Addresses for SCSI devices
All devices attached to the SCSI SE port or a SCSI controller (hard disks and other
drives) must have a unique address, known as the SCSI ID. The IDs of preinstalled
drives are preset when the system is shipped. When attaching external drives, make
sure you do not allocate an ID which has already been assigned.
Each device that is given an address/ID must be allocated a device name
in Reliant UNIX or SINIX V5.42. This name must be unique. On device
name allocation refer to the manual “Reliant UNIX Installation and
Operation – RM200, RM300, RM400” or the corresponding manual for
SINIX V5.42.
Addresses for SCSI devices connected to onboard controllers
You can, for example, use XConfig or the autoconf command to show which addres-
ses the SCSI controllers occupy.
Ê Enter the following command:
In the autoconf display you will find part of the symbolic device name, for example:
ios0/stape00
6
MC12
.
The digit in bold font is the SCSI address (ID).
The CD-ROM is always assigned ID 5 and is located in the top bay for
wide drives in the system cabinet. The operating system can also be
installed from this drive (boot procedure).
