Installing the FWD SCSI Adapter

2–10

7. Verify the operation of the FWD SCSI adapter.

To verify that your system recognizes the FWD SCSI adapter, follow these steps:

a.

Turn on and boot the system, and log in as root or superuser.

b.

In a terminal window, enter the following command:

/etc/ioscan –C scsi 

Enter

 (for HP–UX 9.x)

/usr/sbin/ioscan –C ext_bus 

Enter

 (for HP–UX 10.x)

After a few moments the ioscan utility lists all of the bus interfaces it could find.
The list appears similar to the following:

For HP–UX 9.x:

H/W Path Description Status    

=============================

2.0.1    scsi        ok(0x7071)

2.0.7    scsi        ok(0x707c)

For HP–UX 10.x:

H/W Path  Class          Description

====================================

8/8     ext_bus      GSC add–on Fast/Wide SCSI Interface

8/12/0  ext_bus      Built–in Parallel Interface

8/12/5  ext_bus      Built–in SCSI

If ioscan does not find your FWD SCSI adapter, go to Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting”.
