Installing the A6828A Adapter

Specifying SCSI Parameters

Step 2. Determine the HBA’s path by doing the following:

a.If you are already at the “Main Menu,” type in (for “Information Menu”); go to step b.

If you are not at the “Main Menu,” type main (to return to the “Main Menu”), type in (for “Information Menu”), and then go to step b.

b.At the “Information Menu,” type io (to display I/O interface information). The output is as follows:

In this example, the HBA’s path is 0/0/10/0/0 (shown in bold in the listing above, for highlighting purposes). Note that the last (farthest right) digit is the channel number—0for channel A.

Step 3. Display (and optionally change) the HBA’s bus width by performing the following steps:

a.If you are already at the “Main Menu,” type ser (for “Service Menu”); go to step b.

If you are not at the “Main Menu,” type main (to return to the “Main Menu”), type ser (for “Service Menu”), and then go to step b.

b.In the “Service Menu,” type the following command:

scsi path width

where, path is the HBA’s path (from step 1).

Therefore, using the information for the HBA in the example in step 1, type the following:

scsi 0/0/10/0/0 width

This displays the HBA’s bus width. The output is as follows:
