Checking the Automatic Configuration of Storage Adapters
When you physically install an adapter, it is automatically added to the system
configuration database. The system assigns the fabric based on the slot number:
•
X fabric: slot 50, 51, or 53
•
Y fabric: slot 52, 54, or 55
Naming Conventions for Storage Adapters
The system derives the name of the adapter by combining the name of the storage
subsystem manager process ($ZZSTO) with the adapter type (PMF, IOMF, or SNDA)
and the physical location of the adapter.
Example
1. Physically install the device.
2. Use the INFO ADAPTER Command on page 14-80 to determine the name of the
storage adapter. For example:
•
A PMF CRU located in group 04, module 1, slot 50 is on the X fabric and is
assigned the name:
$ZZSTO.#PMF.GRP-4.MOD-1.SLOT-50
•
An IOMF CRU located in group 21, module 1, slot 52 is on the Y fabric and is
assigned the name:
$ZZSTO.#IOMF.GRP-21.MOD-1.SLOT-52
•
A ServerNet/DA CRU located in group 01, module 1, slot 53 is on the X fabric
and is assigned the name:
ADAPTER $ZZSTO.#SNDA.GRP-1.MOD-1.SLOT-53
3. Use the STATUS ADAPTER Command (page 14-118) to verify the adapter is
available and ready to use.
4. If a problem occurs, see Troubleshooting Adapter Installation on page 11-22.
