U320 Installation Guide

1. While OpenVMS is starting up, each A7173A adapter port and its current firmware version

number will be announced by the following console messages:

%PKC0, SCSI Chip is LSI53C1030, Operating mode is LVD Ultra320 SCSI

%PKC0, LSI53C1030 firmware version is 1.3.35.65

Once system startup is complete, log into a privileged account such as SYSTEM and confirm

that all of the A7173A adapter ports have been configured. The ports are represented by

devices named PKA0:, PKB0:, etc., two per adapter. OpenVMS generates device names for

the ports when it configures them, typically at boot time. Parallel SCSI ports have the device

name PK. The controller letter, A, B, … is assigned in the order that the PK ports are

configured.

2. Type the SHOW DEVICE/FULL DCL command to verify that all of the A7173A port devices

are present. The displayed device type should be "HP A7173A 1030 SCSI" as shown below:

$ SHOW DEVICE/FULL PK

Device PKC0:, device type HP A7173A 1030 SCSI, is online, error logging is

enabled.

Device PKD0:, device type HP A7173A 1030 SCSI, is online, error logging is

enabled.

3. Parallel SCSI disk devices are named DKA0:, DKA100:, etc., where the controller letter

matches the port's controller letter, and the unit number is derived from the device's SCSI

ID (DKA0 for ID 0, DKA100 for ID 1, etc.). In the same manner, parallel SCSI magnetic tape

devices are named MKA500:, etc. Type the SHOW DEVICE DCL command to show the

devices connected to a SCSI port as shown below:

$ SHOW DEVICE DKC
