Finding the Status of Existing SCSI Bus Addresses
Finding the Status of Existing SCSI Bus Addresses
Before you install a new SCSI drive, to ensure that the SCSI bus address of
your device is currently unused, you can use SAM, or you can use the ioscan
tool to help determine which devices are currently connected. Of course, this
is especially necessary for a system in which devices have previously been
installed. To determine the currently connected SCSI bus IDs, enter the fol-
lowing command line:
/usr/sbin/ioscan -f
The result will be a display of information, similar to the following:
Class H/W Path Driver H/W Status S/W Status Description
==============================================================
...
disk 2.0.1.2.0 scsi ok(0x5800101) ok TOSHIBA CD-ROM
tape_drive 2.0.1.3.0 scsitape ok(0x1800202) ok HP HP35450A
disk 2.0.1.6.0 scsi ok(0x101) ok MICROP 1528
...
For example, the SCSI bus address for the “MICROP” disk device is in the
fourth column of its hardware address as “6” (2.0.1.6.0). SAM will help you
determine an address for the device when you do the installation.
Use the following table to write down the current SCSI bus addresses:
