10.1.3 Description

The

symhisl

driver conforms to Sun Microsystems SCSA specifications

for device drivers. This driver allows connection of SCSI devices
including disk drives, CD-ROMs, and tape drives for PCI-based
machines. To support a new SCSI device, the Solaris 7 and Solaris 8
x86 architectures require that the device complies to the SCSI standard.

Note that there are different versions for the Solaris 7 and Solaris 8
driver, which are located on the SDMS Software Device Drivers and
Utilities CD-ROM. The directory structure is:

{UNIX CD-ROM path}/drivers/unixes/solaris/solaris7

or

{UNIX CD-ROM path}/drivers/unixes/solaris/solaris8

Solaris 7:

The SDMS

symhisl

driver software has been tested on

Solaris 7 Update 8/99 and later. Older versions have not
been tested. Older versions are known to require a patch
version of the DCA diskette in order to install this driver.
Please refer to the Sun web site for more information about
this patch. LSI Logic assumes no responsibility or liability
when you attempt to use the Solaris 7

symhisl

driver

software with older versions of Solaris that LSI Logic has
not tested.

Solaris 8:

The SDMS

symhisl

driver software has been tested on

Solaris 8 FCS. This software will not run on Solaris 7.
LSI Logic assumes no responsibility or liability when a user
attempts to use this software with older versions of Solaris
that LSI Logic has not tested.
