Installing the A6829A Adapter

Specifying SCSI Parameters

In this example, the HBA’s maximum data transfer rate for channel A is MAX (shown in bold in the previous listing, for highlighting purposes). As mentioned earlier, this is the firmware suggested default setting, and it allows the A6829A’s maximum data rate (160 MB/s) to be used.

If you want to retain the maximum data transfer rate, type main to go back to the “Main Menu”.

If you want to change the data transfer rate (for example, to troubleshoot communications between the adapter and an Ultra-capable SCSI disk), go to step c.

c.If you are still in the “Service Menu,” type the following command:

scsi path rate new_data_rate

where, path is the HBA’s path and new_data_rate is what you want to change the HBA’s maximum data transfer rate to (ULTRA, for this example).

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

scsi 0/0/10/0/0 rate ultra

This changes the HBA’s maximum data transfer rate to ULTRA (40 MB/s).

To ensure that the data transfer rate has changed, you can repeat step b to display the HBA’s transfer rate.

When your troubleshooting is complete, and you want to change the adapter’s transfer rate back to MAX, go to step d.

d.If you are still in “Service Menu”, type the following command:

scsi path rate new_data_rate

where, path is the HBA’s path and new_data_rate is what you want to change the HBA’s maximum data transfer rate to (MAX, for this example).

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

scsi 0/0/10/0/0 rate nolimit

This changes the HBA’s maximum data transfer rate back to MAX (160 MB/s).
