Hello all,
Hello I'm quite new to SCSI, and I have yet some doubts (I have resolved
others by looking the excelent SCSI howto and SCSI faq)...
The setup: two onboard aic7880 (adaptec 2940UW), one(adapter 0) being
used with 2 internal HDs and 1 internal CDROM, the other(adapter 1) has
no devices attached (yet)...
Hopefully the other controller will have an external DAT drive and an
external CD-ReWriter, this devices will be shared with a NT UnServer 4.0
computer...
and the questions are...
1) Can I add on the fly (while system is running) devices to "adapter 1"
if this adapter has no other devices?
2) Is this possible with other devices attached but no running?
(I think these things can be done with DPT's adapters, from the "storage
manager" utility with the quiet "SCSI bus" option)
3) How I can tell Linux to scan the "adapter 1"'s SCSI bus to search
devices?
Any comment/suggestion will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Ulisses
