Software Depot.
1. Go to http://www.software.hp.com
2. Search for “Smart Array”
3. Click Receive for Free.
4. Select the HP-UX version that your system runs, then complete the required registration

Installing Software for Smart Array Series Controllers
The drivers, utilities, and manpages for the Smart Array Series Controllers contained in the RAID-01
bundle downloaded depot can be installed using Software Distributor (SD). SD is a tool for installing
software on HP-UX host systems. SD can also be used to remove software from HP-UX systems. The
RAID-01 bundle is composed of several files that will be copied to the appropriate directories on
the host system. View these files in the /opt/raidsa/bin directory. The instructions for using SD to
install or remove the drivers, utilities, and manpages for the Smart Array series controllers can be
viewed at the HP Software Depot.
Procedure 18 Verifying the Installation
After the system reboots, verify that the installation was successful.
1. Enter the swlist command:
swlist
When running HP-UX 11i v2 the generated output will look like this:
RAID-01 B.11.23.0612 RAID SA; Supptd HW=A7143A/A9890A/A9891A
2. Enter the ioscan -kfnd ciss command:
ioscan -kfnd ciss
If the Smart Array Controller software is installed correctly, the generated output looks similar
to this:
# ioscan -kfnd ciss
