ULTRA2 LVD SCSI HOST ADAPTER

5.6.3COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS FOR THE DEVICE DRIVER

The Ultra2 LVD SCSI Host Adapter’s device drivers support command-line switches to optimize driver performance. Device drivers normally require no additonal information to work effectively, but for your system or applications you might need to turn certain features ON or OFF. In the CONFIG.SYS file, use the following standard command format to modify the device driver’s switches:

BASEDEV = INIA100.ADD [driver-config option]

The “driver-config options” are:

/V

Verbose Mode provides detailed information about the driver on

 

the system command line when the driver is initialized

 

 

 

/!V

Non-Verbose Mode (default)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

/ET

Driver assumes that all targets have more than one LUN (logical

 

unit number)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

/!ET

Driver assumes that all targets only have LUN 0 (default)

 

 

/T:hhhh

Target-enable mask word (default: FFFF hex, scan all targets)

 

 

The range for “hhhh” is from 0000 hex (disable all targets) to

 

FFFF hex (scan all targets).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a powerful and complex option by which you can have the

 

driver control only certain selected devices. Each of the four hex

 

characters stands for four of the SCSI IDs, each of which has its own

 

corresponding bit for which “1” = control enabled, “0” = control

 

disabled. For example, if you wanted the driver to be able to

 

 

control all of the devices on the bus except a CD-ROM drive on

 

ID 3, a tape drive on ID 6, and scanners on IDs 9 and 10, you would

 

enter the command phrase “/T:F9B7”:

/B:b,dd

Scan PCI DEVICE #dd on PCI BUS #b

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The range for “b” is from 0 to 7 decimal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The range for “dd” is from 0 to 20 decimal.
