<h1 class="topictitle1">Directly attached SCSI support for a logical partition</h1>
<div><p>Directly attached SCSI drives can be configured in a variety of
methods.</p>
<p>Directly attached SCSI disk, tape, and optical devices are controlled by
either the ibmsis device driver or the ipr device driver, depending on the
storage adapter type. Refer to the I/O device table to determine which device
driver your storage adapter utilizes. Refer to the PCI-X SCSI RAID Controller
Reference Guide for Linux (Doc SA23-1327) for full documentation for both
the ibmsis and ipr device drivers. This document contains information on how
to configure directly attached disks, configure raid arrays, and perform error
recovery and service.</p>
<p>Using the option to Display Disk Hardware Status in sisconfig, you see
a model type for each directly attached SCSI device. You can determine if
Linux has access to the disk by model number. If Linux does not have access
to the disk, sisconfig can be used to resolve common disk errors. If sisconfig
does not make the disk accessible to the logical partition, contact your next
level of support.</p>
<p>Directly attached SCSI drives in a logical partition displays the following
information:</p>

<p>Additional technical information on how to use the ibmsis utilities is
included in a readme file with each download.</p>
<p>Certain Linux drivers are required before you can use the directly attached
SCSI devices. Before you use ibmsis, verify you have the following Linux drivers: </p>
