SPARC: How to Add a SCSI Device to a SCSI Bus

Note - When you add devices, specify the Ap_Id of the SCSI HBA (controller) to which the device is attached, not the Ap_Id of the device itself.

(Optional) Display the SCSI configuration to identify the bus to which to add the device.
```
# cfgadm -al
```

Add the device.
1. Type the following command:
```
# cfgadm -x insert_device controller
```
2. Type y at the prompt to proceed.
  I/O activity on the SCSI bus is suspended while the hot-plug operation is in progress.
3. Insert the device and switch its power on.
4. Confirm that the operation has been completed.

Verify that the device has been added.
```
# cfgadm -al
```

Example 2-1 Adding a SCSI Device

In this example, a device is added to the controller c3.

# cfgadm -al
Ap_Id            Type         Receptacle   Occupant     Condition
c2               scsi-bus     connected    configured   unknown
c2::dsk/c2t0d0   CD-ROM       connected    configured   unknown
c3               scsi-sas     connected    configured   unknown
c3::dsk/c3t0d0   disk         connected    configured   unknown
c3::dsk/c3t1d0   disk         connected    configured   unknown
c3::dsk/c3t2d0   disk         connected    configured   unknown

# cfgadm -x insert_device c3
Adding device to SCSI HBA: /devices/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0,2/LSILogic,sas@2
This operation will suspend activity on SCSI bus: c3
Continue (yes/no)? y
SCSI bus quiesced successfully.
It is now safe to proceed with hotplug operation.

After the device is added and power to the device is turned on, the operation continues with a prompt.

Enter y if operation is complete or n to abort (yes/no)? y

# cfgadm -al
Ap_Id            Type         Receptacle   Occupant     Condition

c2::dsk/c2t0d0   CD-ROM       connected    configured   unknown
