PCI-SCSI Device Adapter Cards

SCSI Device Conﬁguration Examples for N-Class and A-Class HP e3000 Systems

If you were to build a new conﬁguration ﬁle for an N-Class system and wanted the device

0/0/2/0.6.0 to be our LDEV #1 (system/boot disk), you would issue the following commands

in SYSGEN.

io> ap 0 id=pat_ioa_bc

io> ap 0/0 id=pat_pci_bc

io> ap 0/0/2 id=pci_device

io> ap 0/0/2/0 id=A5159A << This is the Device Adapter Card (ID from Example #1)

io> ap 0/0/2/0.6 id=pseudo __/ pair of entries per stand alone device

io> ad 1 path=0/0/2/0.6.0 id=hpc2490wd \ pair of entries per stand alone device

or (if LDEV #1 previously existed)

io> md 1 path=0/0/2/0.6.0 id=hpc2490wd

Checking that the Device Adapter Card is properly conﬁgured:

io> lp 0/0/2/0

PATH: 0/0/2/0 LDEV:

ID: A5159A TYPE: DA

PMGR: PCI_SCSI_DAM PMGRPRI: 6

LMGR: MAXIOS: 0

If you were to build a new conﬁguration ﬁle for an N-Class system, the next step would be

to conﬁgure LDEV 7. In our previous examples we found a “sequential access media,” e.g.

“tape” at path address 0/0/1/0.2.0. Recall from our previous explorations that this device is

on the Core I/O external SCSI Bus, A5149A (SP LVD/SE). We’ve chosen to use HPC1553A

as this is a supported SE-SCSI DDS-3 Tape drive; you should use the value that matches

your Boot Tape device.

(Paths “0” and “0/0” were added in previous example for LDEV #1)

io> ap 0/0/1 id=pci_device

io> ap 0/0/1/0 id=A5149A << This is the Device Adapter Card

io> ap 0/0/1/0.2 id=pseudo __/ pair of entries per stand alone device

io> ad 7 path=0/0/1/0.2.0 id=hpc1553B \ pair of entries per stand alone device

or (if LDEV #7 previously existed)

io> mp 7 path=0/0/1/0.2.0 id=hpc1553B

Checking that the Device Adapter Card is properly conﬁgured:

io> lp 0/0/1/0

PATH: 0/0/1/0 LDEV:

ID: A5149A TYPE: DA

PMGR: PCI_SCSI_DAM PMGRPRI: 6

LMGR: MAXIOS: 0

As in the previous example, PMGR is set to ”PCI_SCSI_DAM,” which is the correct value.

This is how LDEV 7 is conﬁgured in CONFNCL1:
