NOTE:  The Host router will respond to all SCSI target INQUIRES without a SCSI device being
configured as demonstrated in the above ODE listing.  Make sure you see the product ID’s from the
SCSI device(s) being displayed.

7.  If the host has seen all the device(s) on the device router, then the installation is successful and

normal operation may begin.
