SCSI Drive ID

[tripper91]

Hi i have a compaq 36.4 gb ultra 3 scsi. i stuffed up the SCSI ID and instead of on post it showing 1 hard drive, it now shows over 10. Ho do i fix this?

thanx in advance

Check if you have duplicated ID's now.
Hard to suggest something without knowing more details about this config.

ok one there are 2 scsi hotswap hdd's. One is ID 0 and the other is ID 1. The one with ID 1 is the hard drive with the ID issue. They are connected directly to the motherboard via supplied scsi cables

I'm confused as to how you've got things setup...

If they're hot swap hard drives, then the SCSI ID is usually assigned by the physical bay into which the drive is plugged.

It would be useful to know the exact hardware configuration...

Cheers,

hi
yea they are definatly hot swap drives. i messed around with their ID's by pressing F8 on post. Something came up about changing reset status, and changing ID. i dont kno how to fix it?

[Rob Leadbeater]

Again, what's the hardware configuration ?

You pressed F8, which suggests the drives might be connected to a SmartArray controller, but you haven't told us.

With half the information you're not likely to get an answer !

Cheers,

Sorry. I wasn't having a go.

Just trying to explain that you need to provide as much information as possible about the problem in order to get an answer...

So basic things like, server model and generation, ie ML350 G3, would be useful.

Cheers,

ok

Proliant ML370 g2, 2xP3 1.2GHz, 1gb Ram, Win server 2003 (or was up until the drive ID stuffed)
