Installing the A6828A Adapter
Verifying Installation
Verifying Installation
After installing the adapter and the c8xx driver and attaching the peripheral devices, verify that all the components are working by performing the following steps:
Step 1. To verify that the adapter is correctly installed, issue the following command:
ioscan
The applicable line in the ioscan output can have the following form:
ext_bus 0 0/0/10/0/0 c8xx CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI C1010 Ultra160 Wide LVD
The third column shows the hardware path of the PCI device/function (shown in bold in the above example, for highlighting purposes). The A6828A supports one PCI device/function (because it has only one channel). In addition, since this is a single channel HBA, one line is listed for channel A of the adapter (denoted by a 0 as the last digit in the hardware path).
Step | 2. In the same line of the ioscan output, verify that the adapter is claimed | |
| by the SCSI c8xx driver by looking at the fifth column of information | |
| (shown in bold in the example below, for highlighting purposes). | |
ext_bus 0 0/0/10/0/0 c8xx CLAIMED INTERFACE | SCSI C1010 Ultra160 Wide LVD | |
| If the adapter is not claimed, see “If the A6828A Adapter is Not Claimed” | |
|

Step | 3. In the same line of the ioscan output, verify that the SCSI driver and | |
| adapter information are displayed (shown in bold in the example below, | |
| for highlighting purposes). |
|
ext_bus 0 0/0/10/0/0 c8xx CLAIMED INTERFACE | SCSI C1010 Ultra160 Wide LVD | |
In this example, the SCSI driver information is c8xx (name of the driver), and the adapter information is as follows:
