Introduction Compaq’s VAX™-SCSI™ Ultra SCSI host adapters for the Digital/Compaq’s VAX™ system platform bring state of the art SCSI performance and connectivity to the VAX™ system line. Compaq’s VAX™-SCSI adapters allow direct connection of Wide (16 bit) differential UltraSCSI disks, tapes and RAID controllers, increasing overall system performance and storage capacity. This manual will serve as a step by step guide during the installation of your VAX-SCSI host adapter in your computer.
Documentation Organization This manual is organized into the following sections: Adapter Specification Adapter Configuration BIOS and Firmware Configuration Software Drivers Configuration Utilities 10
Adapter Specification Overview The Compaq VAX™-SCSI Wide Ultra SCSI Host is based on the LSI 53C875 SCSI controller chip. This chip includes the following: • Onboard RISC processor • Internal 512Byte FIFO • Internal 4Kbyte Script RAM • One interrupt per I/O scripts IntraServer’s SCSI script implementation on the Symbios (LSI Logic) 53C875 SCSI processor offloads the CPU to deliver higher efficiency and lower CPU utlization.
IntraServer has implemented a port naming convention for SCSI devices on PKWdriver to maximize the number of SCSI devices that can be used in a cluster without being limited by the SCSI naming convention implemented by OpenVMS. The driver can optionally be set to name the SCSI ports PKW (default), PKX, PKY, or PKZ. This is done so that in cluster applications the SCSI devices on one host system will not conflict with the SCSI devices on another system with the same allocation class.
Restrictions The following restrictions apply when using the VAX SCSI option in certain systems.
Adapter Installation Termination Compaq VAX™-SCSI Ultra SCSI Host adapters include on-board Differential SCSI drivers and termination. The Comapq adapter is always at the end of the SCSI chain, and therefore always must terminate the SCSI bus. An external SCSI Connector and cabling is provided for connection to external SCSI devices.
Installing the VAX-SCSI Host Adapter Preparing your System The instructions in this section must be followed regardless of your system type. Once you have completed these general procedures, skip to the section below that best describes your system type and configuration.

Configuring the SCSI Bus Some basic SCSI principles must be applied in order to configure the SCSI bus on your system correctly. These are: Termination The SCSI bus must be terminated at both ends, and only at the ends. Configure the termination on your VAX-SCSI adapter using the configuration information in the preceding chapter. Refer to the documentation for each device on the SCSI bus, to ensure: 1. Devices at the ENDS of the bus have TERMINATION ENABLED (or installed) 2.
Cabling SCSI Devices Compaq’s VAX™-SCSI adapters support up to 7 devices per SCSI channel. All devices must be Differential SCSI (HVD), and can include Disks, Tapes and RAID devices. Compaq’s SCSI adapters have been qualified with Compaq’s StorageWorks family of storage devices. Devices must be configured external to the system enclosure. Compaq’s VAX™-SCSI adapter is designed to allow SCSI bus lengths up to 25 Meters.
Connecting External SCSI Devices Optional cables are available from Compaq for all external devices. See the cable selection table in this guide to determine the correct cable for your application.
Device Drivers for OpenVMS™ IntraServer’s OpenVMS™ driver enables the use of Ultra SCSI Differential disks, tapes and RAID enclosures, such as Compaq’s StorageWorks line of disk enclosures, to maximize the VAX™ system’s I/O throughput and storage capacity. IntraServer’s OpenVMS™ drivers are optimized for minimum load on the system processor(s) by use of a loadable SCRIPT to handle low level SCSI operations and minimize the number of interrupt requests to the system.

time, answer NO to the following question: * Do you want this procedure to automatically start the drivers? [YES]? In order to start the IntraServer SCSI support on this system SYS$SYSTEM:CONFIG_PCI must be run each time the system boots. IntraServer recommends that CONFIG_PCI is run from the SYS$MANGER:SYCONFIG.COM procedure so that your SCSI devices are made available during the normal boot process. * Do you want this procedure to modify SYCONFIG.
IntraServer support for SCSI Logical Units (DKW101, DKW102...) is Optional, because some older SCSI devices do not support LUNs. * Do you want to support SCSI Logical Units? [NO]? y IntraServer VAX SCSI adapters default to a port letter of "W" and therefore devices will be named as follows: Device Name | SCSI ID | LUN --------------+-----------+-----DKW100 | 1 | 0 DKW101 | 1 | 1 DKW102 | 1 | 2 DKWnnn | | . | | . | | DKW200 | 2 | 0 DKW300 | 3 | 0 DKWnnn | | . | | .
