Series 950 Through Series 980 Systems
These systems require a four or five-level address consisting of the bus
converter number, the channel adapter module number (interface slot
number), the device adapter number the device address, and possibly a
unit address. HP-FL, HP-IB and some SCSI devices are supported.
Bus Converter
To configure a bus converter number of 6:
APATH 6,ID=nnnnn
where nnnnn is a bus converter identifier such as HPA1105A.
Channel Adapter
To configure a channel adapter module number of 4:
APATH 6/4,ID=nnnnn
where nnnnn is a channel adapter module identifier such as HP19744A.
Device Adapter
To configure a device adapter with an address of 3 to the channel adapter
module identifier:
ADEV PATH 6/4.3,ID=nnnnn
where nnnnn is a device adapter identifier such as HP28616A.
HP-FL/HP-IB Devices
To configure a device with an address of 1 to the device adapter:
ADEV PATH 6/4.3.1,ID=nnnnn
where nnnnn is a device identifier such as HP7937FL or HP7937H.
NOTE For reasons relating to backward compatibility, optical disk
library (SCSI device) configuration for CIO does not utilize the
following PSEUDO device identifier. Instead, optical disk
libraries are configured with a valid device identifier similar to
HP-FL and HP-IB devices. For more information refer to the
installation documentation for the device.
SCSI Devices
For a SCSI device you must use the word PSEUDO as the identifier:
PATH 6/4.3.1,ID=PSEUDO
Unit Identifier
The fifth-level provides the unit address for multi-unit devices (such as
the Magneto Optical Device or a Cascade Disk Drive). It is required for
SCSI devices regardless of whether they are single or multi-unit. It is
required for HP-FL devices only when they are configured as multi-unit
devices.
To configure a unit address of 3, for example, on the device configured
above, enter:
ADEV 6/4.3.1.3,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 6/4.3.1.0,ID=nnnnn
where nnnnn is a valid device identifier.
