Sun Microsystems LSI22320-SR manual Testing the Host Adapter

Testing the Host Adapter

You should test the host adapter installation using the probe-scsi-allcommand and, if the newly attached device is a disk array, with the SunVTS software.

▼To Test the Installation Using the probe-scsi- all Command

1.If you have disconnected the power cable, reconnect it.

2.Power on the connected storage device(s) and then power on the host.

3.Bring the system down to the ok prompt at run level 0.

Note – If the host starts to reboot, interrupt the reboot process by pressing the Stop and A keys simultaneously.

4.At the ok prompt, enter the probe-scsi-allcommand to verify that the system recognizes the host adapter.

The probe-scsi-allcommand displays the SCSI devices connected to the host, as shown in the following screen example.

ok probe-scsi-all

/pci@4,2000/pci@1/scsi@2 Target 0

Unit 0 DISK SEAGATE ST336605LSUN36G 0238 /pci@4,2000/pci@1/scsi@2,1

Target 0

Unit 0 DISK SEAGATE ST336605LSUN36G 0238

In this example, the first SCSI port (scsi@2) has one disk drive connected

(Target 0). The second SCSI port (scsi@2,1) also has one disk drive connected (Target 0). In the illustration of the host adapter in Figure 1-1, the first SCSI port is labeled as Channel A; the second SCSI port as Channel B.
