System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual

Series 920, 922, 932, 948, 958 NIO Systems 

These machines support both CIO and NIO. This section deals with NIO
configuration.

The first two configuration levels consist of the device adapter address
and the device address.  A third level is required for SCSI devices or
multi-unit HP-FL devices.

Device Adapter 

To configure a device adapter with a path of 48, for example, enter:

     APATH 48,ID=nnnnn 

Where nnnnn is a valid device adapter identifier such as HP28616A or
HP28642A-SCSI.

HP-FL Devices 

To configure an HP-FL device use the ADEV command and the device address.
For example, for a device address of 2, you would enter:

     ADEV 48.2,ID=nnnnn 

where nnnnn is a device identifier such as HP7937FL or HPC2474R.

If you are configuring an HP-FL device that is not a multi-unit device,
you are done.

SCSI Devices 

For a SCSI interface you must use the word PSEUDO as the device
identifier as follows:

     APATH 48.2,ID=PSEUDO 

Unit Identifier 

The third level provides the unit address for multi-unit devices.  It is
required for SCSI devices regardless of whether they are single or
multi-unit.

To configure a unit address of 3, for example, on the device configured
above, enter:

     ADEV 48.2.3,ID=nnnnn 

where nnnnn is a valid device identifier.

If the device is not a multi-unit device or if a multi-unit device is
being configured as a single unit, the device unit address of 0 is used
to complete the address.  For example, to use the device configured above
as a single-unit device, enter the following:

     ADEV 48.2.0,ID=nnnnn 

where nnnnn is a valid device identifier.
