this technical update provides the DS-DWZZH-05 configuration information that would appear in Chapter 4 of the TruCluster Software Products Hardware Configuration manual. 1.2 DS-DWZZH Overview The DS-DWZZH series UltraSCSI hubs are SCSI-2 and draft SCSI-3 compliant SCSI 16-bit signal converters capable of data transfer rates of up to 40 MB per second. Cluster member systems and HSZ50 or HSZ70 RAID array controllers are radially connected to the hub ports. A DS-DWZZH UltraSCSI hub: • Improves the r

Figure 2–2: DS-DWZZH-05 Rear View W1 ZK-1448U-AI 2.5 SCSI Bus Termination Power Each host adapter connected to a DS-DWZZH-05 UltraSCSI hub port must supply termination power (termpwr) to enable the termination resistors on each end of the SCSI bus segment. If the host adapter is disconnected from the hub, the port is disabled. Only the UltraSCSI bus segment losing termination power is affected. The remainder of the SCSI bus operates normally. 2.6 DS-DWZZH-05 Indicators The DS-DWZZH-05 has two in

To configure a TruCluster configuration using a DS-DWZZH-05 UltraSCSI hub, follow these steps: 1. Configure and install the DS-DWZZH-05 UltraSCSI hub (Section 2.7.1) 2. Verify that the host adapter termination is installed and cable the host adapter to the DS-DWZZH-05 UltraSCSI hub (Section 2.7.2) 3. Cable the RAID array controller to the hub: • HSZ50 (Section 2.7.3.1) • HSZ70 (Section 2.7.3.2) 2.7.1 Installing the DS-DWZZH-05 UltraSCSI Hub All existing versions of Compaq’s DIGITAL UNIX operating s

• Ensure that no member systems’ host adapter SCSI ID is set at 7 (because the DS-DWZZH-05 uses SCSI ID 7). • Connect a BN38C cable between the host adapter and the appropriate DS-DWZZH-05 UltraSCSI hub port. Each connection forms a SCSI bus segment with the host adapter and the hub. The maximum length of a SCSI bus segment, including cable and internal device bus length, is 25 meters. 2.7.3 Cabling the RAID array Storage Subsystem to the DS-DWZZH-05 UltraSCSI Hub To prepare the storage portion
