Compaq Infortrend manual Peripheral Device Type Parameters, Sco

Peripheral Device Type Parameters for Various Operating Systems:

A host can not “see” a RAID controller UNLESS a logical unit has been created and mapped to host LUN via the RS-232/front panel interface; or that the "in-band SCSI" connection with the host is established. If users want to start configuring a RAID system from the host before any RAID configuration is made, the host will not be able to “see” the RAID controller. In order for a host to “see” the controller, it will be necessary to define the controller as a peripheral device.

Different host operating systems require different adjustments. Look at the table below to find the proper settings for your host operating system. References to “Peripheral Device Qualifier” and “Device Support for Removable Media” are also included.
