If the A7173A adapter is installed in a supported HP 9000 system, use the scsi command, accessed from the BCH menus, to set or confirm the SCSI parameters offline. If the A7173A adapter is installed in a supported HP Integrity® system, a menu driven Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) utility is available to set or confirm the SCSI parameters offline. See “Using the EFI Utility on HP Integrity Systems”. Using the BCH Menus on HP 9000 Systems |  |
The Boot Console Handler (BCH) consists of a series of menus from which various system administration tasks can be performed offline on HP 9000 systems. The BCH command syntax and output are similar, but not identical, across all HP 9000 systems. The examples used in this document may not be exactly the same as what you see using the BCH menus on your system.  |  |  |  |  | NOTE: For important details about each of the SCSI parameters that can be set offline using the BCH menus, see:The bus width parameter cannot be set offline on rp24xx and rp54xx systems. |  |  |  |  |
The BCH main menu displays during the boot initialization sequence, after the hardware initializes on the console, but before the system has booted (provided autoboot is disabled). Example 3-1 shows a typical BCM Main Menu: Example 3-1 The BCH Main Menu ---- Main Menu ---------------------------------------------------------------

Setting and Confirming the Data Transfer RateUse the scsi command from the BCH Service Menu to set or confirm the data transfer rate and other user-configurable SCSI parameters. The BCH command syntax and output are not identical across all HP 9000 systems. To view the scsi command syntax for your system, enter help scsi from the BCH service menu. Example 3-3 shows a typical scsi command help screen: Example 3-3 Typical BCH scsi Command Help Screen  |
Service Menu: Enter command > help scsi
---- SCSI Help ---------------------------------------------------------------
SCSI displays the SCSI controller parameters. SCSI is also used to set
parameters for a SCSI controller at a specified path. These parameters
are used by the operating system SCSI driver.
If the value of any parameter is not known or cannot be determined, then
a firmware suggested default will be used by the SCSI driver.
An exception is for the termination. If the SCSI card does not support
SCSI Parameters, then the "term" setting will be displayed as UNKNOWN.
In this case, the termination is not programmatically controlled.
SCSI Display all SCSI controller parms in the PD
SCSI <cell> Display all SCSI controller parms on the cell
SCSI <path> Display SCSI controller parms for the path
SCSI <path> INIT <id> Set initiator id for specified path
SCSI <path> RATE <rate> Set transfer rate for specified path
SCSI <path> TERM <term> Set auto termination for specified path
SCSI <path> WIDTH <width> Set bus width for specified path
SCSI <path> DEFAULT Set a specific path to use default parms
SCSI <path> DELete Delete SCSI controller parms for specified path
SCSI DEFAULT Set all the SCSI devices to use default parms
<cell> is an integer in the range 0..3
<path> is in I/O notation, such as 1/0/2/3/4
<id> is an integer in the range 0..15 Default: 7
<rate> = SLOW, FAST, ULTRA, ULTRA2, ULTRA160, ULTRA320,
or NOLIMIT (where NOLIMIT means use max) Default: max
<width> is either 0, 8, or 16 (where 0 means use max) Default: max
<term> is either ON, OFF, or DEFAULT Default: ON
Short Command for SCSI: SCSI

To confirm the A7173A adapter’s maximum data transfer rate, follow these steps: From the BCH Main Menu, enter ser to display the Service Menu.  |  |  |  |  | TIP: To return to the BCH Main Menu from other BCH menus, enter main. |  |  |  |  |
From the service menu, enter the scsi command, using this syntax: scsi <path> rate Where <path> is the path to the A7173A adapter. Example 3-4 shows a typical command output: Example 3-4 Typical scsi rate Command Output Service Menu: Enter command > scsi 3/0/6/1/0 rate
Path (dec) Initiator ID SCSI Rate Auto Term Bus Width
----------------- ------------ --------- --------- ---------
3/0/6/1/0 6 MAX UNKNOWN MAX |
In Example 3-4, the SCSI data transfer rate (SCSI Rate) is MAX. This is the default setting, which enables the A7173A adapter’s maximum data transfer rate of 320 MB/s. To retain the current data transfer rate, enter main to go back to the BCH Main Menu.
To change the data transfer rate, enter the scsi command from the Service Menu, using the syntax: scsi <path> rate <rate> Where <path> is the path to the A7173A adapter, and <rate> is the target rate setting; see the scsi help screen for acceptable <rate> values for your system. For example, the command to set the rate for the adapter shown in Example 3-4 to Ultra 160 SCSI would be: scsi 3/0/6/1/0 rate ULTRA160 The command to set the rate for the adapter shown in Example 3-4 to MAX (320 MB/s) would be: scsi 3/0/6/1/0 rate NOLIMIT If you change the data transfer rate, HP recommends that you use the scsi <path> rate command to confirm that the rate has changed. When you are satisfied that the maximum data transfer rate is set correctly, enter main to return to the BCH Main Menu.  |  |  |  |  | TIP: Use the scsi command syntax displayed in the scsi help screen to confirm or change other SCSI parameters. |  |  |  |  |
Using the EFI Utility on HP Integrity Systems |  |
If the A7173A adapter is installed in a supported HP Integrity® system, a menu driven Extended Firmware Interface based Parallel SCSI Offline Operations Utility (EFI utility) can be used to set or confirm the SCSI parameters offline. The EFI utility can also be used offline to update the A7173A adapter firmware, save the A7173A adapter firmware to a file, and view the A7173A adapter vital product data (VPD). The executable file name of the EFI utility is: pscsi.efi  |  |  |  |  | NOTE: For important details about each of the SCSI parameters that can be set offline using the EFI utility, see: |  |  |  |  |
Downloading the EFI Driver, EFI Utility, and FirmwareIf you have an HP Offline Diagnostics and Utilities DVD that contains the software, go to “Starting the pscsi Utility.” To download and install the package containing the EFI driver, pscsi utility, and adapter firmware, follow these steps: Download the software from the Business Support Center: Go to the Business Support Center website: http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport Click Download drivers and software Search for A7173A. Click the link for the adapter in the search results. Click the link for “cross-operating system software,” or similar. Click the Download>> link for the EFI Boot Services Driver.
Follow the instructions provided with the download package to copy the files to the correct location on your system and start the pscsi utility.
Starting the pscsi UtilityTo start the pscsi EFI utility, follow these steps:  |  |  |  |  | NOTE: To run the utility from a CD or DVD, the disc containing the pscsi utility must be inserted in a drive when you boot the system, to allow device mapping. |  |  |  |  |
To reboot the system, enter this command from the system prompt: # /usr/sbin/shutdown -ry now |
The system reboots. When the “EFI Boot Manager” menu appears, use the arrow keys to highlight EFI Shell, then press Enter; you must make this selection before the end of the timeout period displayed on the screen. The device mapping table displays. Change to the directory on the EFI partition, CD, or DVD that contains the pscsi EFI utility.  |  |  |  |  | NOTE: If you run the EFI utility from a hard disk and a firmware update fails, these files may not be recoverable. Also, if the hard disk is not accessible, you may not be able to run the EFI utility again to correct the problem. If this happens, obtain a CD or DVD, reboot, and run the EFI utility from a CD or DVD. |  |  |  |  |
From the EFI shell prompt, enter pscsi to start the utility. If the EFI utility finds any LSI Logic 53C1030 SCSI chips in the system (on an A7173A adapter, on any other HBA, or as Core-IO), the pscsi main menu displays: -----------------------------------------------------------------
