HP SCSI Host Bus Adapters ioscan, 1/0/14/0, /dev/mpt14, /dev/mpt15, Example 4-1Typical ioscan -fnkdCommand Output

1.Use the ioscan -fnkd mpt command to determine the device file for each channel of the A7173A adapter. Example 4-1shows the command output for a typical system:

The device file for each channel of an A7173A adapter is in the second line of the ioscan output. In Example 4-1, /dev/mpt14and /dev/mpt15 are the device files for the two channels of the A7173A adapter installed in the PCI slot located at hardware path 1/0/14/0.

2.Use the mptutil command to determine the SCSI firmware version running (in ROM) on the A7173A adapter. Both channels on each A7173A adapter share the same SCSI firmware, so it is only necessary to query one channel to determine the SCSI firmware version installed on both channels.

The version of the EFI driver component of the A7173A adapter firmware will also be displayed. Example 4-2shows the command output for a typical system:
