Chapter 4. Installing, Configuring, and Verifying Software
Once you have completed installing the hardware, you need to verify that your PCI
SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Single-Ended Adapter is available for use. If it is not available,
you need to install the required device driver. Note that on many systems the
required device driver software is already installed, in which case AIX configures the
adapter automatically.
Additional device drivers may need to be installed for the SCSI devices attached to
the adapter. Refer to the documentation that came with your devices for further
information.
Verifying Device Driver Installation
To verify that your newly installed PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Single-Ended Adapter is
available for use, follow the steps below:
1. If the system unit is not on, turn it on.
2. Log in as root.
3. At the prompt, type the following and press Enter.
lsdev -Cc adapter | grep scsi
4. A list of SCSI adapters displays. Verify that the PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide
Single-Ended Adapter is in
Available
mode. The adapter will have a text
description of "Wide SCSI I/O Controller."
If the PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Single-Ended Adapter is
Available
, your adapter is
ready to use. If the adapter was not listed, you must install the necessary device
driver software.
AIX Device Driver Installation
1. If the system unit is not on, turn it on.
2. Log in as root.
3. Insert the media containing the device driver software (diskette or CD-ROM) into
the appropriate media device.
4. Type:
smit cfgmgr
and press Enter.
