Determine the SCSI ID required for
each device on the SCSI bus.
Power up the system.
Record the IDs of the SCSI ports on this card.
Setting SCSI IDs Offline
For PA-RISC based systems, you can use the Boot Console Handler
(BCH) menus to set SCSI IDs offline according to the instructions
in the manual HP A7173A PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Host Bus Adapter
Support Guide available at http://docs.hp.com.
For Itanium™ based systems, use EFI
to set the SCSI IDs offline. See the HP A7173A PCI-X Dual Channel
Ultra320 SCSI Host Bus Adapter Support Guide for details.
Setting SCSI IDs Online
For all supported systems (HP Integrity or HP 9000), you can
use the mptconfig command to display and set SCSI IDs online . See the HP
A7173A PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Host Bus Adapter Support Guide for
details.
IMPORTANT: You must not have duplicate SCSI IDs on a SCSI
bus; the system may hang or crash if you have duplicate SCSI IDs
on the same bus.
NOTE: Peripheral device SCSI IDs are typically determined
automatically by the storage enclosure, or they may be set manually
by a switch on the storage enclosure. Refer to the peripheral device
documentation, to determine how the SCSI ID of each peripheral device is
set, and how to change it.
Setting SCSI IDs
You must set each SCSI device and its corresponding port on
the SCSI card to a separate SCSI ID, 0 through 15 for a 16-bit SCSI.
SCSI ID 7 is the preset host adapter setting, giving it the highest
priority on the SCSI bus.
To change this default to a different SCSI address for high
availability (HA) systems, you must use the Boot Code Handler or
BCH. You must invoke the appropriate commands in the SCSI section
of the BCH and change the address electronically to whatever is
required for the HA configuration being used.
Peripheral device SCSI IDs are usually set with jumpers or
a switch on the peripheral. Refer to the peripheral manufacturer’s
instructions to determine the ID of each device and how to change
it. You must have no duplication of SCSI IDs on a SCSI bus.
Upon power up, any error messages will appear on
the terminal display or system console. You can also use the dmesg command to retrieve startup messages later.
Verify that the Ethernet LAN connector’s
Link LED is on.
When the system is up, log in as root and verify that the card and its hardware path
are displayed by executing the command: ioscan.
