Hi Gurus,
Can anyone tell me the Hardware RAID configuration in HP Unix rp3440 model server containing HP UX B.11.11 OS version.
Thanks in Advance.
BR,
Prasanth
I dont know what you are talking of since an RP3440 is a small rack server, the hardware depends on what options you ordered: in standard it has a Dual channel Ultra160 SCSI controller and can hold 3 internal disks so it limits RAID choices dont you think?
Usually you would have 2 internal disks each on a separate channel for system purpose in mirror (RAID 1) and SAN Fiber channel HBAs for the rest...
Addendum...
You could use this command to see: Here its my RP5450...
ant:/home/vbe $ ioscan -funC ext_bus

Dear vbe,
Thanks for your reply. Actually iam a newbie to HP Unix.
Im sorry for double thread.

do an
ioscan -fnC Disk
Generally the 2 internal drives are mirrored for the OS installation,
We have had a couple different configurations of RAID drives for data, on an N74xx we had a SCSI RAID array using a 4SI RAID card, when the RAID reached ESOL, we migrated to HBA Cards and mounted disks from our SAN.
I would determine what cards you are using, the 3440 is a newer box, generally you would likely mount to a SAN, But have your internals for OS.
11.11 is an older release, I believe the RP is a PA/RISC, you might consider upgrading OS to 11.20 at some point.
It the 3440 is Itanium HP recommends 11.31
Personally I use the ITRC forums a lot when it comes to HP products, if you have specific questions, you should address them there.
