C H A P T E R Installing, Connecting, and Testing the Host Adapter This chapter describes the Sun StorEdge PCI/PCI-X Dual Ultra320 SCSI host adapter and explains how to install it into a host, connect it to SCSI storage devices, test the installation, and boot from a disk drive connected to the host adapter.
Features The Sun StorEdge PCI/PCI-X Dual Ultra320 SCSI host adapter is a dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI to PCI/PCI-X host adapter that provides two Ultra320 SCSI channels. Sun StorEdge PCI/PCI-X Dual Ultra320 SCSI Host Adapter FIGURE 1-1 The host adapter includes the following features: Two independent Ultra320 SCSI channels with support for SCSI speeds of up to ■...
512K bytes of Flash ROM for booting in a Sun SPARC or a Sun Solaris x86 OS ■ processor-based host system A 64-bit universal type board edge connector that provides: ■ 64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X interface compatibility ■ 32-bit/64-bit PCI interface backwards compatibility ■...
To Prepare for Hardware Installation ▼ 1. Read and observe the safety information at the back of this book. See“Safety Agency Compliance Statements” on page 2. Install the Solaris 8 2/04 (minimum required version) operating system on the host. 3. Install the Solaris 8 2/04 (minimum required version) recommended patch cluster on the host.

Caution – Do not disconnect the power cord from the system or from the wall outlet. This connection provides the ground path necessary to safely remove and install the printed circuit boards and components without damaging them. 8. Choose a PCI-X (or PCI) slot for installing the host adapter. To maximize performance, use the host system’s 64-bit, 66/133-MHz PCI/PCI-X slot slot for installing the host adapter.

9. Unpack the host adapter. You should have the following items: Sun StorEdge PCI/PCI-X Dual Ultra320 SCSI host adapter (Figure 1-1) ■ Antistatic wrist strap ■ Note – Leave the host adapter in the protective bag until you are ready to install it. J6 connector J4 connector J3 (Channel B)
To Install the Host Adapter ▼ 1. Open the system. Refer to your system documentation for information about how to open the system. 2. Attach the wrist strap between your wrist and a metal part of the system chassis. 3. For systems with a standby-type power switch, disconnect the power cord. Standby-type power switches have a The wrist strap between you and the chassis provides the ground path necessary to safely remove and install the printed circuit boards and components without...
Connecting the Host Adapter Before you connect the host adapter to the storage device(s), do the following: Refer to the release notes for the lists of supported cables and storage devices. ■ Downloading the release notes is described in page viii.
Testing the Host Adapter You should test the host adapter installation using the probe-scsi-all command and, if the newly attached device is a disk array, with the SunVTS software. To Test the Installation Using the probe-scsi- ▼ all Command 1. If you have disconnected the power cable, reconnect it. 2.
To Test the Installation With the SunVTS ▼ Software Use the the SunVTS software to test a disk on a newly-attached disk array, to verify that the host adapter is properly installed. For details about running the the SunVTS software, refer to the SunVTS 5.X User’s Guide and the SunVTS 5.X Test Reference Manual.
Booting the Host Adapter The Sun StorEdge PCI/PCI-X Dual Ultra320 SCSI host adapter uses the mpt driver, which is included with the Solaris operating system beginning with the Solaris 8 2/04 OS release and the Solaris 9 4/04 OS release. This enables you to “warm” boot directly from a hard disk connected to the host adapter if that disk has at least the Solaris 8 2/04 OS release or the Solaris 9 4/04 OS release installed.
