Software Driver Installation

3

The PMC Adapter and the PCI Adapter use the same software drivers. Whether the adapter is installed to a PCI slot or to a PMC mezzanine slot, the selection of a driver is based upon the operating system in use by the host computer; not by the configuration of the system hardware.

AIX Operating Systems

There is no software to install because the needed driver software is installed as the driver for the NCR825 family of SCSI adapters during installation of AIX. However, the AIX system administrator must now determine the names of the peripheral devices that AIX will assign upon booting up, and configure the devices with System Management Integration Tool (SMIT).

The administrator could determine the new SCSI disk device names by using the command line:

lsdev -Cc disk grep -i scsi

This would indicate all SCSI disks found, not just the new ones. The new devices indicate that they were ÒdefinedÓ however, they are not ÒavailableÓ until the logical volumes and volume groups are configured and file systems created via SMIT and mounted by a knowledgeable administrator.

Refer to your AIX System AdministratorÕs documentation for more information on configuring the driver and peripheral devices.
