Displaying Transfer Rates

To use the SCSI command to display the SCSI transfer rate for an adapter, follow this syntax:

SCSI rate bus_number slot_number

where

bus_number Specifies the number of the bus the adapter is installed on.

slot_number Specifies the number of the slot the adapter is in.

For example:

To display the SCSI transfer rate for the adapter installed on bus 5 slot 2, issue this command:

SCSI rate 5 2

The output could look something like this:

PCI device /5.2 = no limit

To list transfer rates for all bus and slot numbers, issue this command:

SCSI rate
