Using the ARM Command Line Utilities for Windows NT Viewing the Disk Array General Configuration Settings Parameter Default Setting Description Array SCSI configuration: Controller X SCSI Address N/A N/A Indicates the SCSI bus address to be used by controller X. Changes in this field will take affect only after controller X is reset. Controller Y SCSI Address Indicates the SCSI bus address to be used by controller Y. Changes in this field will take affect only after controller Y is reset. Write Cache ENABLED Indicates whether the disk array should cache write data. Generally, write cache is used even though a host system automatically disables this field. Read Cache DISABLED Indicates whether the disk array should cache read data. Note: This field does not represent what is actually happening. The disk array uses read cache algorithms. This field is put in place to facilitate some third party operating systems. SCSI Parity Checking ENABLED Indicates whether the disk array should check SCSI bus parity. Disabled means that bus parity checking is disabled. Enabled indicates that bus parity checking is enabled. SDTR ENABLED Indicates whether the disk array should initiate SDTR (Synchronous Data Transfer Request). Disabled, indicates the disk array will not initiate SDTR. Enabled indicates the disk array will initiate SDTR. WDTR ENABLED Indicates whether the disk array should initiate WDTR (Wide Data Transfer Request). Disabled, indicates the disk array will not initiate WDTR. Enabled indicates the disk array will initiate WDTR. Terminator Power ENABLED Indicates whether the disk array should provide power for the SCSI bus terminators. Disabled, indicates the disk array will not provide termination power. Enabled indicates the disk array will provide termination power. Unit Attention ENABLED Indicates whether the disk array should signal a Unit Attention condition immediately following power-on or reset. Disabled, indicates the disk array will not signal unit attention. Enabled indicates the disk array will signal unit attention. 265 Windows NT
