Verifying the Interconnects and Achieving Hardware RFU
14.3. Installing the CC or CEC Tape
The CC or CEC tape provided with the plateau contains hardware diagnostic tools
(including PING) that are run to verify communications at the 2200 node. The tape you
have depends on the model being installed:
• Model IX4400—CEC500 tape
• Model IX4800/5000/6000 servers on Plateau 2.0 or higher—CC6000
• Model IX4800/5000/6000 servers below Plateau 2.0—CC3000
Notes:
• CC6000 supersedes CC3000 for all configurations at Plateau 2.0. At Plateau 2.0 a
minimum CC6000 level of 2R1 is required. Below Plateau 2.0, a minimum CC3000
level of 1R1 is required, except when the 2200 node is configured for resilient
partitions, then a minimum level of 1R2 is required to execute the PING test for the
second 2200 node.
• Examples shown in this subsection illustrate use of the CEC500 tape.
Follow these steps to install the tape:
1. Enter the following command at the system console:
ST INSTALLPKG
A run (run-id INSPKG) starts and the following messages appear:
INSPKG START
n Install from , DISK, or RSS?
N
2. Press Enter to use the tape default. You are prompted to enter the reel number.
n INSPKG*Enter reel number
n CEC500,TJ,type
3. Because the tape is unlabeled, you can enter any reel number (for example, CEC500).
Also enter the parameters to indicate that the tape is to be assigned as a temporary
unlabeled file (TJ) and to indicate the type of the cartridge device on which the tape
is to be mounted (for example, HICL or HIC51).
Following that entry, you are asked whether you want to install using default modes.
n Install default modes? /N
n
4. Press Enter to install using the default modes. A message asks if you want to register
the INSPKG:
n INSPKG* Register package also? Y/
n
