SCSI Initiator Menu
This option allows for setting up the SCSI Initiator.
Figure 7-15. SCSI initiator menu
– Select 1 to select the primary SCSI Initiator ID. This is the ID for the SCSI device that
request operations from other SCSI devices known as targets. This should be a unique ID
on the bus. This value is initially blank and the user must enter a integer value in the range
of 0-15 prior to saving the configuration to the VT5900-SA.
– Select 2 to enable/disable an alternate SCSI Initiator ID.
– Select 3 to select an alternate SCSI Initiator ID. This should be a unique ID on the bus.
The default value is 6. This option is used to enhance the performance of status (“agent”)
commands issued to a serial device.
Device Mapping
This option allows the user to manipulate maps and associate selected host with a particular map.
Each physical port/bus on the system has at least an Indexed map and Auto Assigned map. In
addition, there is a SCC Map on the FCP port. Each map has a unique name and map ID. User may
rename all maps, except for ‘Indexed’, ‘Auto Assigned’, and ‘SCC Map’. The map that is set to be
current must always contain valid information, since many of the operations on the map menu are
executed against this map.
