SCSI compatibility mode

Can I configure a SCSI adapter/target to run in compatibility mode (HP-UX 10.20/11.00) ? i.e.:
- disable wide SCSI
- disable tagged queuing
- enforce synchronous transfer
- lengthen timeout period
- etc.

I seem to recall Sun-Solaris allows a user to do this; e.g., configure isp driver for SunSwift PCI-SCSI adapter:
file: /kernel/drv/isp.conf
edit: scsi-options=0x78;

What is the HP-UX equivalent ?

Re: SCSI compatibility mode

You can test with SAM (Kernel drv).

Re: SCSI compatibility mode

You can adjust the scsi setting by interrupting a boot. Then go to the SER (service) menu. Type in scsi and you will see the settings for all of your cards. then try scsi help to get the details.

Re: SCSI compatibility mode

This sounds like a very good solution (7 points), however, my C-class machine does not have this SCSI option available from the SER menu. I will assume a software solution is not possible, and, continue on the SER theory. Thank you.
