Updating Hard Disk Drive And Adapter Microcode; Problem Determination - IBM SA23-1325-01 Installation And Using Manual

If the Dual Channel SCSI RAID Enablement Card did install correctly, the following is an example of
the data that displays on your screen:
sisioa0 Available 1H-08
sisraid0 Available 1H-08-ff
You may also see a message on your screen that shows the non-RAID adapter that existed before the
integrated SCSI controller was converted to a RAID adapter, sisscsia0, is now Defined instead of
Available, as shown:
sisscsia0 Defined 1H-08
3. To remove the non-RAID adapter, type:
rmdev -Rdl sisscsia0
Press Enter.
4. Type:
lsdev -C | grep scsi
Press Enter.
If the Dual Channel SCSI RAID Enablement Card did install correctly, the following is an example of
the data that displays on your screen:
scsi4 Available 1H-08-00
scsi5 Available 1H-08-01
If the message on your screen indicates that your adapter is Defined instead of Available, shut down
your machine. Check the Dual Channel SCSI RAID Enablement Card to ensure it is installed correctly.
Go to Chapter 4, "Installing the Dual Channel SCSI RAID Enablement Card," on page 7, then return to
this section and repeat steps 1 and 2.
Note: If the message on your screen indicates that your adapter is Defined a second time, contact
your service representative.

Updating Hard Disk Drive and Adapter Microcode

Disk drives attached to this RAID adapter must contain the latest microcode level.
The latest microcode level for your drive model and Dual Channel SCSI RAID Enablement Card can be
found at the Download pSeries and RS/6000 Microcode Updates Web site:
https://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/mdownload/download.html.
The drive microcode download you need should match the name of one of the drive model numbers
located under the DASD Microcode listing found on the Web site. The drive machine type and model of
the drive you are updating can be identified by reading its VPD (Vital Product Data). Similarly, the name of
the Dual Channel SCSI RAID Enablement Card microcode download you need can be found under the
Adapter Microcode listing on the Web site.

Problem Determination

If you encounter any problems with the adapter after the installation, refer to your system unit
documentation for information about running diagnostics or other problem-determination procedures. Refer
to the PCI-X SCSI RAID Controller Reference Guide for AIX, order number SA23-1323.
