage ONTAP storage attached to an HP-UX host. NetApp strongly recommends installing the HP-UX Host Utilities, but it isn't mandatory. The utilities improve management and assist NetApp customer support in gathering information about your configuration.

The HP-UX Host Utilities support the following environments:

  • Native Microsoft Multipath I/O (MPIO)

  • Veritas Dynamic Multipathing (DMP)

Before you begin

For reliable operation, use the Interoperability Matrix Tool to verify that your iSCSI, FC, or FCoE configuration is supported.

Steps

  1. Log in to your HP-UX host host.

  2. Download the HP-UX Host Utilities file netapp_hpux_host_utilities_6.0_ia_pa.depot.gz from the NetApp Support Site to your HP-UX host.

  3. Decompress the netapp_hpux_host_utilities_6.0_ia_pa.depot.gz file:

    gunzip netapp_hpux_host_utilities_6.0_ia_pa.depot.gz

    The system places the extracted software in the directory where you uncompressed the depot file.

  4. Install the software:

    swinstall -s /depot_path

    depot_path provides the path and name of the depot file.

    The swinstall command runs an installation script that verifies the status of your HP-UX setup. If your system meets the requirements, this script installs the sanlun utility and diagnostic scripts in the /opt/NetApp/santools/bin directory.

  5. Verify the installation:

    sanlun version
