  • Page 182: Scsi Interface

    Utilities Specifying SCSI Parameters Using the SCSI interface information from the example above, the pieces of information that, combined, tell you this is a SCSI interface are the following (shown in bold, for highlighting purposes): 0x1000 0x0030 Acpi(HWP0002,200)/Pci(1|0) 0x1000 0x0030 Acpi(HWP0002,200)/Pci(1|1) Looking at all of the above information together, the vendor (0x1000) and device (0x0030) are the IDs for a SCSI interface.
  • Page 183 Utilities Specifying SCSI Parameters In the preceding example, the SCSI interface information is shown highlighted bold. You can tell the information is for the SCSI interface because the path on the first line—Acpi(HWP0002,100)— is the path from the information displayed by the info io command. The next two lines are for the SCSI interface two channels, one line for each channel (they contain the SCSI interface description [LSI Logic Ultra320 SCSI Controller]).
  • Page 184 Utilities Specifying SCSI Parameters Continuing the example for Channel A of this SCSI interface, you would enter: drvcfg -s 45 18 Step 5. The EFI SCSI Setup Utility starts and its main menu displays, showing a list of all the EFI capable SCSI interfaces in the server.
  • Page 185 Utilities Specifying SCSI Parameters • Disconnect • SCSI Timeout • Queue Tags • Format • Verify Changing any of these fields can cause unpredictable results. Step 7. You may display (and optionally change) any SCSI parameters listed below for the channel of the SCSI interface, or restore its SCSI parameters to their default values.
