Viper 200 Installation Manual
Configuring for SGI Irix
Finding current SCSI controllers and targets
In order to properly attach SCSI devices to hosts it is
necessary to ensure that each target device has a unique
SCSI address. The command
attached SCSI controllers and target devices. To search for
all SCSI controllers and devices use the command:
hinv –v | grep SCSI
The output of the command will be similar to the following:
Integral SCSI controller 0: Version ADAPTEC 7880
Disk drive unit 1 on SCSI controller 0
CD ROM unit 4 on SCSI controller 0
Integral SCSI controller 1: Version ADAPTEC 7880
Tape drive: unit 6 on SCSI controller 1: DAT
This output shows that a tape drive is present on SCSI
controller 1 at SCSI ID address #6. Available SCSI ID's are
0,2,3,5 6, 8 – 15 on controller 0 and ID's 1 – 5 and 8 – 15 on
controller 1 (this particular controller supports Wide/Ultra
SCSI).
Note: SCSI ID #7 is almost always dedicated to the SCSI
controller. Never configure your target device for ID 7
unless you are absolutely sure that the controller is not
addressed for ID 7. See figure 1 to view how to set the
SCSI ID address jumpers for the Viper 200.
