Installing L&TT for HP-UX
HP-UX installation prerequisites
Software dependencies/prerequisites
Devices do not need to be claimed by the operating
system with ioscan for L&TT to access them.
•
•
The sctl driver must be installed for L&TT to access the
device you want to test. L&TT builds its own
pass-through SCSI device files using the sctl driver, so
that driver must be installed; however, L&TT does not
need the operating system to list any of the devices as
"CLAIMED." They may be listed that way (if the
appropriate driver is installed), but they don't need to
be for L&TT to fully access them (beginning with L&TT
v3.3).
•
Devices must NOT be listed as "NO HARDWARE" in
ioscan. If the device you want to test with L&TT is listed
as "NO HARDWARE" in ioscan, the communication
path between the host and the device is not working
and must be fixed before L&TT will be able to
communicate with the device.
Installation procedure for HP-UX and Linux
To install L&TT for HP-UX and Linux:
1.
Log in as root.
2.
Navigate to the temporary directory: cd /tmp
3.
Download or copy the L&TT tar file, hp_ltt
to this directory. If you are copying the file from a different location, enter the following
(substitute the directory in which the file currently resides for<directory name>):cp /
4.
Un-tar the L&TT tar file: tar -xvf hp_ltt
5.
Run the install script in the /tmp directory: ./install_hpltt
NOTE:
For Linux, the L&TT installer verifies that the operating system you are installing on
is supported. If the Linux distribution or release is unsupported, the install script displays a
message indicating an installation failure and lists the supported operating systems.
6.
After the software is successfully installed, enter the following commands to remove the /tmp/
ltt
directory and its contents:
cd /tmp
rm -rf ltt
