Appendix J Configuring an HP Server Running the HP-UX Operating Environment J-3
J.2 Accessing the Firmware Application
From an HP Server Running HP-UX
The RAID controller can be configured from the host system by means of terminal
emulators such as cu or Kermit. These instructions show the use of Kermit. For
information about cu, see cu(1).
Note – You can also monitor and configure a RAID array over an IP network with
the Sun StorEdge Configuration Service program after you assign an IP address to
the array. For details, see “Setting Up Out-of-Band Management Over Ethernet” on
page 4-20 and refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Configuration Service User’s Guide.
To access the controller firmware through the serial port, perform the following
steps:
1. Use a null modem serial cable to connect the COM port of the RAID array to an
unused serial port on your host system.
A null modem cable has serial signals swapped for connecting to a standard serial
interface.
Note – A DB9-to-DB25 serial cable adapter is included in your package contents to
connect the serial cable to a DB25 serial port on your host if you do not have a DB9
serial port.
