This section describes how to migrate your HP Alpha system to CHARON-AXP. We will use a sample HP AlphaServer ES40 system running OpenVMS to demonstrate the migration procedure. The This chapter also contains some instructions for Tru64 UNIX, but it mainly concentrates on how to migrate OpenVMS hosts. The process is similar for all CHARON-AXP models.
...
| Info |
|---|
In case of Tru64 UNIX V5 running on the host system it is recommended to use the following commands to get information on the host configuration: | Command | Description |
|---|
| # # /sbin/hwmgr view devices
| Get detailed information about the host hardware configuration | # /sbin/hwmgr show scsi
| Get specific information about the host SCSI controllers and attached disks | | # # /sbin/hwmgr view hierarchy
| Get information about the host controllers |
Please reference to the Tru64 UNIX User's Guide for more details. |
The source HP Alpha peripheral configuration in this example is:
| Controller | Devices on controller | Description |
|---|
| KZPBA | -DKA0 (RZ28)
-DKA100 (RZ22)
-DKA200 (RZ23)
-MKA600 (tape) | SCSI disk/tape controller |
| KGPSA-CA | -DGA0 (RZ24) | FC disk controller |
| OPA0 |
| System console |
Acer Labs 1543C IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM adapter | -DQA0 | IDE CD-ROM controller |
| EWA0 |
| Network interface, MAC address: "F8-D1-11-00-67-E6" |

So the collected information about the HP AlphaServer ES40 system is:

#
set rom system_serial_number = SN01234567
#
# Specify RAM size: 512 Mb

#
# Map OPA0 console to the xtem from which CHARON-AXP runs
