ProcedureHow to Determine a Transport Adapter's Instance Number

You need to determine a transport adapter's instance number to ensure that you add and remove the correct transport adapter through the scsetup command. The adapter name is a combination of the type of the adapter and the adapter's instance number. This procedure uses an SCI-PCI adapter as an example.

Steps
  1. Based on the slot number, find the adapter's name.

    The following screen is an example and might not reflect your hardware.


    # prtdiag

    PCI   8    B    2    33   33  2,0  ok    pci11c8,0-pci11c8,d665.11c8.0.0 
    PCI   8    B    3    33   33  3,0  ok    pci11c8,0-pci11c8,d665.11c8.0.0 
    ...
  2. Using the adapter's name and slot number, find the adapter's instance number.

    The following screen is an example and might not reflect your hardware.


    # prtconf
    ...
     pci, instance #0
     			pci11c8,0, instance #0
    			pci11c8,0, instance #1
