HP A6829A PCI Dual Channel Ultra160 SCSI Host Bus Adapter Service and User Guide (May 2003)

Installing the A6829A Adapter

Verifying Installation

Chapter 260

• SCSI C1010—The type of HBA (SCSI) and the type of Ultra160

controller (C1010).

• Ultra160—The HBA’s maximum data transfer rate. This can be

Ultra160, Ultra2, Ultra, Fast, or Async. You should keep the

following in mind:

— This is not the actual transfer rate, but the maximum transfer

rate set for the HBA.

— This is either the ﬁrmware default or the rate set through the

BCH menus, unless you attach an SE device, which causes the

entire bus to change to a transfer rate of Ultra (see “Performance

Tuning” on page 13).

• Wide—The HBA’s bus width. This can be Wide or Narrow.

• LVD—The HBA’s bus type. This can be LVD or Single-Ended. If no

bus type is shown, then the SCSI channel is disabled.

• A6829-60101—The HBA’s HP part number.

Step 4. In addition, in the ioscan output, the ctl lines show the adapter’s SCSI

ID in its hardware path (shown in bold in the example below, for

highlighting purposes):

ctl 0 0/0/10/0/0.7.0 sctl CLAIMED DEVICE Initiator

/dev/rscsi/c0t7d0

ctl 1 0/0/10/0/1.7.0 sctl CLAIMED DEVICE Initiator

/dev/rscsi/c1t7d0

Step 5. Verify that the devices you attached to the adapter are present in the

ioscan output. For example, a partial list may look like this:

disk 10 0/0/1/0/1.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE SEAGATE ST39103LC

/dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0

disk 11 0/0/1/0/1.2.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE SEAGATE ST39103LC

/dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0

disk 45 0/2/1/0/1.8.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 18.2GST318404LC

/dev/dsk/c9t8d0 /dev/rdsk/c9t8d0

disk 46 0/2/1/0/1.10.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 18.2GST318404LC

/dev/dsk/c9t10d0 /dev/rdsk/c9t10d0
