Configuring an Open SCSI Device

Adding an Open SCSI Device

The ADD SCSI Command (page 14-38) adds an Open SCSI device to the system

configuration database:

1. Physically install the device.

2. Based on the manufacturer documentation, verify the SCSI ID of the device is the

same as the configured SCSIID value.

3. Add the device to the system, specifying its group, module, and slot:

-> ADD SCSI $S11500, SENDTO STORAGE, &

-> PRIMARYLOCATION (11,1,50)

For Open SCSI devices, the name convention is $Sggssi, where gg is the group

number, ss is the slot number, and i is the SCSI ID.

4. Verify the configuration:

-> INFO $S11500

5. See Starting an Open SCSI Device on page 12-11.

Adding a Similar Open SCSI Device to This System

To add another Open SCSI device similar to an existing device, use the LIKE attribute:

-> ADD SCSI $S11501, LIKE $S11500, PRIMARYLOCATION (11,1,51)

Adding a Similar Open SCSI Device to Another System

To configure the same or a similar Open SCSI device on another system, create a

command file by using the OBEYFORM attribute of the INFO DISK command. You

can copy this file to another system or add it to different configuration file on the current

system.
