Table 3.3 Adapter Properties Fields and Descriptions (Cont.)
|
| Field Type |
|
| Field | [Value] | Description |
|
|
|
|
| CHS Mapping | Configuration | Defines how the Cylinder Head Sector (CHS) values |
|
| [SCSI Plug and Play | are mapped onto a disk without |
|
| Mapping / Alternate | information. |
|
| CHS Mapping] | SCSI Plug and Play Mapping automatically |
|
|
| determines the most efficient and compatible |
|
|
| mapping. |
|
|
| Alternate CHS Mapping utilizes an alternate, possibly |
|
|
| less efficient mapping that may be required if a |
|
|
| device is moved between adapters from different |
|
|
| vendors. |
|
|
| Caution: Neither of these options has any effect after |
|
|
| a disk has been partitioned using the FDISK |
|
|
| command. The FDISK utility is a tool that the user can |
|
|
| use to delete partition entries, one or all of them. If |
|
|
| all partition entries are deleted, it is necessary to |
|
|
| reboot to clear memory or the old partitioning data |
|
|
| will be reused, thus nullifying the previous operation. |
|
|
| Use care to ensure that the correct disk is the target |
|
|
| of an FDISK command. |
|
|
|
|
| Spinup Delay | Configuration | Indicates the delay in seconds between spinups of |
pc | (Seconds) | [1 to 15] | devices attached to an adapter. Staggered spinups |
|
|
| balance the total electrical current load on the system |
|
|
| during boot. The default value is 2 seconds. |
|
|
|
|
| Secondary Cluster | Configuration | Indicates whether an adapter has one or more |
| Server | [Yes / No] | devices attached that are shared with one or more |
|
|
| other adapters and therefore, the LSI Logic SCSI |
|
|
| BIOS should avoid SCSI bus resets as much as |
|
|
| possible. |
|
|
| This option allows the user to enable an adapter to |
|
|
| join a cluster of adapters without doing any SCSI bus |
|
|
| resets. This is a requirement for Microsoft Cluster |
|
|
| Server. The default value is No with an alternate |
|
|
| option of Yes. |
|
|
|
|
| Termination Control | Configuration | If available, the field indicates whether an adapter has |
|
| [Auto / Off] | automatic termination control. |
|
|
| Auto means that the adapter automatically |
|
|
| determines whether it should enable or disable its |
|
|
| termination. Auto is the default state unless |
|
|
| termination is done manually, in which case, the |
|
|
| configuration is Off. |
|
|
|
|
| <Restore Defaults> | Executable | Press Enter to obtain default settings. |
