3.3.1.2 AIX Configuration
During boot time, the configuration manager of AIX configures all the device
drivers needed to have the SSA disks available for usage. The configuration
manager can’t do this configuration if the SSA Subsystem is not properly
connected or if the SSA Software is not installed. If the SSA Software is not
already installed, the configuration manager will tell you the missing filesets.
You can either install the missing filesets with
smit
, or call the configuration
manager with the -i flag.
The configuration manager configures the following devices:
• SSA Adapter Router
• SSA Adapter
• SSA Disks
Adapter Router
The adapter Router (ssar) is only a conceptual configuration aid and is
always in a “Defined” state. It cannot be made “Available.” You can list the
ssar with the following command:
#lsdev -C | grep ssar
