I installed an additional Ultra-Wide-Differential SCSI controller
in a DEC 500au workstation. The new controller is an original DEC
part (part number KZPSA-BB).
I attached one Seagate drive with SCSI ID 5.
Now the output of the SRM commands show config and show device is:
>>>show config
PCI Bus
Bus 00 Slot 04: PCI IDE
pqa0.0.0.4.0 PCI EIDE
dka0.0.0.4.0 TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-61
Bus 00 Slot 20: DECchip 21052 PCI to PCI Bridge
Bus 01 Slot 09: ISP1040 Scsi Controller
pkc0.7.0.1009.0 SCSI Bus ID 07
dkc0.0.0.1009.0 RZ1CC-BA
Bus 01 Slot 10: Digital KZPSA
pkd0.7.0.1010.0 SCSI Bus ID 07
dkd500.5.0.1010.0 SEAGATE ST12550W
>>>show device
dka0.0.0.4.0 DKA0 TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-61 1106
dkc0.0.0.1009.0 DKC0 RZ1CC-BA 883F
dkd500.5.0.1010.0 DKD500 SEAGATE ST12550W 0006
That looks good. But how can I access the drive on the new controller?
The CD-ROM and the system drive (RZ1CC-BA) appear as /dev/rz0 and
/dev/rz16, respectively.
I tried MAKEDEV rz5, rz13, rz21, rz29, rz37, but could not access
the drive through any of these device files with either disklabel
or the disk management GUI.
Do I have to rebuild the kernel? How? Are there other tricks I have
to know?
Thank you for your help!
