Added SCSI disk to 9000 Class A but can not see the disk

[vz7r1x]

Hi
I have added a 146GB SCSI disk to A class 9000 HP server running HP-UX 11v1 via a dual port SCSI host bus adapter. I am able to see the adapter but can not see the new disk. Server has 1 internal disk with OS on it. Please post your suggestions about possibilities.

Have you rebooted, or run insf to create the device files? Are your SCSI interfaces terminated properly?

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

insf -C disk

ioscan -fnC disk

Try again.

Shalom again,

model command.

We work a lot with these systems and some of the earlier ones could not see very large disks.

Things to check:

Is the HBA supported for this server and CLAIMED?
Is the bus terminated?

[vz7r1x]

Thanks for the inputs folks.
I have run insf command, rebooted server, SCSI interfaces are terminating properly.
Disk specs are:
Seagate brand
Cheetah 10K.7
Ultra U320 SCSI Drive
Model# ST373207LW
RPM: 10K
Serial# 3KT0QXGF

Disk is connects via dual port SCSI host bus adapter and I can see bus adapter but not the disk.

Am I missing any patch? Only scsi patch I saw on my server is PHKL 29365.

Never mind what you are telling us, please post the output of ioscan -fn. Also what is the exact model of your A-box; you may need a firmware upgrade but no one should pay any attention to you until the ioscan output is posted.

[Marcel Burggraeve]

The disk you mention is not a 146GB disk.
Model# ST373207LW
ST = Seagate
First 3 = 3 inch size
73 = 73GB

What SCSI ID is the disk set to ?

BTW, don't be in such a hurry to close a thread!

(Since the forums provide no means of
communicating to other posters (outside a thread, AFAIK ...
you didn't assign points in the
"Do you know ftp location for
PF_CHAW4350.tar.gz?" thread!


Back to your SCSI disk ...

can you see it via a "SEA" (search) command
below the ISL prompt level? (That's a firmware implemented command.)
