6.5.2 Applying Patches for Adapting to Changes of SCSI Host ID [4.3A00]

Make settings so that the system volume can operate normally even if the SCSI host ID of the disk constituting the system volume is changed.

Note

If you do not make this setting, the system may not be able to start when the SCSI host ID is changed due to patch application or hardware failure.

Information

  • SCSI host ID may be changed in the following cases:

    • When an initial RAM disk (initrd) is re-created by patch application

    • When HBA (SCSI card) fails

    • When PCI slot fails

  • With 4.3A10 or later, this setting is not required because the system volume is operated normally even if the SCSI host ID of the disk constituting the system volume is changed.

1) Applying patches

Apply the patch T001689QP-11 or later and T001963QP-11 or later.

See

For details on the application method, see the Update Information Files.

2) Enabling patches

Execute the following command by the superuser authority.

# /etc/opt/FJSVsdx/bin/sdxefi -C -n SDX_DEV_UID_MODE -v 1

Execute the following command, and then confirm that 1 is displayed.

# cat /sys/firmware/efi/vars/SDX_DEV_UID_MODE*/data
3) Rebooting the system

Execute the following command, and then reboot the system.

# shutdown -r now
