Setting and Confirming SCSI Parameters

The SCSI Command

The SCSI command can be used to display and set SCSI bus parameters to ensure that the SCSI adapter is compatible with the SCSI devices.

Displaying Transfer Rates

To display the SCSI transfer rate for an adapter using the SCSI command, use the following syntax:

SCSI rate bus_number slot_number

where

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

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

For example:

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

SCSI rate 5 2

The command displays the following output:

PCI device /5.2 = no limit

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

SCSI rate

72
