2. From the CLI prompt, enter:
SHOW THIS_CONTROLLER FULL
The current configuration of your RAID HSG80 controller will appear.
Configure Controller Settings
3. Check the configuration (parameter settings) of your controller against those listed in
Table 5–1, which are the correct HSG80 controller parameter settings for an IBM-AIX
environment.
NOTE: Setting the SCSI version to SCSI-3 does not make the controller fully compliant with the
SCSI-3 standards.
4. Change any controller parameter settings inconsistent with those in Table 5–2 by
entering the appropriate command for that parameter, as described in the next section.
NOTE: After completing all of the required parameter changes, you must restart the controller
for the new settings to take effect.
Ignore the Restart Controller messages until you have finished making all the required
configuration parameter changes.
Set This Controller
5. To set the prompt to the HSG80 controller, enter:
SET THIS_CONTROLLER PROMPT=”HSG>”
6. Clear any persistent error messages by entering the following command:
HSG> CLEAR CLI
