Installing the A6828A Adapter

Verifying Installation

•Ultra160—The HBA’s maximum data transfer rate. This can be

Ultra160, Ultra2, Ultra, Fast, or Async. You should keep the following in mind:

—This is not the actual transfer rate, but the maximum transfer rate set for the HBA.

—This is either the firmware default or the rate set through the BCH menus, unless you attach an SE device, which causes the entire bus to change to a transfer rate of Ultra (see “Performance Tuning” on page 11).

•Wide—The HBA’s bus width. This can be Wide or Narrow.

•LVD—The HBA’s bus type. This can be LVD or Single-Ended. If no bus type is shown, then the SCSI channel is disabled.

•A6828-60101—The HBA’s HP part number.

Step 4. In addition, in the ioscan output, the ctl line shows the adapter’s SCSI ID in its hardware path (shown in bold in the example below, for highlighting purposes).

/dev/rscsi/c0t7d0

Step 5. Verify that the devices you attached to the adapter are present in the ioscan output. For example, a partial list may look like this:

The second line under each disk line shows the disk’s device files (/dev/... [shown in bold in the example above, for highlighting purposes]).
