SCSI Connections Assigning SCSI Device IDs Assigning SCSI Device IDs Before assigning a SCSI device ID to your drive, you need to check your existing SCSI device IDs. To determine which SCSI device IDs are available for your device, use the ioscan command in a terminal window: 1 Click on the Terminal Control on the Front Panel of your Workspace. Terminal Control A terminal window opens. 2 Move the mouse cursor into the terminal window and single-click the left mouse button. 3 If you are using HP-UX 9.
SCSI Connections Assigning SCSI Device IDs If you are using HP-UX 10.0, enter the following at the prompt: /usr/sbin/ioscan -f After a few moments, the ioscan utility lists all of the SCSI I/O devices it could find. The list appears similar to the following: Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description ================================================================================ bc 0 bc 1 8 ext_bus 0 8/12 c720 CLAIMED INTERFACE target 0 8/12.
SCSI Connections Assigning SCSI Device IDs 4 If you are using HP-UX 9.05 or greater, you can which SCSI IDs are currently in use by looking under the H/W Path heading. The listing 2.0.1 scsi is the built-in SCSI bus controller. For devices connected to the built-in SCSI bus, such as disks, the fourth number is the SCSI ID for that device. For example, the listing 2.0.1.6.0 in the sample device list tells you that there is a SCSI device (a disk) currently using ID 6 on the SCSI bus.
SCSI Connections Assigning SCSI Device IDs Table 22 Single-Ended SCSI Device IDs SCSI Device Drives Device ID (Address) Number (Only 0 through 6 Available) Internal External Internal System Drives: System SCSI Drive(s) CD-ROM Drive (if present, uses ID No.2) __________ N/A 4-mm DDS Tape Drive (if present, uses ID No.
SCSI Connections Assigning SCSI Device IDs 8 CAUTION: Check to see which SCSI device IDs are not used. You may use ID numbers 0 through 6 if they are not already in use. If the default ID on your drive does not conflict with any existing drive IDs, use that ID. If your default address conflicts with an existing drive ID, you need to assign a new SCSI device ID to your drive. Refer to the drive’s installation documentation for information on changing the device ID.
SCSI Connections Connecting to the SCSI Ports Connecting to the SCSI Ports This section describes how to connect to the system SCSI ports (singleended and fast, wide). System SCSI Port Connection The system contains two (2) SCSI connectors: • System Single-Ended SCSI Connector • System Fast, Wide SCSI Connector Figure 47 shows the two SCSI connectors. SCSI cables connect to these ports with a high-density thumb screw connector.
