scsi controller

[simanek]

Hi all,
I've just plugged a scsi controller into a digital 2100. how do i ensure that it has been detected? none of the drives that are plugged into it are being detected. thanks.

or.

at frm prompt.

show devices

ok, i did both. nothing popped up for either. however, if i do a 'show config' it looks like it is detecting the scsi controller. so now 2 more questions:
1. what is the digital unix naming convention for a scsi controller? aka, what is it going to look like in /dev?
2. the disks appear when i do the 'show config' but nothing comes up in /dev. anything else I can do? thanks. Mike

type "show device" from the three chevrons

You need to run MAKEDEV in /dev to create the device files. Have a look at the man pages for this.


I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

Have the disks been partitioned ?

If the device is not being picked up at unix level, you may need to boot off the generic kernel (genvmunix) and run sizer to build support for the device, and then build a new kernel. Have a look at the man page for sizer.
