The mptutil command is also used to update the A7173A adapter firmware. See “Verify or Update A7173A Adapter Firmware On HP 9000 Systems” (page 46), or “Verify or Update A7173A Adapter Firmware on HP Integrity Systems” (page 46), for details.

Verifying the Installation

After installing the scsiU320-00 software bundle containing the mpt driver, installing the A7173A adapter, and attaching the peripheral devices, verify that all of the components are working by following these steps:

1.To verify that the adapter is correctly installed, issue this command: ioscan -fnkd mpt

Example 2-1shows a typical ioscan output:Example 2-1 Typical ioscan -fnkd mpt Command Output, With Multiple Adapters

Example 2-1shows a system with two A7173A adapters installed. The ioscan output indicates that the adapters have been claimed by the mpt driver. Notice the hardware path shown in the second column. The A7173A adapter supports two PCI devices or functions (one per channel). Two lines are listed for each A7173A adapter: one for channel A (denoted by a 0 as the last digit in the hardware path), and one for channel B (denoted by a 1 as the last digit in the hardware path). The device file for each channel of each installed adapter is shown on the second line of each listing; for example, /dev/mpt6.
