    • Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus Considerations for Selecting SCSI Devices SCSI devices supported by the Hewlett-Packard Company for the Ultra Narrow Single-Ended (NSE) and Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI buses have been qualified as SCSI devices which meet NSE and LVD specifications. Contact the local HP sales representative for a current list of SCSI devices supported by HP for use on the Ultra Narrow Single-Ended and Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI buses.

    SCSI Connections Assigning SCSI Device IDs Assigning SCSI Device IDs Before assigning a SCSI device ID to your drive, you need to check the existing SCSI device IDs. To determine which SCSI device IDs are available for your device, use the ioscan command in a terminal window: 1.
  • Page 211: Assigning Ultra Narrow Single-Ended Scsi Device Ids

    SCSI Connections Assigning SCSI Device IDs Assigning Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI Device IDs You can determine which Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI (NSE SCSI) devices are currently in use by reviewing the output from the ioscan command discussed above and looking under the “H/W Path” heading. The entry 10/0/15/0 is the built-in Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI bus.
