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:

Confirming the PDC Version

Confirm the PDC version before you configure SCSI parameters. If you do not have the correct PDC, the BCH menus will not interact with the A7173A adapter properly. To confirm the PDC version, follow these steps:

  1. From the BCH Main Menu, enter in to display the Information Menu.

  2. From the Information Menu, enter fv to display the PDC version (system firmware). For example:

    FIRMWARE INFORMATION
                                                PDC ICM      PDC Utils
    Cell   Cab/Slot   PDC Ver   PDC Date Code   Layout Rev   XFace Rev
    ----   --------   -------   -------------   ----------   ---------
     3      0/3       17.006       43.46          002          000
  3. Compare the installed PDC version with the recommended PDC version to use the A7173A adapter with your system. For recommended PDC (System Firmware) versions, see the HP Ultra320 SCSI Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix, at:

    http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html#SCSI%20Host%20Bus%20Adapters

If you do not have the correct PDC version on your system, contact your HP support representative for instructions on updating the PDC.

Determining Path, Bus, and Slot Information

In order to configure the A7173A adapter settings, you must determine the path, bus number, and slot number of each A7173A adapter that you want to configure. To determine the path, bus, and slot information, follow these steps:

  1. From the BCH Main Menu, enter in to display the Information Menu.

    TIP: To return to the BCH Main Menu from other BCH menus, enter main.
  2. From the Information Menu, enter io to display I/O interface information. Example 3-2 shows the information for a typical system:

Setting and Confirming the Data Transfer Rate

Use 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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 Firmware

If 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:

  1. Download the software from the Business Support Center:

    1. Go to the Business Support Center website:

      http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport

    2. Click Download drivers and software

    3. Search for A7173A.

    4. Click the link for the adapter in the search results.

    5. Click the link for “cross-operating system software,” or similar.

    6. Click the Download>> link for the EFI Boot Services Driver.

  2. 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 Utility

To 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.
  1. To reboot the system, enter this command from the system prompt:

    # /usr/sbin/shutdown -ry now

    The system reboots.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
  4. 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:

------------------------------------------------------------------
Select All        Back

The Flash Part column indicates whether the EFI utility can update the firmware of a SCSI controller. A value of No in this column indicates the EFI utility cannot be used to update firmware for that controller. In Example 3-8, the first SCSI controller listed is a Core-IO controller, as indicated by its description and the value of XX in the Slot column. You cannot use the EFI utility to update the firmware for Core-IO SCSI controllers. The EFI utility can only perform firmware updates on SCSI controllers that are attached to host bus adapters installed in PCI slots.

The SCSI Firmware and EFI Driver columns display the versions of the SCSI firmware and EFI driver that are currently running on the controller.

To update the SCSI firmware or EFI driver on an A7173A adapter, use the arrow keys to highlight the SCSI controller attached to the A7173A adapter that you want to update, then press Enter. The EFI utility will display a directory listing from which you can select the firmware image file, such as in Example 3-9:
