Im having trouble getting a DS10 running Tru64 4.0f to recognize two
new ultra2 18Gb disks. It has a ultra2 9.1Gb disk originally
installed. The disks came with no documentation and I havent been able
to find any online either. Im pretty sure the problem is with the SCSI
ID# but am not sure. The system has a scsi ultra2 cable where one end
is connected to the board and then the next slot in connected to the
original disk. The cable has the connectors for 3 more devices and then
what looks to be a terminator on the end.
I connected the second connector to one disk and the third connector to
another disk. One disk came with a jumper which looked to be setting
the id to 1. Even when connected alone the system would not see the
disk. I tried doing a MAKEDEV in /dev but to no avail. It looks like
when the system is booting it sees the disks at scsi1 and scsi2. The
lights on the drives blink when booting but the system doesnt recognize
the drives. The original disk is seen at /dev/rz16.
I have worked extensively with storageworks disks on an ES40 and a 2100A
but never with internal scsi disks as this. Any ideas of what I need to
do to get the system to see the disks would be appreciated.
