All Fibre Channel target devices should be detected and mapped to
Linux SCSI devices,
/dev/sd{a,b,c,...} when the mptscsih module is
loaded.
All Linux commands pertaining to SCSI disk storage management
(
fdisk , mke2fs , mount , etc.) using the /dev/sdX[N] notation should now
be functional.
FCP (SCSI) Device Access Example:
# fdisk /dev/sdb
# mke2fs /dev/sdb1
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/s1
3.5.6 Boot Setup Commands
3.5.6.1 Syntax
Setup commands can be passed to the SCSI host driver mptscsih as a
string variable using insmod . The following command installs the driver
module with the bus width set to narrow and Domain Validation disabled:
insmod mptscsih.o mptscsih="dv:n width:0"
Each string argument must be specified as keyword:value . Only lower-
case characters and digits are allowed.
3.5.6.2 Available Arguments
The available arguments are Domain Validation, Maximum SCSI Bus
Width, and Minimum SCSI Synchronous Factor.
Domain Validation
•
dv:n Disabled
•
dv:y Enabled [default]
The SCSI host driver performs a sequence of write, read, and compare
commands to each target device during driver initialization. If the driver
detects data corruption or bus hangs during this sequence, it
