NVRAM SCSI Parameters Do Not Match
On hp servers rp7410, rp8400, and superdome only, you might see the
following message after you have installed the A6829A adapter (it would
be displayed at the BCH “Main Menu”):
ERROR: PDH NVRAM and I/O card NVRAM SCSI parameters
do not match for path
hw_path
Search aborted. The SCSI parameters for this card
must be corrected from the BCH Service menu.
To correct this problem, follow these steps:
Step 1. If already at the “Main Menu,” type ser (for “Service Menu”); go to step
2.
If not already at the “Main Menu,” type main (to return to the “Main
Menu”), type ser (for “Service Menu”), then go to step 2.
Step 2. In the “Service Menu,” type the following command:
scsi path default
where path is the HBA’s path (the hw_path in the error message).
This sets all of the SCSI parameters for the path to their default values,
which will correct the unmatching SCSI parameters.
Step 3. Type main to get back to the “Main Menu.”
