5.2.1 Setting Up SCSI Host Adapters
NOTE
You must assure that the connection between host adapters
on both servers is consistent. Use the PCI slot numbering
on your servers as a guide. The adapters on each server
that connect to one controller should be in the same PCI
slot in each server. If it is not possible to install the adapters
in the same slot in each server, you must install them in
sequence. For example, the first adapters installed in each
server must connect to the same controller.
Refer to the documentation supplied with your adapter to help you configure the
following parameters. Make sure that these settings are identical for each host adapter.
For SCSI host adapters:
1. Termination is enabled unless you are using Y-cables with external termination. If
you are using Y-cables with external termination then you must disable termination
on the host bus adapter.
2. SCSI bus resets following board initialization (power-on reset) are disabled.
3. SCSI host adapter BIOS is disabled.
The host adapters are now prepared for Secure Path operation. Follow the adapter
vendor’s recommended procedure to install the second adapter in your server’s system
bus.
