IBM eserver 7210 Setup And Operator Manual page 19

1. To identify the name and the port of a host system SCSI I/O controller to
which you want to attach the 7210 DVD-RAM Drive, at the system prompt
type
lsdev -C |grep scsi
and then press Enter. A list of controllers displays in the following format. The
names appear in the first column (for example, scsi0 and scsi2 ). The ports
appear in the third column and in the fourth position (highlighted as follows):
scsi0 Available 00-00-0S
scsi2 Available 00-02
Note the name and port of the SCSI I/O controller to which you want to attach the
7210 DVD-RAM Drive (for example, the scsi2 controller on port 2 ).
2. To determine the SCSI address of the SCSI I/O controller that you noted in the
previous step, type
lsattr -El scsix |grep id
(where x equals the last character in the name of the SCSI I/O controller), then
press Enter. The address of the SCSI I/O controller displays in the following
format:
id 7 Adapter card SCSI I
Note the address of the SCSI I/O controller (in this case, 7 ).
3. To identify the SCSI addresses used by all other devices, type
lsdev -Cs scsi
and then press Enter. A list of devices appears in the following format. In the
fourth position of the third column, locate all instances of the port that you
chose in step 1. (The list may contain multiple instances of a port. In the
following example, for port 2 (identified in step 1), there are three instances.)
The addresses of the other SCSI devices appear in the seventh position
(highlighted in the example that follows):
hdisk0 Available 00-00-0S-0,0
hdisk1 Available 00-02-01-2,0
hdisk2 Available 00-02-01-3,0
rmt0 Available 00-02-01-4,0
For the port chosen in step 1, note the addresses of the other SCSI devices attached
to the host system (in this case, for port 2, the addresses are 2 , 3 , and 4 ).
4. Determine an unused SCSI address for the 7210 DVD-RAM Drive (in this case,
0, 1, 5, or 6, because 7 was used by the SCSI I/O controller and 2, 3, and 4 are
used by other devices).
