Preconfiguration Information
The choice of SCSI target ID numbers is limited. Assuming the maximum number
of targets per channel on the particular controller is MAX_TGT, the SCSI target
IDs on a given channel should range from 0 to (MAX_TGT – 1). See the vendor
documentation for more information.
SCSI target IDs on one channel can be repeated on other channels.
Example 1: The 5-channel models support a maximum of four targets per channel,
that is, MAX_TGT = 4. Therefore, the SCSI target IDs on a given channel should
range from 0 to 3.
Example 2: The 3-channel models support a maximum of seven targets per channel,
that is, MAX_TGT = 7. Therefore, the SCSI target IDs on a given channel should
range from 0 to 6.
Known Problems and Limitations
If a SCSI disk drive is not defined to be part of any physical pack within a system
drive, it is automatically labeled as a standby drive. If any SCSI disk drive within
a system drive fails, data on a standby drive may be lost due to the standby
