Step 15 (IBM Power System with AIX Operating System Only)

This step verifies that the 7226 storage enclosure has been properly configured to the IBM Power System with AIX Operating System.

Check the configuration of the 7226 storage enclosure to the host system software by completing the following steps:

1. Log into the host system (AIX operating system).
   Note: You must have root authority to install or remove the 7226 storage enclosure from the system. To obtain root authority, see your system administrator.
2. To see the installed SAS device status, at the system prompt, type

   lsdev -Cs sas

   and press Enter. The command lists all of the SAS devices that are connected to the host system. Figure 1 shows an example of the screen that displays. The screen lists:

   1	Device name	3	System address
   2	Device Status	4	Description of the device

   
   

   

   
   

3. To see the installed SATA device status, at the system prompt, type

   lsdev -Cs sata

   and press Enter. The command lists all of the SATA devices that are connected to the host system. Figure 2 shows an example of the screen that displays. The screen lists:

   1	Device name	3	System address
   2	Device Status	4	Description of the device

   
   

   

   
   

4. To see the installed USB device status, at the system prompt, type

   #lsdev 

   and press Enter. The command lists all of the devices that are connected to the host system. Figure 3 shows an example of the screen that displays. The screen lists:

   1	Device name	3	System address
   2	Device Status	4	Description of the device

   
   

   

   
   

5. From the list of devices, identify the 7226 Storage Enclosure drive features. These are listed as:
   • SAS 4mm Tape Drive
   • SATA DVD-RAM Drive
   • USB 4mm Tape Drive
   • USB Mass Storage
     Note: "USB Mass Storage" refers to the RDX Removable Hard Disk Cartridge Feature
   • SAS 1/2-inch Cartridge Tape Drive
   • IBM LTO Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
   • IBM LTO Ultrium Tape Drive (SAS)

   If the status of the 7226 Storage Enclosure drive feature is displayed as Available, the device has successfully been configured.

   If the status is not displayed as Available, refer to Troubleshooting. For more information about configuring the 7226 Storage Enclosure to the system software, refer to your AIX or host system manuals.
