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

Installing the A6829A Adapter

Verifying Installation

Chapter 2 61

The second line under each disk line shows the disk’s device ﬁles

(/dev/... [shown in bold in the example above, for highlighting

purposes]).

TIP When the system boots after installation, the insf command creates the

proper device ﬁles for the “ctl” interfaces (which are usually adapters)

and the SCSI devices attached to the A6829A adapter. Sometimes,

though, it does not create all of the needed device ﬁles.

One situation when this happens is when you attach SCSI disks to the

adapter after the system boots and the adapter is already installed in the

system.

In the ioscan output, if you see a SCSI device listed without the second

line, that means you are missing that device’s device ﬁles. To ﬁx the

problem, issue the insf -e command, which creates all of the device

ﬁles.

For more information about the ioscan command, see the ioscan(1M)

man page.

Refer to your system documentation for information about verifying

system operation.
