Supporting the AlphaServer Console for Tru64 UNIX
The following sections describe how to support the AlphaServer Console for Tru64
UNIX when you are attaching to a storage unit with fibre-channel adapters.
Supported microcode levels for the HP Tru64 UNIX host system
This topic lists the supported storage unit microcode levels when you attach to an
HP AlphaServer Tru64 UNIX host system.
Support for the AlphaServer console that recognizes the storage unit LUNs with
fibre is available for the current version of the storage unit that is LMC. To
determine which level of LMC is running on the storage unit, type telnet xxxxx,
where xxxxx is the storage unit cluster name.
Figure 6 on page 29 shows an example of the output from the telnet command.
