The PCI SSA Multi-Initiator/RAID EL Adapter, the Micro Channel SSA
Multi-Initiator/RAID EL Adapter, and the Advanced SerialRAID Adapter can reserve to a
node number rather than to an adapter (see "Reserving Disk Drives" on page 27). It is
highly recommended that you make use of this ability by setting the SSA router
node_number attribute if multiple adapters are to be configured as described here.
Configuring SSA Disk Drive Devices
|
SSA disk drives are represented as SSA logical disks (hdisk0, hdisk1.....hdiskn) and
|
SSA physical disks (pdisk0, pdisk1.....pdiskn). The properties of each are described in
|
the SSA Subsystem Overview.
Normally, the system boot process automatically configures all the disk drives that are
connected to the using system. You do not need to take any action to configure them.
Because SSA devices might be added to the SSA network while the using system is
running and online, you might need to configure SSA disks after the boot process has
completed. Under these conditions, use the cfgmgr command to configure the devices.
An exception is to configure a specific device with a specific name. You can do this with
the mkdev command.
