Basics:
•
There are four ways to attach to SCSI devices:
– KZPSA, a PCI adapter with a FWD SCSI port
– KZPSC, the RAID adapter with one to three FWD SCSI ports
– KZPBA-CA, a PCI to UltraSCSI single-ended controller
– KZPBA-CB, a PCI to UltraSCSI FWD controller
•
Each port has a maximum of eight nodes per bus, including the initiator or
host.
•
Each modular storage shelf (BA36R) has a power supply and can hold up to
seven 3.5" SBBs (such as RZIBB), two 5.25" SBBs (such as the RZ69 or
RRD47 drives), or a combination of these.
•
SCSI configurations vary depending upon the particular adapter being used.
Read the manuals associated with each adapter to learn the configuration
rules.
All cabling and node setting has been completed prior to shipping. To check the
configuration, check self-test and issue a show device console command:
The system goes through self-test. Check that the KFTHA, the KZPBA, the
DWLPB, KZPSA, and/or the KZPSC adapters passed self-test.
Issue a show device command. This example shows three KZPBAs; isp0,
isp1, and isp2. Isp0 is in PCI slot 5 on hose0, isp1 is in PCI slot 6 on hose 0,
and isp2 is in PCI slot 7 on hose 0.
