J.1 Setting Up a Serial Port Connection
The RAID controller can be configured by means of a host system running a VT100
terminal emulation program or by a Microsoft Windows terminal emulation
program such as Hyperterminal.
If you are planning to access your array over an IP network or through a terminal
server and only want to connect through a serial port for the initial configuration of
the array, it is not necessary to configure a serial port connection from your HP host.
For convenience, installers frequently perform the initial array configuration using a
serial port on a portable computer.
If you want to use a Microsoft Windows portable computer for this initial array
configuration, see “Setting Up the Serial Port Connection” on page G-2 for Windows
2000 systems or “Setting Up the Serial Port Connection” on page K-2 for Windows
NT systems.
If you prefer to connect through a serial port on your HP server, consult the
hardware information for your HP host system to locate a serial port you can use for
configuring the Sun StorEdge disk array. The system documentation also tells you
what device file to use to access that port. Then set the serial port parameters on the
server. See “Configuring a COM Port to Connect to a RAID Array” on page 4-19 for
the parameters to use.
Note – The next section also shows how to use the Kermit utility to set these
parameters.
Once you have configured your serial port, follow the instructions in the next
section.
