COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
Q.
I have several hard drives in my server and in the Compaq ProLiant
Storage System. What SCSI IDs do I assign for these drives?
A.
Each hard drive must have a unique SCSI ID for
each
controller port. If your
drives are installed in a Compaq ProLiant Server, a Rack-Mountable Compaq
ProLiant Server, a Compaq ProLiant Storage System, or a Rack-Mountable
Compaq ProLiant Storage System, the SCSI IDs are
automatically
set
according to the bay in which the drives are installed and do not need to be
manually set.
”
If your drives are installed in a Compaq ProSignia, ProSignia 500,
ProSignia 300, ProSignia VS, or Systempro/XL, you must manually set the
SCSI ID jumpers.
Q.
Should SCSI IDs in my system be consecutive?
A.
No. It is no longer required that the IDs of devices on each SCSI bus be
consecutive. However, IDs must still be unique for each device on a single
SCSI bus.
CAUTION:
Do not interchange SCSI IDs after you configure
your
SMART-2DH Controller. Interchanging the SCSI IDs will result in
loss of data.
Q.
I am planning to install several 2.1, 4.3, and 9.1 Gigabyte Fast-SCSI-2
Hard Drives in my Compaq servers. Can I install one of these drives in
any drive bay?
A.
In the ProLiant and ProSignia Servers you may install these drives in any
drive bay; they do not need to be installed in contiguous bays. In
Systempro/XL Servers the 2.1, 4.3, and 9.1 Gigabyte Fast-SCSI-2 Hard Drives
must only be placed in the four bays in the upper row.
