Preparing the Host System
3–10 HSG80 ACS Solution Software Version 8.7 for Compaq Tru64 UNIX Installation and
Configuration Guide
File Utility
You can use the Tru64 UNIX file utility to determine if a Controller Unit can be
accessed from the host.
The unit that you want to test must already have a character mode device special file
and the correct disk label.
The following example uses the HSG80 unit D101 on SCSI Bus-2. Run the file
command and specify the character mode device special file, in the format described
below.
NOTE: SCSI-3 is NOT supported on V4.0X.
For V4.0G
# /usr/bin/file /dev/rrzb17a
The device activity indicator (green light) will illuminate on the device if the
information is not in cache. If the unit is a multi-device container, only one of the
devices from that container will illuminate. The Tru64 UNIX Operating System
should display information similar to the following output after the command is
entered:
/dev/rrzb17a character special (8/33856) SCSI #2 HSG80 disk #146
(SCSI ID #1)
• 8 is the major number
• 33856 represents the minor number
• 2 is the SCSI host-side bus number
• 146 is the drive number as listed in the Configuration File
• 1 is the Controller Target ID
For V5.1x
# /usr/bin/file /dev/rdisk/dsk7c
The device activity indicator (green light) will illuminate on the device if the
information is not in cache. If the unit is a multi-device container, only one of the
devices from that container will illuminate. The Tru64 UNIX Operating System
should display information similar to the following output after the command is
entered:
/dev/rdisk/dsk7c character special (19/150) SCSI #2 HSG80 disk
#0 (SCSI ID #1) (SCSI LUN #1)
