If I run MSA_UTIL I can see the controller with a "SHOW CONTROLLERS" command:
Adapter: _PKC0:
Smart Array 5300 (c) COMPAQ P23130YFFNF49H Software 3.58
SCSI_VERSION = X3.131:1994 (SCSI-2)
Supported Redundancy Mode:
Not currently Redundant
Current Role: Active
Cache:
24 megabyte read cache 24 megabyte write cache
Cache is Expand operation queued up or in progress, and Cache is disabled.
No unflushed data in cache.
Battery:
Battery is fully charged.
but if I attempt to "SET CONTROLLER" I get an error:
MSA> SET CONTROLLER _PKC0:
Could not find a matching controller.
(various other permutations of PKC0 with and without underscores and colons return the same response)
I can acess it via WBEM anc the ACUEXE utility, but a command line interface would often be more convenient.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionI have only Sa6400 controllers to check and this works as expected. But: On alpha the MSA utility has been embedded in a FIBRE_SCSI patch and been renamed to MSA$UTIL on SYS$SYSTEM.
Did you use this version or an older one from SYS$ETC?
regards Kalle

Re: Accessing Smart Array 5300 with MSA_UTIL?
Could it be, that you need more privileges to set than to show?

Re: Accessing Smart Array 5300 with MSA_UTIL?
using MSA$UTIL to access the Smart Array 5300, 6400 and P400 is documented in the V8.3-1H1 Release Notes (Chapter 4).
This utility is also included in VMS83I_FIBRE_SCSI-V0600 as a new feature.
