new disk

[Vogra]

Hi All,
I added a new disk on the onboard controle of a D270/2 server (HP9000) with HPUX11.00. On the same controller are: DDS tape, another disk (same capacity).
The ioscan -fn show me the lines:
target 7 8/16/5.5 tgt NO_HW DEVICE
disk 4 8/16/5.5.0 sdisk NO_HW DEVICE CONNER CFP2105S 2.14GB

The question is: is possible to use this miserable in this server?
Thanx.

Looks like the SCSI devices have the same controler number. You need to change the controler number on your tape device to something that is not used by the other devices.

Try insf -e

What does the "ioscan -fn" shows before the disk is added ? That will help you to determine what SCSI id to set on the disk before you plug it in.

Hi,

The internal disks on a D 2xx should be scsi id 5 at the top and scsi id 8 below it.
Can you reboot?
Change the scsi id on the tape drive to something other than 5,8 or 7 (7 is the controller).
Reboot.
ioscan -fnCdisk should show you the disks.
Now pvcreate etc
If you still can't see the disk then switch off the tape drive and reboot.
Now ioscan -fnC disk should find the disks.
If you still can't see the disk then it's probably dead.
Switch the tape drive on and reboot.

HTH

Hi David,

after did you said.
With no tape, the disk was ok.
Than, I get out a FDDI board that I don't need and the scsi id it's ok.
Thank you so much to everyone!
