QUESTION 1:
1. What SCSI ID will this drive have when I plug it in?
Currently my ID's consists of:
Disks rz0 - rz3 (in the storage bay)
Tape tz5
CDROM rz4
When I put the new drive in and do a show dev from the boot
prompt I don't see the drive.
RESPONSES:
The StorageWorks backplane consists of two sections. The upper
section supports the first four slots and the lower section supports
the last three.
If I remember correctly, the lower section, out of the box, is not
connected to anything. There should have received a small 3-4 inch
SCSI ribbon cable which would enable you to join the two sections
together.
There are various ways to use the lower section. You may want to
consult the "Owners Guide". If you simply connect the two sections
together, you need to re-assign the SCSI ID of your CD-ROM to say
'6', because the hard drive ID assignment go by slot position.
run the scu utility:
scu> show edt
This will show the bus, target and lu number.
insert the entry in the /sys/conf/HOST file
rebuild the kernel
reboot
You should now see it with show dev
QUESTION 2:
2. I forgot what the disklabel command was to initialize a new
drive. I remember it was something different than what was in
the man pages.
RESPONSES:
disklabel -wr /dev/rr(unit#)c rz28 or rz29
disklabel -wr /dev/rrz#c type
