To make any changes, modify the entries as described below and then select the Submit button.
• Primary Initiator ID must be assigned an Initiator ID, which is the ID for the SCSI device
that requests operations from other SCSI devices, or targets. This ID should be a unique ID on
the bus. The default setting is 7.
• Discovery enables/disables device discovery on this SCSI bus.
• Discovery Delay is the time the VT5900-SA waits after a power-up or reboot process (which
typically takes approximately 30 seconds) before starting to discover SCSI devices.
HP recommends you set the value to at least 2 seconds to ensure all SCSI devices complete
their individual power-ups. However, the user should be aware this delay is added to the time
it takes for the VT5900-SA to reboot and Visual Manager to be active again.
• Bus Reset on Boot enables/disables automatic discovery of SCSI devices after an initial
power up or reboot of the VT5900-SA.
• Override Settings are provided to enhance interoperability with some storage devices that
require special consideration during setup of the VT5900-SA configuration menus. To access
the Overrides Settings, select the Go button.
