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

SCSI controller c1 provides an example of how to add a SCSI device to a SCSI bus.

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

1. Become superuser.

2. Identify the current SCSI configuration.

   # cfgadm -al Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition c0 scsi-bus connected configured unknown c0::dsk/c0t0d0 disk connected configured unknown c0::rmt/0 tape connected configured unknown c1 scsi-bus connected configured unknown c1::dsk/c1t3d0 disk connected configured unknown

3. Add the SCSI device to the SCSI bus.

   # cfgadm -x insert_device c1 Adding device to SCSI HBA: /devices/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@1,8800000 This operation will suspend activity on SCSI bus: c1

   1. Type y at the Continue (yes/no)? prompt to proceed.

      Continue (yes/no)? y SCSI bus quiesced successfully. It is now safe to proceed with hotplug operation.

      I/O activity on the SCSI bus is suspended while the hot-plug operation is in progress.

   2. Connect the device and then power it on.

   3. Type y at the Enter y if operation is complete or n to abort (yes/no)? prompt.

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

4. Verify that the device has been added.

   # cfgadm -al Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition c0 scsi-bus connected configured unknown c0::dsk/c0t0d0 disk connected configured unknown c0::rmt/0 tape connected configured unknown c1 scsi-bus connected configured unknown c1::dsk/c1t3d0 disk connected configured unknown c1::dsk/c1t4d0 disk connected configured unknown

   A new disk has been added to controller c1.
